Who We Are
A window treatment company with one mission
Tim & Denise Sanders are the founders of Solar Shield Blinds. They started the business in their hometown of Peoria, IL in 2006. At that time, Tim handled all of the sales, installs, and service calls, and Denise took care of scheduling and the administrative tasks, all while raising three young children. Those early days proved to be pivotal in building a strong foundation, one that has kept their clients first, no matter what.
Over twenty years of growth, hiring a team, and continually improving processes, they saw their mission become more and more clear every day. The mission is simple: To bring elevated comfort to more people, in more places, through genuine friendliness, innovative solutions, and by providing a YES experience.
Tim now manages the sales and installation team in his role as President, and Denise oversees the finances and human resources in her role as Director of People & Finance. Together, they have created a culture that puts the client experience at the center of everything, while also prioritizing their team culture.

How We Work
What Makes Solar Shield Blinds Different
Our Goal
Is to help you solve whatever problem you are having at your windows. Whether you need privacy, light control, heat protection, energy efficiency, or you just need to add an element of design to your window to finish your room, we have the solutions you need. You have probably picked up on the word “solutions” many times on our site, but that’s the best word to describe our focus. We want to provide our customers with the best possible solutions for their windows. In an industry that sometimes focuses more on just selling a particular product or brand, we make sure to address the issues at hand and give recommendations based on the best solutions. Don’t get me wrong, we love to sell our products, but we believe that our products should be the best solution for you and your windows. We carry many different lines of window treatments to be able to provide the exact solution for your needs.
Our Process
Is very thorough. When we meet with you during your FREE consultation we will discuss your specific needs. We will listen to your concerns and make sure we understand exactly what you’re wanting to accomplish with your window coverings. We will help educate you on what product options are available to you, and then we offer our best recommendation based off of our in depth assessment of your windows. We take time making sure you understand exactly what you are going to get, and we make sure there won’t be any surprises at the time of install. We provide a complete and exact quote on-the-spot so you can make sure we are working within your budget. This simple, yet very effective in-home service has proven to be very efficient for our clients in saving time, money, and energy not spent running from store to store. Sit back and let us handle all of the details while you get to enjoy your new window coverings!
Our Team
Is made up of excited, enthusiastic professionals who are eager to help you create the perfect plan for your windows. From our knowledgeable and caring customer service team to our in-home Design Specialists our goal is to provide you with a pleasant experience that you will be thrilled with, and quality products that you will love for many years to come.
Our Product
Warranties, our service guarantee, and our dedication to follow up service is one of the things that sets us apart from the rest. First, we only partner with suppliers and manufacturers that offer high coverage warranties on their products. Most have limited lifetime warranties, but they all have at least 7 years on basic components and cords. Second, we offer a 5 year Solar Shield Service Guarantee on any product we sell and install. If you have any questions or problems within five years of purchasing anything from us, you just call or email our office and they will set up an appointment for one of our Install Techs to come out and inspect your products. We believe in follow up service so much that we offer this guarantee to all of our Solar Shield customers at no additional charge! We’re here for you and your windows for the long haul. You can buy with confidence when you purchase any Solar Shield product.
