Blinds vs. Shutters vs. Roller Shades: Which is Right for Your Vegas Home? (2026 Comparison)
The Modern Solution for Heat Control. Factory Direct Blackout & Light Filtering Fabrics.
Custom Roller Shades in Las Vegas
You didn't buy a home with a view just to cover it up with heavy drapes. Roller Shades (also known as Solar Screens) are the #1 choice for modern Las Vegas homes and high-rise condos. They offer a sleek, minimalist profile that disappears when raised and cuts the desert glare when lowered.
Choosing the Right "Openness" %
Solar shades come in different weave densities. The percentage tells you how much UV light gets through.
- 1% Openness: Maximum privacy, minimal view. Best for bedrooms or West-facing windows.
- 3% - 5% Openness: The "Vegas Standard." Blocks heat but keeps your view of the Strip visible.
- 10% Openness: High visibility, but less heat protection.
Solar vs. Blackout vs. Dual
| Type | Privacy Level | Best Room |
|---|---|---|
| Solar Shades | Daytime Only | Living Room / Kitchen |
| Blackout Shades | 100% Privacy | Master Bedroom / Media Room |
| Dual Roller (Zebra) | Adjustable | Multi-Purpose Rooms |
Can't Decide? Get Both with Dual Shades.
The Dual Roller System is the ultimate solution for Las Vegas. We install two separate fabric rolls on a single bracket:
- Back Roll (Solar): Keep this down during the day to block sun and see the view.
- Front Roll (Blackout): Lower this at night for 100% privacy and darkness.
Available with Motorized Controls for easy lifting.
