Cut the Summer Glare and UV — Without Losing the View
The problem with Eastside summers: the sun is getting hotter and brighter, glare washes out your screens and view windows in the afternoon, and UV fades your floors and furniture — all while pushing up your PSE bills. But you don’t want to block the Cascade or Lake Washington view you paid for.
Solar shades are the fix. They act like sunglasses for your windows, blocking the sun’s heat and up to 99% of harmful UV while preserving your outward view — protecting your interiors and easing your PSE bills through the bright months. Choose your openness factor to balance heat control against view, and upgrade to Alexa-ready motorization for automatic afternoon glare control. Piper and Dan bring the luxury showroom to your Eastside home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Shades in Bellevue
Will solar shades block my Cascade or lake view?
No — solar shades preserve your outward view during the day while blocking heat, glare, and up to 99% of UV. A lower openness factor (1-3%) gives more control; a higher one (5-10%) keeps an even clearer view.
We match the openness to each window’s exposure and view.
Do solar shades protect my floors and furniture from fading?
Yes — solar shades block up to 99% of UV, the main cause of fading in hardwood floors, rugs, and furniture, especially on bright, view-facing Eastside windows.
