Overland Park's contemporary and traditional estates often feature large windows designed to showcase outdoor living spaces—including views of the Arboretum and neighborhood green spaces. The challenge: intense Kansas sun that damages interior finishes. UV-blocking solar shades are the preferred choice among Overland Park homeowners because they eliminate glare in home offices (increasingly common post-2020) while preserving the premium views residents invested in. West-facing windows in Deer Creek and Leawood South neighborhoods particularly benefit from solar shades, as afternoon heat gain directly impacts cooling efficiency. Many Overland Park homeowners use solar shades in sunrooms to protect indoor plants and maintain comfortable temperatures without closing off the room. The sophisticated appearance of solar shades also complements the upscale aesthetic that Overland Park residents expect.
