Solar Shades vs Roller Shades: What Is the Difference?

Solar screen roller shades filter UV and reduce glare while keeping your view. Standard roller shades offer blackout and room-darkening options. Both are excellent for South Florida sun exposure.

WHAT ARE SOLAR SHADES?

Solar shades use a woven screen fabric that blocks UV rays and reduces heat while allowing you to see outside. They are popular on waterfront homes and large living room windows in Broward and Palm Beach.

WHEN TO CHOOSE STANDARD ROLLER SHADES

Blackout and room-darkening roller fabrics are better for bedrooms and media rooms where you need full privacy and light blocking. Mimo Blinds offers both solar and standard roller options with motorization.
