UVShield 88 Sheer Shades

Sunlight is beautiful—but its ultraviolet radiation is destructive. UVShield 88 sheer shades are engineered to block 88% of UV rays while preserving the clarity and brightness of your view. Unlike window films that darken the glass or blackout shades that eliminate light entirely, UVShield 88 works invisibly: UV inhibitors are integrated directly into the sheer polyester fibers, absorbing harmful radiation before it can reach your room. Your hardwood floors, antique rugs, leather furniture, and artwork are protected from fading, embrittlement, and discoloration. Yet from your perspective, the view remains crisp and unaltered. Available in 2-inch and 2.5-inch vane configurations, with your choice of 12 neutral colors. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with cordless, continuous cord loop, or motorized operation. See the view, not the UV.

Invisible UV Protection

Unlike tinted films or dark glass, UVShield 88 is optically clear. Its UV‑absorbing chemistry is integrated into the polyester polymer before extrusion—not applied as a surface coating. This ensures permanent protection that will not wash off, wear away, or alter the color or clarity of the sheer fabric. Your view stays bright and true.

Preserve Prized Possessions

UV radiation causes irreversible damage to interior furnishings:

  • Hardwood floors fade and develop uneven patches

  • Upholstery fabrics weaken and lose color

  • Artwork pigments shift and fade

  • Leather dries, cracks, and discolors

UVShield 88 absorbs UV before it reaches these materials, extending the life of your investments. We warrant the UV stability of our fabrics for 10 years.

Ideal for Sunrooms & Conservatories

Sunrooms are designed to celebrate daylight—but they are also the spaces most vulnerable to UV damage. UVShield 88 allows you to enjoy abundant natural light without sacrificing your furnishings. The sheer fabric softens glare while preserving the open, airy feel that defines these rooms.

Museum‑Quality Protection

UVShield 88 fabrics meet the ISO 18902:2013 standard for materials used in the storage and display of photographic and fine art prints. They are trusted by private collectors, galleries, and museums to protect valuable works from light damage. If you’ve invested in fine art, your window coverings should meet the same standards as your display cases.

Available in Multiple Configurations

UVShield 88 is offered in:

  • 2‑inch vanes — Classic proportion, versatile for most spaces

  • 2.5‑inch vanes — Wider vanes for a more panoramic view

  • Sheer panels only — Continuous fabric with no vanes for a clean, modern aesthetic

All configurations deliver the same 88% UV blockage rating.

Energy Efficiency Bonus

Beyond UV protection, UVShield 88 fabrics absorb near‑infrared radiation, reducing solar heat gain through your windows. Rooms stay cooler in summer, easing the load on air conditioning. While not a replacement for high‑performance glazing, these shades contribute meaningfully to year‑round energy efficiency.
