One of the best parts about living in New Jersey or New York is the view. Maybe it’s the iconic Manhattan skyline, maybe it’s a peaceful stretch of waterfront, or maybe it’s your own backyard garden. Whatever it is, you want to enjoy it—without worrying about glare, UV damage, or sweltering heat.
Enter Hunter Douglas solar shades: the perfect balance between beauty and protection. These shades are engineered to filter harmful UV rays, reduce glare, and prevent your furnishings from fading, all while maintaining your view to the outside. They come in a variety of “openness factors” (that’s designer-speak for how much you can see through them), so you can customize how much light and privacy you want.
Picture this: you’re having morning coffee with the sun streaming in, but it’s soft, diffused, and your hardwood floors aren’t taking a beating. Or maybe it’s a weekend movie afternoon—solar shades can cut the glare without making your space feel like a cave.
They also bring a clean, modern aesthetic to your space. No bulky drapes, no heavy fabric—just sleek lines and understated elegance. And if you want to go next-level, you can pair solar shades with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation so they adjust automatically throughout the day.
At Shade Place, we’ve seen solar shades transform everything from high-rise apartments to cozy brownstones. They’re especially popular in open-concept spaces with large windows where light control is essential but blocking the view isn’t an option.
Whether you’re protecting your investment or just making your space more comfortable, solar shades are a smart, stylish choice.
