Screen & Solar Shades
At Mountain Blind Man, we proudly offer Hunter Douglas Designer Screen & Solar Shades—a sleek, modern way to manage sunlight and heat while preserving your Colorado and Arizona views. These shades reduce glare, block UV rays, and filter harsh light, all while allowing soft, natural light indoors. Perfect for sunny spaces like living rooms, home offices, and patios, they help keep your home cool and stylish while protecting furniture and floors from sun damage. Available in both manual and motorized operating systems.
Understanding Screen Shade Opacities
Hunter Douglas screen shades, which come in a range of opacity levels—1%, 3%, 5%, and 10%—give you the flexibility to balance light control, privacy, and your view of the outdoors. The percentage represents how much light the fabric allows to pass through, so a lower number means less openness and more privacy. Below, you’ll see photos of both black and white screen shades at each opacity level to help you visualize the difference.
1% Openness: Maximum privacy and glare control; ideal for rooms where you want to block bright sunlight while maintaining a soft glow.
3% Openness: Excellent for reducing glare with a bit more view-through; great for living rooms or offices with strong sun exposure.
5% Openness: A balanced option that filters light gently while preserving clearer views to the outside.
10% Openness: Most open and airy feel; allows plenty of natural light and the clearest views, while still offering subtle sun protection.
No matter the opacity, screen shades help protect your interiors from UV damage while enhancing the beauty of your windows in Colorado and Arizona.
