Standard Motorized Solar Shades
Control. Efficiency. Functionality. Standard Motorized Solar Shades from SWFcontract enables users to control daylight with a motorized shade system. To adjust shades based on external conditions, the climate sensors and timers are stand-alone or can be integrated into home or office automation systems. These motorized products can manage temperature, moderate heat gain/loss, and optimize natural light while reducing glare, all while keeping occupants comfortable.

Environmental Sustainability
- Several opaque and blackout fabrics are available in solar shades, providing the best possible energy efficiency and insulation.
- Boasting a shading coefficient range of .21 to .74, SWFcontract Solar Shades prevent heat gain, which conserves energy and lowers cooling costs.
- With an openness factor of 1–14%, solar shades block harmful UV rays, protecting furniture, fabrics, and interior finishes. This extends the life of furnishings and prevents them from ending up in landfills prematurely.
- To help create more healthful indoor environments, several SWFcontract solar shade fabrics are GREENGUARD certified—they have successfully met the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute’s rigorous chemical emissions standards.
- SWFcontract Solar Shades are designed, engineered, and tested to ensure a long product life. This ultimately reduces landfill waste and conserves resources.
