Sunscreen Blinds
Sunscreen Blinds for Calgary Homes
Cut the glare and UV without losing your view. Sunscreen blinds filter harsh light while letting you see outside - perfect for Calgary's bright, sunny days.
Glare Control, View Preserved
Sunscreen blinds - also called solar shades - are made from a mesh-like fabric that filters sunlight. They reduce glare, block UV rays, and cut heat gain, all while maintaining a see-through view during the day.
From inside your home, you can still see your yard, your street, and the mountains. From outside, the fabric provides daytime privacy by making the interior harder to see.
They're an ideal choice for south- and west-facing windows, rooms with TV or computer screens, or any space where you want to enjoy natural light without the harshness.
Choosing Your Openness Level
Sunscreen fabrics come in different openness levels, which describe how much light and visibility the fabric allows:
1% openness
Maximum glare and UV reduction, limited outward visibility. Best for rooms with heavy screen use or intense sun exposure.
3% openness
The most popular balance of glare control and outward view. Works well in most rooms.
5% openness
Maximum outward visibility with lighter UV filtering. Good for rooms where the view is the priority.
We bring fabric samples in each openness level to your consultation so you can compare them against your actual windows and light conditions.
