Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades

designer solar shades size and specs

Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades are versatile enough for small, single windows and wide sets of glass.

  • Orientation

    Horizontal roller shade with a single or dual fabric panel.

  • Operation Style

    Fabric rolls up into a headrail for a clean, minimal profile.

  • Typical Size Range

    Often over 16’ wide and above 12' high, depending on fabric and hardware—perfect for sliding doors.

  • Mounting Options

    Inside-mount for a recessed, tailored look, or outside-mount to help reduce light gaps and cover trim or uneven openings.

  • Duolite® + Dual Roller System

    Available with Duolite® + dual roller system, which combine two fabrics on a single roller—one sheer screen fabric and a room-darkening liner.

Custom screen shades for glass walls, bay windows, and specialty shapes

Designer Solar Shades are a natural fit when you want to keep things simple but still manage light and privacy.


  • Floor-to-ceiling glass for tall and wide widths.
  • Sliding and patio doors, with low-profile headrail and smooth lift.
  • Bay, box, and corner windows, using carefully aligned headrails.


At your measurement, we’ll confirm what’s possible with specific fabrics and operating systems.

Designer solar shade opacity rating and openness values

 Opacity is rated on a numbered scale from 1 (most see through) to 4 (most room darkening). Openness Factor values refer to the size of the screen grid—the lower numbers represent smaller grids with more protection.

  • 1% Open

    99% UV protection with the most privacy.

  • 3% Open

    Noticeable views outside with strong UV control.

  • 5% Open

    Balanced for glare control and clear views.

  • 10% Open

    Lets in more light and preserves the view.
