Schedule Your Consultation

Roller shades and solar screen shades are a stylish way to manage harsh sunlight while preserving views of Sonoma County’s outdoor surroundings. Like sunglasses for your windows, solar shades help reduce glare, limit heat gain, and protect furniture and interior finishes from damaging UV rays. Available in various fabrics, textures, colors, patterns, and openness levels, they can be customized around the light control, privacy, and design needs of each room.

Roller shades use a streamlined mechanism that rolls the fabric neatly above the window opening. Depending on the desired style, the roll can remain exposed, sit behind a fascia or cassette, or be recessed into the ceiling. Their simple profile makes roller and solar screen shades a versatile choice for Sonoma County residents seeking clean, contemporary window coverings for small rooms, large windows, or commercial spaces.

Light Filtering Options

The selected fabric and openness level determine how much light enters the room and how clearly the outside view remains visible. Light-filtering solar shades can soften direct sunlight and reduce glare while maintaining an open feel, and denser fabrics can provide greater privacy and light control.

Dual Shades

Dual shades combine a solar or light-filtering shade with a room-darkening shade in one window covering. This flexible configuration allows homeowners to switch between softened natural light and increased darkness, making it useful for bedrooms, media rooms, offices, and multipurpose spaces.

“Let me start by saying I was referred to Hartley by another vendor who couldn’t offer what I needed to fit a quite awkward space. I was extremely pleased with Hartley - not just the quality of products offered and the service, but just as important, their creativity in meeting my needs and budget. Also, their installers were very professional and neat about cleanup. Would certainly recommend them!”

“My wife & I had the entire Hartley crew come to our newly rebuilt home in Coffee Park. They installed motorized blinds for ALL the windows and installed a beautiful motorized awning shade for our back patio since it faces west… Can’t say enough great things about this company! If you need blinds or especially an outdoor awning to shade your patio, these are the folks to have to do it! Professional, responsible, clean, and they communicate very well with your needs and keep you up to date on the progress. It helped to make our new house a real home.”

“After using Hartley Window Coverings through this past year I would not go elsewhere! Their people and responses to any questions at all times are truly refreshing! Julie the sales rep went the extra mile and Mike the owner is incredibly sensitive to the customer's needs. The guys who installed were great as well and tidy. Can’t say enough about their service procedures. Give them a call for any type of window coverings inside or out!”

"We recently used Hartley Window Coverings for new window treatments in our great room and new vertical blinds in the kitchen dining area. Rachel was so helpful in guiding us through the process. When it came time for the installation Gabe, Jesus, and Chris were very neat and careful with our hardwood and tile floors... Rachel was always there when the installation was finished to make sure that we were pleased with the results. The level of customer service from everyone at Hartley is 5 star."

"Working with Maygen was delightful. During our rebuild, she came to our new home multiple times to go over the options available to us. When we finally moved in, she was on hand to help with refining our selections and getting everything installed as soon as possible... I wish all of the vendors we worked with offered the service that Hartley does. There was never any finger-pointing or discussion about any of the little issues that arose. We are extremely satisfied with the products and service provided by Hartley."

“We worked with Ann at Hartley Window Coverings on a high-end whole house remodel with an articulate and particular client. Ann navigated the selection process and was able to meet the client’s requirements professionally while communicating changes with us so we could complete the appropriate paperwork on our end. The installation of the final product was also amazing. It was an exposed application, so everything had to be perfect. The job came out perfectly, the client was happy, and we were happy. We greatly appreciate Hartley Window’s partnership.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Left aligned design elementCenter aligned design element
Are your shades available in different openness factors?
White plus sign on black background

Yes. Hartley offers roller and solar screen fabrics in different openness levels, including selections within the 1%–10% range. These options provide varying levels of light control, privacy, glare reduction, and view-through. Our design team can help you choose an appropriate fabric for each window.

What's the difference between a light and dark fabric?
White plus sign on black background

Lighter fabrics generally reflect more sunlight and create a brighter interior appearance, although they may soften the clarity of the outside view. Darker fabrics can provide clearer outward views and effective glare control, but they absorb more solar energy. The best choice depends on the window orientation, desired view, room design, and performance priorities.

What room-darkening options are available with roller shades?
White plus sign on black background

Room-darkening roller shades use denser fabrics to limit incoming light, although small light gaps may remain around the sides. Side tracks or channels may provide more complete edge coverage when the selected product and window configuration allow them.

Can your roller shades be motorized?
White plus sign on black background

Yes. Hartley offers motorized roller shades using supported systems such as Somfy and Lutron. Available controls may include a handheld remote, compatible smartphone app, or home-automation integration. The appropriate motorization option depends on the shade size, fabric, power source, and control preferences.

What are my options for housing my roller shades when not in use?
White plus sign on black background

You can choose among several housing styles based on the mounting method and desired appearance:

  • Fascia cover: An enclosure covers the roller and operating hardware above the window.
  • Niche Cover Housing: The shade rolls into a prepared ceiling recess so it remains largely out of view.
  • Exposed Roll: The rolled fabric and decorative brackets remain visible without a cover.
What are my mounting options for installing my roller shades?
White plus sign on black background

Hartley can recommend one of several mounting options based on the window and construction:

  • Surface Mounting: The shade is attached directly above or onto the window opening.
  • Recessed Mounting: The shade is installed within the window frame.
  • Pocket Mounting: The shade retracts into a custom-built pocket coordinated with the surrounding trim and construction.
