Different Weaves for Different Needs

Solar shades come in four openness levels. The tighter the weave, the more UV and glare it blocks, and the less you can see through. Pick the right openness for your window direction and privacy needs.

Densest weave. Maximum UV and glare blocking. Minimal visibility through the shade. Best for extreme west-facing exposure or spaces where privacy matters most. You lose the view but gain maximum protection.

Still very tight. Strong UV and glare reduction. You can see outside, but it's not crystal clear. Good balance of protection and view for most west-facing windows.

Lighter weave. Blocks UV and glare noticeably but lets more view and light through. Works on east or southeast-facing windows where the sun angle is less intense.

Most see-through option. Softest UV reduction. Best for north-facing windows or spaces where preserving maximum light is the priority.

Why Choose Solar Shades

Utah sun is brutal on hardwood floors, furniture, and upholstery. UV fades color and bleaches wood. And if the glare's too bright to see through, what good is the view?

Solar shades block UV and cut glare without darkening the room. You keep the view, you just lose the burn.

On a west-facing window between 1 and 5 pm in summer, they're the difference between a livable room and one no one sits in.

Choosing the Right Openness for Your Room

How a room is used changes the right shade. A west-facing bedroom needs something different from a west-facing living room, and a Wasatch view is worth more than a view of a neighbor's fence.

At your consultation, Ashley walks you through the trade-offs: a lighter weave keeps the mountain view, a darker weave handles afternoon heat. You make the call.

All solar shades can be motorized with Control 4 automation. Set them to close at peak sun and open as the evening cools, comfort and protection on a schedule.

Guided by Ashley, Installed By Us

West Shade Co is not a big-box installation service. Ashley Ivie founded this company in 2020 after 20 years of residential interior design because she kept watching clients get the wrong window coverings (wrong scale, wrong material, wrong function) from people who were selling products instead of solving design problems.

Every project starts with a free in-home consultation. Ashley brings samples to you. She measures every window herself. The shades are ordered to your exact specifications and installed by our team from start to finish. We carry Alta and Graber, two of the best shade manufacturers in the industry, and offer a Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty on all products.

We serve South Jordan, Draper, Sandy, West Jordan, Riverton, Herriman, and surrounding areas in Salt Lake County.
