1. Blackout Shades

As the name suggests, blackout shades are designed to block out all external light when closed. These are ideal for bedrooms and home theaters where you need total darkness for sleeping or watching movies. Besides preventing light from entering the room, these custom shades also keep the room cool on hot summer days and are ideal for spots where you need greater privacy. 

2. Solar Shades

Unlike room-darkening shades, solar shades can filter the light entering a room instead of completely blocking it out. Even if the shades are rolled down, the room is still illuminated, and you can get a view of the outside.

But despite having an open weave, the shades are fully capable of blocking UV rays, allowing you to protect your décor and furnishings from sun damage. These motorized window treatments are less private than room-darkening shades but help you save energy by otpimizing natural light throughout the day. 

3. Dual Shades

What if you want to combine the functionality of solar shades and blackout shades on a single window? Then you want to opt for dual shade solutions. A single custom window treatment will contain two different types of fabrics—both controlled by the same motor. One provides total blackout while the other filters the light. 

Normally these installations go in multi-purpose spaces like a media room. During a family movie night, bring down the blackout shades for the ultimate viewing experience. Make the most of sunlight when reading a book or hosting friends during the day by switching to solar shades. These shades can strive for the perfect balance between comfort, privacy and energy efficiency.
