Interior Solar Shades

Dramatically increase the energy efficiency of your home or office. Solar Shades are the number one energy saver.

If you've ever stood by a window on a sunny day or a cold night then you know that windows have a lot to do with how comfortable your home or office feels.

If you experience blinding sunlight during the day and your home or office is turned into an oven, solar shades offer heat and glare control.

Virtually all homes and buildings in which people live and work have glass. We love the natural light that glass allows into our spaces, and the ability to see outside. However, we don't love the glare we get on a TV or computer screen, or the strain it causes, and we definitely don't love faded carpet or fabric, or the discomfort of excessive heat.

Whether you are dealing with a small standard windows, a very large window, a greenhouse, a sloped glass surface or curved glass, or an overhead skylight, whether you need functional shading alone, or functional shading with a designer look, when the sun is a problem, Seesawusa.com has the answer.

Seesawusa.com offers only the finest fabrics. We offer a wide array of colors and screen densities, allowing you to maintain your exterior view, while effectively blocking out the sun's damaging rays.

Most of our window treatments are pre-assembled and simply snap into brackets that you attach.

Clutch/Chain lifting system is standard; motorization is an optional add-on.

Why Solar Shades Make Sense

The Physics Of Heat Is That It Is Always Drawn Towards The Coldest Temperature
Lay your hand on an aluminum ice cube tray. What do you feel? You feel your hand get cold. What actually happened is that heat was drawn out of your hand, that is why your hand print was left on the tray.

Air Filtration through most 30-inch x 60-inch double-hung windows is like having a 12 square inch hole in the window.

Air filtration can be experienced by feeling cold air move across floors. It can be seen by watching drapes and shades move, and it can be heard whistling through the windows. Heat moves from warmer to colder areas and will enter through a window on a warmer day but escape through a window on a cold night.

Heat travels via three different methods.
  • The first way is Radiation
    • Sunlight is radiation and most of it passes directly through glass, warming the objects on the other side.
  • The second method is Conduction
    • Conduction occurs when heat is transmitted through an object
    • Glass is a good conductor, and transmits heat from warm air that touches it.
  • The third method is Convection
    • Convection happens when heat is stirred by moving air.

Solar shades are an effective energy saver. The solar shade forms an insulating layer of air between the shade and the window

Protect Your Investments

Chairs, carpet, flooring, woodwork can dry rot due to sun damage, and fade from UV exposure. Products sitting on the shelves and advertisements located in direct sunlight may also fade or accrue damage resulting in short shelf life and potential lost profits.

Create a comfortable environment using solar shades to reduce glare on computer screens, television screens and cash registers. Save on heating and cooling costs with zero effort using automated motorized controls.

Each window is unique and so should the shading system. When selecting a window treatment you should choose the kind of system which best solves the issue of heat gain/loss and glare control. Consider fabric type or color, shade accessibility and functionality, manual/fixed/motorized when choosing solar shades.
