Block the Heat and UV — Without Losing the View
Venice sees extreme UV, 250+ sunny days a year, and a cooling season that runs most of the year. If your windows aren’t protected, the sun fades your furnishings and you’re paying to air-condition against it constantly. Solar shades are the answer — and one of our most popular products. They act like sunglasses for your windows, blocking the sun’s heat and up to 99% of harmful UV while preserving your outward view, so you keep the Gulf and lanai views you love.
Ideal for sun-drenched, view-facing rooms, lanai windows, and home offices where glare is a problem. Choose your openness factor to balance heat control against view, and upgrade to motorized for automatic afternoon glare control. William and Sinead Runyon match the weave in your own Florida light and install to a flawless fit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Shades in Venice
Why are solar shades so popular in Venice?
Venice has extreme UV and 250+ sunny days a year. Solar shades block the sun’s heat and up to 99% of UV while preserving your view, cutting cooling costs and protecting interiors from fading. They’re ideal for view-facing and lanai windows.
Will I still be able to see out and keep my view?
Yes — that’s the point of a solar shade. It preserves your outward Gulf and lanai views while blocking heat and glare. A lower openness factor (1-3%) gives more heat and glare control; a higher one (5-10%) keeps an even clearer view.
We match the openness to each window’s exposure and view.
