What Sets Our Solar Shades Apart

View Through Performance

Solar shades are rated by openness factor, the percentage of the fabric that allows light to pass through. A tighter weave blocks more heat and UV while a more open weave preserves a clearer view. Our Toronto team helps you select the right openness factor for each room based on sun orientation, window size, and how much of the outside you want to see throughout the day.

UV and Heat Rejection

Toronto’s summer sun causes fading in flooring, furniture, and artwork. Our solar roller shades block up to 99% of UV rays at the window, protecting your interiors and reducing solar heat gain throughout the afternoon. Rooms stay cooler, your air conditioning runs less, and your furnishings hold their colour for years longer.

Motorized Sun Control

Our motorized solar shades respond to changing light conditions automatically. Connect them to a sun sensor, smart home hub, or app based schedule and your shades raise and lower on their own as the sun moves across your windows. The result is consistent comfort throughout the day with zero manual adjustment required.

Unique Features of Motorized Solar Shades

UV Protection Without Losing the View

Engineered with tightly woven fabrics, solar shades filter sunlight while preserving your view—preventing fading on furniture, flooring, and artwork without darkening the room.

Effortless Motorization

Control glare and brightness with voice commands, remote control, or scheduling via smart home systems. Enjoy consistent comfort all day long without lifting a finger.

Clean, Architectural Aesthetic

Their sleek profile and tailored fit blend seamlessly with contemporary interiors—making solar shades a favorite for designers and homeowners seeking a crisp, unobtrusive finish.

“I recently had an 8ft black automatic blind installed by Adriano and his team from Luxury Window Coverings, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The entire experience—from consultation to installation—was seamless and professional. The quality of the product is exceptional, and it adds a sleek, modern touch to my home. Adriano’s attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly stood out. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-tier window coverings and outstanding customer care!”

“Andreas is very professional. Quick to quote and completed the work even faster. My experience with Luxury Blinds was great, I didn’t need to dig for information, he provided direction and good guidance with the type of shade and colour. Best decision I made was to contact him. He came recommended to me by a good friend who used his services as well.”

“Adriano and his team at Luxury Window Coverings did a fantastic job on my roller blinds for my bay window. My house was built in 1870 so the windows are different sizes with one of them under 15 inches wide. They were the only place that I found that could custom make motorized blinds for my odd sized windows and they’re a local Toronto business with all assembly done here: the only part not made here are the motors which are made in France and which they modified to fit my narrow windows. They were knowledgeable, very informative, friendly and courteous and their price was very good for the high quality of the blinds. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Well done.”

Solar Shade FAQs

Discover quick answers to the most common questions about our custom drapery and motorized window treatments.

How do solar shades differ from regular roller shades?

Solar shades are designed with specialized fabrics that filter sunlight, reduce glare, and block harmful UV rays—without completely blocking your view—unlike traditional roller shades which often fully darken a space.

Can I still see outside when the solar shades are down?

Yes! Solar shades maintain your outdoor view while reducing glare and heat. The openness factor of the fabric determines how much visibility and light control you get.

Will solar shades help lower my energy bills?

Absolutely. By blocking solar heat, these shades help keep interiors cooler, which reduces the load on your HVAC system and helps lower energy costs.

Are solar shades available with motorization?

Definitely. Our solar shades can be motorized for easy operation by remote, wall switch, app, or even voice control—perfect for smart home integration.

Do solar shades protect furniture from fading?

Yes. They filter out damaging UV rays that cause fading, helping to preserve the color and life of your floors, furniture, and artwork.

How long does installation take?

Most projects are completed within just two weeks from your consultation, with professional installation typically done in a single day.
