Solar Shade Systems

Block the Heat, Not the View

Solar shades help reduce indoor heat while letting you enjoy outdoor views. They block sunlight without making your room feel dark or enclosed.

Energy-Efficient Sun Control

Built to Save Year-Round

Solar shades help stabilize indoor temperatures by reflecting or filtering solar heat gain.
This reduces the workload on cooling systems during warmer months, lowering energy usage.
The material structure minimizes thermal transfer while maintaining natural light.
Over time, these shades assist in reducing HVAC strain and utility costs, making them a smart upgrade for homes and businesses focused on energy-conscious design.
Their low-impact visual presence also contributes to better daylight harvesting, which complements sustainable building strategies.

Advanced Shade Fabrics

Designed for Comfort and Durability

The fabric used in high-quality solar shades is engineered to handle both light management and longevity.
Woven with precision using vinyl-coated polyester or fiberglass blends, these materials resist fading, moisture, and warping.
Openness factors vary, allowing users to choose how much light to allow through, typically ranging from 1% to 10%.
Additionally, UV blockage rates often exceed 90%, which protects furnishings, flooring, and digital screens from sun damage.
The surface is easy to clean and doesn’t trap dust, making it a practical choice for interior air quality as well.

Seamless Integration

Smart Compatibility Meets Everyday Ease

Modern solar shades are designed to work with both manual and automated systems. Whether paired with a handheld remote, wall switch, or integrated into home automation hubs, the motors used in these systems are low-noise and energy-efficient. Integration options include programmable timers or light sensors that adjust shades based on sunlight intensity. For commercial users, centralized control over multiple shades provides ease of operation, especially in large open-plan areas or floor-to-ceiling glass structures. These systems also minimize cord clutter, enhancing child and pet safety.

Glare Reduction for Every Space

Make Natural Light Work for You

Glare from direct sunlight can reduce comfort and visibility, especially in media rooms, offices, or any screen-heavy environments. Solar shades diffuse this light, softening the contrast between dark and bright areas. This improves clarity for reading, computing, or watching television without requiring blackout conditions. In commercial environments, controlled glare enhances worker productivity and reduces eye strain. Importantly, this light control happens without shutting out the outdoors, maintaining a visual connection with natural surroundings and enhancing space ambiance.

Exterior and Interior Solutions

Tailored for Where You Need Them

Patio Applications

Outdoor solar shades on patios offer breathable sun protection while maintaining airflow and visibility, transforming outdoor spaces into comfortable extensions of the home.

Sunroom Control

For sunrooms, solar shades prevent the room from overheating while allowing light diffusion to brighten the space without harsh glare.

Interior Room Uses

Inside, solar shades suit living rooms, kitchens, and offices where daytime light is welcome but needs moderation for comfort and utility.

Multi-Zone Customization

Each zone of a building can use a specific openness level or fabric density based on orientation and usage, optimizing performance across all spaces.

Durable Performance

Engineered to Withstand the Elements

UV-Stable Materials

Our solar shades are made using UV-resistant coatings to withstand prolonged sunlight without cracking, fading, or degrading over time.

Moisture Resistance

Materials repel moisture and resist mildew growth, making them suitable for outdoor or humid environments such as porches or kitchens.

Structural Reinforcement

Shade components include corrosion-resistant brackets and tension controls that provide stability even in high-use areas.

Low Maintenance Needs

Surfaces can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The fabric’s weave doesn’t trap dust or allergens, supporting easier upkeep year-round.

Custom Fit Installations

Precision Coverage Without Gaps

Proper installation is essential to solar shade performance. Keystone Group LLC ensures every unit is custom-measured for a perfect fit, reducing the risk of light bleed from edges or corners. Exact dimensions are matched to the window frame or opening, whether recessed or surface-mounted. This results in tighter seal coverage and better shade efficiency. Our trained technicians account for mounting depth, hardware clearance, and fabric tension to ensure the finished product operates smoothly and aligns with the architectural layout. A clean, streamlined fit also adds to the visual appeal of the space.
