Solar Shades in Greensboro, NC and Nearby Areas for Homes and Offices
Intense sunlight in Greensboro can cause screen glare, hot spots near windows, and fading on floors and furniture. If you work from home or manage an office, the poor window coverings can make rooms uncomfortable during the brightest parts of the day.
Solar shades are designed to reduce glare and help block harmful UV rays while keeping your view intact. My Custom Blinds helps homeowners and businesses in Greensboro, Wilmington, and Lake Norman, NC, choose the right solar shades for their spaces.

Solar Shade Options in Greensboro: Interior, Office and Exterior:
Interior Solar Roller Shades for Homes
Interior solar shades are a common choice for living rooms, kitchens, and home offices when people want glare reduction without losing their view. These solar roller shades filter harsh sunlight and help block UV rays, which can help keep interiors cooler and rooms more comfortable on sunny days.
Office Solar Shades for Commercial Spaces
Office solar shades are commonly used to improve screen visibility and reduce harsh light in work areas, reception spaces, and conference rooms while maintaining a clean, professional look. If your space needs stronger light control in meeting rooms, we can also look through some commercial shade options during your visit.
Exterior Solar Shades for Patios and Porches
Exterior solar shades are used on patios, porches, and outdoor seating areas where constant sun exposure makes the space harder to use. Outdoor solar screens help reduce glare and UV exposure, improving comfort and making your patio area more usable during the brightest parts of the day.
Benefits of Solar Screen Shades
Solar screen shades are a practical choice if you want sunlight control without making a room feel closed off. By reducing glare, they can make everyday activities more comfortable, especially in spaces with TVs, computer screens, or strong afternoon sun. UV-blocking window shades can help prevent fading on flooring, furniture, and finishes.
Solar shades help keep a room cooler in hot weather by blocking some of the sun’s heat from entering through windows. That usually results in fewer hot spots in seating areas and a more consistent temperature throughout the room. Since solar shades maintain outward visibility, they are a good fit for rooms where natural light matters but direct sun is a problem.
For homes and offices, solar screens for windows offer a clean look that complements many styles. During your in-person consultation, you can compare fabrics and light-filtering levels in the room where the shades will actually be used, which makes the selection process easier and more accurate. Motorized solar shades are also beneficial for most kinds of windows, especially for larger windows or multi-window spaces.

Our Solar Shade Consultation and Installation Process
Step 1:
Free Consultation
A window treatment specialist visits your home or office in Greensboro, Wilmington, or Lake Norman. We review each room’s lighting, glare, and privacy needs, then compare solar shade options using samples in your own lighting conditions.
Step 2:Measuring and Clear Pricing
Next, we take exact measurements and confirm details to ensure proper fit and function, including mount type, lift choice, and trim conditions. You receive clear options with expected lead times and pricing. When applicable, we can review a written quote from an authorized local retailer for a price match.
Step 3: Installation and Setup
Our installers complete the installation and test each shade before leaving. If you choose motorized solar shades, we set up the controls you selected and review basic operation and care so everything works as expected.
Locally owned with long-term experience
Solar screens for windows perform best when they are specifically selected for the room and installed with correct measurements and the right mount. My Custom Blinds serves Greensboro, Wilmington, and Lake Norman, with experience helping homeowners and businesses manage glare, heat, and UV exposure in real-world conditions.
Free Consultation in Your Space
We start with a free consultation so you can review solar shade materials under your own lighting conditions. It is much easier to choose the right level of sun control when you are comparing options in your actual house rather than making decisions based on online images.
