Product Information
While solar shades are beloved for their unique ability to both block sun and glare while still letting you see through to your view outside, they can sometimes lack in designer appeal. Introducing our Premium Textured Solar Shades collection to give you more decorative options while keeping all the energy-efficient functionality solar shades are known for. The 3% openness rating of all the fabrics in this assortment provides the perfect balance of light blocking and visibility through the shade. We also incorporated a variety of lift options depending on your needs and preference, including a premium cordless option – unlike other roller-style shades that need a slight pull downward before raising the shade, this cordless system just glides up or down with no fuss. You'll love the look and your view – without the bright sun!
Get to know this shade:
- Solar screen shade fabric is 100% polyester (no PVC), and all styles have a 3% openness factor (blocking 97% of light and UV rays)
- Three convenient lift options to choose from – beaded chain loop, cordless, or motorized operation
- Brackets, hem bar and other hardware come in one of three colors coordinated to the fabric color (beaded chain will be one of eight colors)
Why you'll love this shade:
- 3% fabric "openness" blocks 97% of light and UV rays to reduce heat gain from direct sun and protect your furnishings from fading
- Cordless lift option is certified Best for Kids™ for safe usage with small children and easily raises with no special pulling or fiddling
- One 30" operating pole is sent with each order of cordless shades to help reach shades in taller windows
- Add an optional 4 1/2" fabric-wrapped fascia valance for a "complete" look and to cover the roller tube and brackets
- Greenguard Certified with environmentally friendly production and materials
- Shade conforms to NFPA 701 code for flame resistance for commercial compliance and peace of mind at home
- All lift controls meet CPSC child safety guidelines
Key considerations:
- Solar shades do not provide nighttime privacy – a lit room is visible through the shade from the outside
- Pair with curtains or another window treatment if nighttime privacy is needed
- The fabric width will be up to 1 1/2" narrower (3/4" on each side) than ordered width due to the brackets and operating mechanisms at the top of the shade

How to Measure
How to Measure: Inside Mount
3 min read
Let's make sure an inside mount will work for your window! Using a metal tape measure, first check if you have sufficient depth:
- Measure inside the window opening from the back of the window to the front of the opening where the shade would mount. To mount the brackets, the depth at the top of the window must be at least 2 1/4" and up to 3 1/4" for some shade sizes and configurations (check our Specifications and Restrictions section for specifics). To have a flush mount (meaning the shade is fully recessed in the window opening) the depth must be at least 3 3/8" and up to 4 1/4" depending on shade configuration. If your depth is not sufficient for mounting the brackets, please see our outside mount instructions or consider a different product.
How to Measure:
Let's start with the Width:
- Measure inside of the window opening/frame from left to right at the top of the opening to the nearest 1/8". If rounding is necessary, round down to the nearest 1/8". That is your ordering width.
Now, let's do the Height:
- Measure the inside of the window opening/frame from the top of the opening to the bottom of the opening/sill to the nearest 1/8" in three places: on the left-hand side, the middle, and on the right-hand side. Write down all 3 measurements and circle the tallest. That is your ordering height.
Note: Always provide us with the actual measurement of the window opening. We will make the necessary deduction of approximately 1/8" to the width of the top of the shade to accommodate the installation brackets.
The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1 3/8" – 1 5/8" narrower than the ordered width (up to 13/16" gap on each side between the window opening and the edge of the fabric). When maximum light blocking is needed, consider an outside mount or an alternate product.
No deductions will be made to the ordered height.
How to Measure: Outside Mount
3 min read
Before you start measuring, decide where above your window opening you want to mount your shade. Depending on shade configuration, you will need at least 1 1/2" and up to 2 5/8" of flat vertical space above the window to mount the brackets. Follow the directions below for where you'd like to install your shade.
If you do not have sufficient vertical space for mounting the brackets, please see our inside mount instructions or consider a different product.
Your ordered width will be the "tip to tip" measurement, which is the widest part of the top of the shade including the brackets and cassette valance (if applicable). The fabric portion of the shade will be approximately 1 3/8" – 1 5/8" narrower than the ordered width (up to 13/16" on either side. If you wish to have the fabric cover a specific width, we recommend ordering slightly wider – just ensure that you have enough horizontal space to mount the shade.
Width:
- Looking at your window and surrounding wall, decide what area you would like to cover. We recommend the shade extends about 2-3" on each side of the window opening for the best light control and appearance.
- Using a metal tape measure, measure from left to right including your desired extra space on each side of the window—that is your ordering width.
Height:
- Consider how far above the window you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Since the shade spools onto the roll, it does not need to be installed high above the window to have the shade fabric fully clear the window opening.
- Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.

- Measure from the top of where you will mount the shade on the wall down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below your window opening as you used above, or to the bottom edge of the trim if you prefer; if you have a protruding windowsill, measure down to the top of the sill. That is your ordering height.
Note: The shade fabric may rub against the trim when operating. If your trim is more than 1/2" thick, consider adding shims (not included) under the brackets for additional clearance. If your trim is 3/4" or thicker, we recommend ordering the shade with the reverse roll option.
Width:
- We don't normally recommend mounting roller shades directly on the trim unless your window configuration doesn't allow for other placements. Your ordered width will be the bracket to bracket measurement which cannot exceed the width of your trim. However, the fabric portion of roller shades is always narrower than the ordered width, and will not extend to the edges of the trim.
- Confirm that the height of your trim is at least the minimum height required for installing the mounting brackets. At the top of your window, use a steel measuring tape and measure from outer edge to outer edge of the trim. That is your ordering width.
- Note that the fabric portion of the shade will be narrower than your ordered width.
Height:
- Measure from the top of your trim to the bottom of your trim or to the top of the windowsill if you have a protruding sill. That is your ordering height.
Width:
- Using a metal tape measure, measure left to right from the outside edge of the trim piece that goes around the glass to the other outside edge. That is your ordering width. However, if you have space, it is best to order the shade about 2-3" wider for better light control.
Height:
- Consider how far above the window trim piece you would like to install your shade but at least starting with the minimum vertical space referenced above. Measure down to where you want the bottom of the shade to be, using the same extra space below the window trim piece as you used above. That is your ordering height.
Note: We offer magnetic hold-downs for this product which can be requested during the ordering process. These should be installed for a successful door mount as they secure the shade at the bottom of the door so that it does not swing when the door opens and closes.

We are very pleased with our new solar shades. They went up without any problems and look amazing!! They are translucent enough to allow in light, but no one is able to see inside the windows. The color and texture is exactly what I wanted. Thank you for your great service and expediting them within two weeks.
Laurie
We have 3 10' tall windows with a nice view, BUT the afternnoon sun just cooks us in the summer. We can't see our TV to watch a movie, and two chairs were already fading from it. We measured as Blindster directed, and ordered the shades. They came faster than expected, and my husband put them up with no issues. We are loving them. We can still see the mountains through them. They help cut the glare and the sun in late afternoon, then we can raise them in the evening and morning. They are wonderful!
Michael r
Look nice. Good quality. Great price! Measurement advisories about shades being shorter than full measured width are confusing. Why not simply ask for width to be covered and just cut shades automatically?
Chuck
Excellent!
Jacquline
These shades are so beautiful. Many compliments. They are easy to install too
Michelle
The blind was perfect for above my kitchen sink. Quality was excellent and it fit perfectly and was very easy to install.

This shade works great. Cuts out the bright sun and heat and yet doesn't darken the room too much. The fit was perfect.
