Alta Solar Roller Shades
Brighten your rooms with a calm, filtered view. Alta solar shades soften harsh sun while keeping your connection to the outdoors, then layer perfectly with drapery for evening privacy and total comfort.
Soften the view and glare
Enjoy a comfortable, sun-drenched room without the intense heat or glare. Screen fabrics invite soft, natural light in, letting you relax by the window while keeping the outdoors beautifully visible.
Layer for private moments
Solar mesh invites in the day but lets you unwind when evening falls. Pair your shades with drapery or blackout layers to ensure your home stays private and peaceful after dark.

Beauty in the small details.
We ensure your shades fit precisely within your window or against your wall, balancing the look of your trim with the performance you need for a comfortable, bright home.
Choosing your mounting style
An inside mount offers a clean, architectural look within the frame. An outside mount can provide more coverage and overlap, which helps reduce light gaps and adds to the shade's presence.
Understanding light at the edges
While our fabrics block direct sun, remember that light may travel around the edges of any shade. If you need total darkness, ask us about light-blocking accessories and additional window layers.
Beautifully paired with drapery
Drapery adds a lovely softness to a roller shade, creating a complete, layered look. We make custom drapes in our Edmonton workroom that fit seamlessly alongside your shades for true comfort.
Compare the optionsChoose your solar and automation controls.
Your Alta solar rollers offer several operating methods to suit your daily needs. Carefully compare the specific control options and fabric compatibility before final ordering decisions.
PowerWand functionality
PowerWand brings powered control to compatible Alta rollers without a smart-home connection. Prefer another way to operate your shade?
Ask us about Omni and other controls that suit your windows and daily routine.
Connected automation choices
For integrated home systems, compare the approved BLISS or Somfy equipment. Include all necessary controls and accessories.
These connected solutions are distinct from local wands and require specific installation planning considerations.
Safety and hardware
For a classic look, our Canadian rollers offer the SafeTGuard shroud. We help you choose a beautiful, safe configuration that works for your room, your windows, and your family.
Frequently asked
Are solar shades different from rollers?
Solar simply describes the fabric screen used on our roller systems. We pair your chosen solar material with the perfect roller hardware to ensure it works beautifully in your unique home.
Will these give me night privacy?
Solar mesh is for daylight glare control. To ensure your home stays private after dark, we recommend pairing your screens with drapery or a secondary blackout shade.
How do I pick the right fabric?
It depends on your room's light. We help you compare samples in your own windows, looking at how the colour and weave interact with your home's unique daylight and afternoon sun.
Can I use power controls?
Yes, PowerWand is a fantastic option for easy, local control. We will confirm your fabric and shade size to ensure it is the right match for your windows.
What is regular versus reverse roll?
The roll direction determines how the fabric meets the tube and window frame. We recommend the best configuration to fit your handle and trim, ensuring a beautiful, clean finish.
Do these replace blackout curtains?
They serve different needs. Solar screens soften bright days, while blackout curtains are better for deep sleep. We can help you layer both if you need day-to-night flexibility.
Can I match my top and bottom?
Choose the look that suits your home best. We help you pair the right headrail and bottom finish with your chosen Alta fabric to ensure a clean, seamless fit for every window.
What do you need for a quote?
Bring your window measurements, a few photos and a note about when the room gets the most sun. We will use these details to build a complete, accurate project quote.
