The Texas Afternoon Sun Problem and How the Right Shade Solves It
The Problem: In Aggieland, the afternoon sun is relentless. It pours into your west-facing rooms, heats your home, fades your floors and furniture, and runs your AC overtime — so the room you want to enjoy becomes the one you avoid. One local business’s office used to heat up badly every afternoon until they did something about it.
The Solution: The shades we carry are chosen for exactly this. Solar shades block the sun’s heat and up to 99% of UV while preserving your view, honeycomb shades add insulation to lower your energy bill, and blackout roller shades give bedrooms a restful darkness. Roller shades are our featured top pick — and they go smart with motorization, so you can lower the tallest windows during the peak afternoon sun. Amanda measures every window precisely and matches the shade in your own light. Financing available.

Aggieland’s most popular window shades, customized to beat the Texas sun.
Roller Shades
Our Top Pick, Modern & Smart
Crisp, modern, and endlessly versatile — from sheer to solar to full blackout. Our featured top pick, and smart-motorization-ready for the tall, hard-to-reach windows Aggieland homes are known for.
Solar Shades
Block the Heat & UV, Keep the View
Solar shades block the sun’s heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters — keeping rooms cooler and stopping fading — while preserving your view. The go-to for the sunny, west-facing windows of Bryan and College Station homes.
Cellular Shades
Insulation & Energy Savings
Honeycomb construction traps insulating air against the glass — cutting the heat gain that runs up your energy bill through the long Texas cooling season. A favorite for bedrooms and west-facing rooms.
Woven Wood
Organic, Natural Texture
Bamboo, jute, and grasses bring relaxed, natural warmth to Aggieland interiors — a beautiful complement to both ranch-style and modern homes. Add a liner for privacy or room darkening.
Roman Shades
Soft, Timeless Elegance
Architectural softness for refined Aggieland homes and any room where warmth matters as much as function. Light-filtering or blackout linings, cordless and motorized options, in hundreds of designer fabrics.
Sheer Shades
Soften the Glare, Keep the View
Alternating sheer and solid vanes filter the intense Texas sun into a warm ambient glow while preserving your view at adjustable privacy — perfect for bright living and great-room windows.
Layered Shades
Also known as dual shades or zebra shades, these will provide the perfect modern look for your room.
Pleated shades
Fashionable and affordable, pleated shades are a stand-alone treatment or easily accompanied by a drapes.
