Filter the sun & keep your view with our powerful retractable solar screens.
Our motorized solar screens filter the sun’s UV rays, so you limit the sun’s damaging effects on your skin, furniture and floors. But unlike our aluminum rolling shutters, our solar screens let you take in that beautiful sunset view, while protecting your home!
They may be thin, but our solar screens are powerful, durable, and incredibly useful.

A PAMA Energy Study also showed roller shades can reduce annual cooling energy costs up to 86% for homes in San Francisco.

The US Department of Energy also recommends solar shades as an energy-efficient window treatment (Source: Energy.gov).
"When these shades are rolled down, you do not lose the view. You can still see through it, and that was the main factor in purchasing this product..."
“We called European Rolling Shutters ... and within a couple of days we had our problem solved.”
"It also helps that it is on the outside so it cuts down the heat before it comes through the glass and enters in, which is preferred to curtains inside.”
“Had I not put the Solar Shades in, I don’t think I’d be very happy. I mean, the heat would be a lot worse than it is and it just wouldn’t be the enjoyment that I get.”
Since 1983, our family-owned business has been providing solar screens and other shading solutions to homes all over the SF Bay Area. We take great pride in our quality custom-made screens and are dedicated to offer the highest customer service.
This commitment is reflected in our customers’ testimonials and by The San Jose Mercury News–who has voted us the “Best Window Covering/Shutters” company in the Silicon Valley for the seventh time.
