Blindsmax Ultra Premium Solar Shades – Blocks 97% of Light

Elegant Light Control with Superior UV and Heat Reduction


PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Proudly made under the Hunter Douglas family of brands, Blindsmax Ultra™ is our top-tier collection of performance solar shades. Engineered for a perfect balance of light management and style, these Premium Solar Shades with a 3% openness factor block approximately 97% of incoming light—making them an ideal choice for everyday comfort and elegance.

These shades reduce glare and UV damage while preserving outward views and maintaining a naturally lit environment. With free shipping, a Lifetime Warranty, and 60 fabric options, these made-to-order shades bring luxury and functionality to any room.


WHY CHOOSE BLINDSMAX ULTRA PREMIUM SOLAR SHADES?

Blocks 97% of Light - The 3% openness weave filters harsh light while allowing soft, diffused daylight to enter your space.

Why 97% Light Blocking Matters - Compared to 5% or 10% openness, this tighter weave helps significantly reduce UV rays and glare while maintaining outdoor visibility.

Energy Efficient - Minimizes solar heat gain to keep interiors comfortable and potentially reduce cooling costs.

Sophisticated, Modern Aesthetic - Choose from 60 designer fabrics in subtle textures and modern neutrals.

Preserves the View with a Natural Glow - Maintain your view outside while filtering sunlight and UV rays.

Custom Crafted for Precision Fit - Each shade is made to your exact dimensions for a tailored installation.

Inside mount blinds and shades are mounted inside the window frame. This option provides a clean, custom look and is considered the most popular choice. This is a great option if you do not wish to cover the window moldings.

Outside mounted blinds and shades are mounted outside the window, on your wall or molding. This option can make a window appear larger. It is also a solution if the window does not meet the depth requirement for an inside mount

Measuring: Inside Mount

  • Always measure each window you plan to cover. Windows of different sizes can appear deceptively similar.
  • Measure in 3 locations for width and height. Use the smallest measurement (if they are not all the same) rounding down to the nearest 1/8 in.
  • Do not make any deductions, allowances or additions.
  • Check for squareness by measuring on diagonals.
  • Note: If diagonal measurement differs by more than 1/8 in., choose outside mount instead.
  1. STEP 1 – Find the width: Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" between the inside surfaces of window frame in three places (across the top, across the middle, and across the bottom – see image). Use the narrowest measurement when ordering the width. Do not make any additional width deductions – the factory will make the appropriate deductions to ensure proper fitting.
  2. STEP 2 – Find the height: Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" from inside surface at top of window to the window sill in three places (on the left, middle, and right – see image). Use the longest measurement when ordering the height. If you prefer blind not to touch sill, deduct 1/4". If there is no sill, measure to the point where blind is to reach.

Measuring: Outside Mount

  • Always measure each window you plan to cover. Windows of different sizes can appear deceptively similar.
  • Use a steel / metal tape measure for accuracy.
  • Record measurements to the nearest 1/8" of an inch. Make sure you clearly indicate width from the height. It's very easy to accidentally transpose measurements.
  • Measure the height to the outer edges of the molding in 3 places (your molding is part of the measurement). If you have a sill, measure from the top of the sill to the top of the molding. Measure the window height in 3 places. Record the longest measurement rounding up to the nearest 1/8 in.
  • Do not take any deductions, allowances or additions.
  1. STEP 1 – Find the width: Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" between the outermost points where the blind is to be placed. For optimum light control, this measurement should extend at least 3/4" beyond the window opening on each side (or 1 1/2" for the entire width)
  2. STEP 2 – Find the height: Measure exact distance to the nearest 1/8" from where top of blind will be located to the top of the window sill. If there is no sill, or if blind is to overlap the window frame, measure to the point where the blind is to reach.
