Kansas City homeowners face unique sun challenges depending on their neighborhood. Homes with western exposures in the Crossroads and south-facing windows throughout the metro area experience intense afternoon heat and glare. Solar shades are particularly popular in home offices where remote workers need to eliminate screen glare without closing out natural light—a critical concern during Kansas City's shorter winter days. The humidity and heat cycles common to the region accelerate fading of furniture and flooring, making UV protection essential. Our solar shade selection includes multiple openness factors (1%, 3%, 5%, 10%), allowing homeowners to customize the balance between light, view, and heat rejection based on their specific room orientation and needs.
