Motorized Solar Shades | Northwest Arkansas
Block the Sun. Keep the View.
Arkansas heat and glare can make your outdoor space unusable for months. Our motorized solar shades give you precise control over sunlight, UV exposure, and privacy — without sacrificing your view or your airflow.
What Solar Shades Do
Solar shades are engineered to block harmful UV rays, reduce heat gain, and cut glare while maintaining outward visibility. Unlike blackout shades, they let in diffused natural light and allow airflow while dramatically reducing the temperature of your outdoor space. Depending on the fabric openness factor you choose, our solar shades can block between 95% and 99% of UV radiation.
Choosing Your Openness Factor
The openness factor determines how much light and airflow passes through the fabric. Lower openness means more privacy and more UV blocking. Nano 95 — 5% Open Our most popular solar shade fabric. Blocks 95% of UV rays, reduces glare significantly, and provides a two-way mirror effect — you can see out, neighbors cannot see in during daylight hours. Available in multiple colors and textures. Nano 97 — 3% Open Increased privacy and UV protection. Ideal for west-facing patios with intense afternoon sun or spaces where maximum shade is the priority. Nano 99 — 1% Open Near-complete privacy and maximum UV and heat blocking. Best for spaces where privacy is critical or sun exposure is extreme.
