Solar and Blackout Shades

Whether you want to let in just the right amount of light, block it out completely, or create a soft glow, South County Shades has the perfect solution. Our collection of solar, blackout, and light-filtering shades offers versatile options that allow you to manage natural lighting, protect your privacy, and enhance your home’s aesthetic.

From bright, sun-filled rooms to cozy, private spaces, these shades provide the perfect balance of functionality and style.

Solar Shades: Enjoy Natural Light Without the Heat

For rooms that benefit from natural light but need protection from glare and harmful UV rays, solar shades are the ideal choice. These shades filter sunlight, allowing you to enjoy daylight without the harsh effects of direct exposure. Solar shades help reduce glare, making them perfect for living rooms, offices, and kitchens.

• UV Protection: Blocks harmful rays to protect furniture and flooring.
• Preserve Your View: Transparent designs let you enjoy outdoor views without sacrificing comfort.
• Energy Efficiency: Solar shades reduce heat, helping lower cooling costs in warmer months.

Blackout Shades: Maximum Darkness and Privacy

For rooms where you need complete control over light and privacy—such as bedrooms, nurseries, or media rooms—our blackout shades offer total darkness. These shades block 100% of light, ensuring restful sleep, uninterrupted relaxation, or glare-free movie nights.

• Total Light Blockage: Creates the perfect environment for sleep or relaxation.
• Complete Privacy: Prevents any visibility from outside.
• Ideal for Media Rooms: Eliminates glare for optimal viewing.

Light-Filtering Shades: Gentle Light with Privacy

If you want to let natural light in while still maintaining privacy, light-filtering shades are a perfect option. These shades allow soft, natural light to pass through while offering a level of privacy that makes them great for shared spaces like living rooms or dining rooms.

• Filtered Light: Softens direct sunlight for a warm, inviting atmosphere.
• Maintains Privacy: Provides privacy without sacrificing light.
• Ideal for Common Areas: Light-filtering shades are great for spaces where you want a balance of natural light and privacy.

Custom Designs for Every Room

At South County Shades, we offer a wide range of fabrics, colors, and patterns to ensure your solar, blackout, or light-filtering shades complement your home’s decor. Whether you’re looking for neutral tones that blend in or bold designs that stand out, we’ll help you customize the perfect shades for your space.

For added convenience, all of our shades are available with motorization options, allowing you to adjust them with a remote or integrate them into your smart home system for effortless control.

Energy Efficiency and Comfort

Solar, blackout, and light-filtering shades don’t just provide style—they also help improve your home’s energy efficiency. Solar shades reduce heat from direct sunlight, keeping your home cooler and lowering your need for air conditioning. Blackout shades add insulation by keeping warmth inside during cooler months, while light-filtering shades help diffuse light without creating heat buildup.

This means a more comfortable home year-round, with reduced energy costs.
