The Shade Store Launches the Sunbrella Solar Collection

Best-in-class performance fabrics now available in solar shades

The Shade Store, a leading resource for premium custom window treatments, announces the launch of an exclusive collection of solar fabrics by Sunbrella. The Sunbrella Solar Collection is a new line of solar shades which offers UV protection, fade prevention and glare reduction. It has been created with high-performance Sunbrella fabrics that are stain resistant and easy to clean, making them practical for any room or space. 

“This new collection by Sunbrella will be of interest to homeowners and designers alike,” said Ian Gibbs, Chief Creative Officer of The Shade Store. “Created with tactile materials to give the shade a highly textured look, the high-performance Sunbrella materials add softness and warmth to a sleek and modern shade. The Sunbrella Solar Collection continues to merge high-end performance with the lifestyle needs of our customers.” 

The collection of high-performance fabrics will be available in a range of versatile neutrals, including white, oatmeal, ash, grey and slate. Solar shades offer different levels of opacity and light filtering, ranging from one percent to 10 percent allowing users to further customize the level of privacy and UV protection. Each color option can be paired with a choice of six decorative brackets and nine bottom bar colors for the perfect modern look. 

The shades will be offered with The Shade Store’s state-of-the-art motorization capabilities. Available with powerful yet quiet motors, both battery and plug-in options, shades can be controlled by both smartphone and smart home systems. 

With the neutral palette and a range of transparencies, the collection maximizes versatility in both commercial and residential settings alike. The Sunbrella Solar Collection is the third collaboration with The Shade Store. It joins the Ventana Collection, a line of heavyweight linens and sheers for drapery and Romans, and the iconic patterns of Pendleton by Sunbrella. 

“We are excited to partner with The Shade Store on this new collection. We are able to expand the Sunbrella offering from Roman shades and drapery to include the popular solar shade category,” says Allen Gant III, director of window market for Sunbrella. “Combining our expertise with The Shade Store, we were able to merge durability, performance and style into a sleek and modern solar shade that’s ideal for both residential and commercial spaces.”
