Keep The View, Lose The Heat And Glare
Wayland's mid-century modern and contemporary homes were designed around glass: living rooms that open to the yard, clerestory rows under the roofline, and sliders everywhere. The architecture is wonderful, and in July the heat load that comes with it is not. Shading that works with the design instead of hiding it is the answer.
Solar roller shades are our most recommended product here. From inside, they work like a fine screen: the glare is gone, colors stay true, and the view stays. On long runs we recommend motorization, so every shade sits at the same height with one button press.
For bedrooms we add room darkening options, and for the drafty original panes some of these houses still carry, cellular shades quietly cut the winter chill. All of it is measured and installed by Kevin, the owner, who has fitted every window shape Wayland can offer.
