Screen shades, sometimes called solar shades, are designed to reduce glare and solar heat gain while preserving your view to the outside. Unlike blackout shades, screen fabrics allow you to see through the window while dramatically cutting the intensity of incoming sunlight and heat. They are an especially popular choice for living rooms, home offices, and rooms with large windows or sliders where natural light and an outdoor view are important but harsh glare is a problem. Spokane Blinds carries Hunter Douglas screen shade collections in a range of openness factors, from near-transparent to high-privacy, to suit any orientation and sun exposure. We bring samples to your home so you can see exactly how each fabric performs in your specific rooms.
Book NowThe openness factor of a screen shade fabric determines how much light and view passes through, and choosing the right percentage makes a significant difference in a room's comfort and appearance. A 3% openness fabric provides high privacy and strong glare reduction while maintaining an outward view, making it ideal for street-facing rooms. A 10% or 14% openness fabric is more transparent and better suited for rooms where preserving the outdoor view is the top priority. Hunter Douglas offers screen fabrics in a range of openness levels, colors, and PVC-free eco options to suit any preference. Spokane Blinds helps you match the right openness factor to each window's sun exposure and your daily routine.
Screen Shades are available in a wide range of globally sourced fabrics, openness factors, and top and bottom treatments, letting you customize both the look and the performance of your shades. Our Spokane design team will help you find the right fabric openness to balance your view, glare control, and privacy needs.
Hunter Douglas screen shades are built for effortless, safe daily use. Cordless and motorized options are available across the collection, with PowerView automation allowing you to schedule your shades to adjust automatically throughout the day based on the sun's position and your preferences. Motorized screen shades are especially popular on large windows and sliding glass doors where manual operation would be awkward. Hunter Douglas backs every screen shade with a comprehensive warranty, and Spokane Blinds provides expert installation that ensures smooth, reliable performance from day one. Our team is available for service and adjustments long after the installation is complete.
Book NowScreen shades have a minimal, modern look that suits contemporary interiors without calling attention to themselves. When rolled down, the woven fabric texture adds a subtle layer of visual interest to the window while keeping the overall look clean and uncluttered. Available in a range of neutral and earthy tones, screen fabrics coordinate easily with most interior color schemes. Because they preserve the outdoor view, rooms feel connected to the outside even with the shades fully deployed. Spokane Blinds can help you select a fabric color and openness factor that creates the exact atmosphere you want in each room of your home.
UV protection is one of the primary reasons homeowners choose screen shades, and they deliver it exceptionally well. Even at a 14% openness factor, screen fabrics block a significant portion of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays, slowing the fading of floors, furniture, and art that sit near sun-facing windows. At lower openness factors like 3% or 5%, the UV protection is substantially stronger while still maintaining a view to the outside. Screen shades allow you to enjoy natural light and outdoor views without sacrificing the long-term condition of your home's interior. Spokane Blinds will help you identify the right openness factor to balance view, light, and UV protection for every window.
