Thoroughly Tested Products

Solar Shield Blinds products are tested and vetted by our team before ever being offered to our clients

Every Solar Shield Blinds product has been tested in real world situations. And, every product we offer is able to be repaired if needed. This protects your investment and allows for a long life of highly functional products for your windows and outdoor patios.

Every product we install has to get through our testing first

Your window treatments have to look right and work right on installation day. They also have to keep doing it as the months and the years pass. That is the bar.

So at Solar Shield Blinds nothing goes on your windows until it has been through our own testing. That is not just a look at how good something is out of the box. It is repairability, it is long term durability, and it is the things that decide whether a product is still working in five years.

Only the ones that pass on every level are good enough for your home or business. They are also the only ones good enough to carry the full benefits of the Solar Shield Blinds Carefree Guarantee.

The Solar Shield Blinds Standard For Quality Products

How a product earns its place

In-house product evaluation

How do we know what works best? We take it apart. During evaluation we break down and examine every component, gauge reliability and durability, look for the areas of potential weakness, and make sure the thing can actually be repaired.

Products that fail in any of those areas are cut from our list of customer options. No exceptions and no exemptions.

No Exclusives

A brand-neutral approach

We don't believe in exclusive contracts with specific window treatment manufacturers. Why? Because no single provider is the best in every product category. They excel in some areas and not in others.

Our brand-neutral approach has one goal, which is providing results for you. Whoever carries the best option for your project is who we will use. Quality wins over brand name every time.

Real-world data from previous installs

Over the years we've completed thousands of projects. Often we'll check back to see how things are going a year, three years, or more down the line.

That data is invaluable, because it highlights a critical fact. Products that look great in the showroom don't always hold up over time. Any product that causes recurring issues during daily use is permanently banned from future projects.

The Red Line

No disposable systems

When installing new window treatments we frequently find older products that can't be repaired. In some cases that happens because one minor component stopped working properly.

Frankly, we think that's unacceptable. There are plenty of repairable, high-quality options available today. Nothing else should ever be used on your project, and nothing will be as long as Solar Shield Blinds is your contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. We do not sign exclusive contracts with window treatment manufacturers, because no single provider is the best in every product category. Whoever carries the best option for your project is who we will use.

We break a product down and examine every component, gauge its reliability and durability, look for the points where it is likely to fail, and check that it can be repaired. Fail any one of those and it is cut from our list of customer options.

We check back on completed installs a year, three years and more down the line. Products that look great in a showroom do not always hold up, and anything that causes recurring issues in daily use is permanently banned from future projects.

Some treatments are designed without repairability in mind, so if one minor component stops working your only option is to start over. Ease of repair is a top priority on everything we sell, and it is what lets us back the product with lifetime warranties and a 5-Year Service Guarantee.
