Sunscreen Roller Shades in Orem
Cut Glare, Keep Your View, Enjoy More Comfortable Rooms
Bright Utah sunshine and high-elevation light can be beautiful, but it can also bounce off your TV, create intense glare on computer screens, overheat south- and west-facing rooms, or fade the flooring and furniture you invested in. In Orem, where clear skies and strong seasonal sun are common year-round, many homeowners get tired of closing heavy curtains just to stay comfortable. Custom sunscreen roller shades offer softer light, better temperature control, and clear outdoor views without making your space feel closed off.
At Bumble Bee Blinds of Utah Valley, we help homeowners and businesses throughout Orem design and install custom sunscreen shades that fit their windows, spaces, and daily routines. We come to you for a free consultation, bring product samples, take precise measurements, and handle professional installation so your new shades look clean and operate smoothly from day one.

Comfort, Light & Views With Custom Sunscreen Shades
Sunscreen shades are designed to filter sunlight rather than block it completely. Their woven fabrics soften harsh rays, helping reduce glare while still allowing natural light to fill the room. During the day, you can often maintain clear outward visibility, especially when the right openness level and color are selected. This keeps your rooms bright and visually connected to the outdoors, even with Orem’s strong high-altitude sunlight.
These shades also help protect your interiors from UV exposure. In Utah’s clear climate, prolonged sun exposure can cause fading in hardwood floors, area rugs, artwork, and upholstered furniture. By filtering a large portion of UV rays, sunscreen shades help preserve the look and longevity of the finishes and furnishings you’ve chosen for your home or commercial space.
Glare control is another major benefit. Many customers contact us because the afternoon sun makes it difficult to work on computers, watch television, or enjoy living spaces comfortably. By carefully selecting fabrics and openness levels, our team focuses on balancing screen comfort with the open, airy feeling you want in each room. The result is a space that is easier on your eyes while still feeling welcoming.
Our Comprehensive Installation Process
When you know what to expect, it becomes easier to move forward with your window treatment project. Our sunscreen shades installation process is designed to be straightforward and stress-free, with our team handling every detail from start to finish.
Step 1: Free In-Home or On-Site Consultation
The process begins with a free on-site consultation at your home or business. During this visit, we discuss how sunlight moves through each room throughout the day, where glare or heat buildup is most noticeable, and how you want each space to feel. We bring fabric swatches and product samples so you can view colors and textures in your own lighting conditions, which can be very different from showroom lighting.
Step 2: Precise Measuring & Product Selection
Once we understand your goals, we take precise measurements of every window that will receive a shade. Accurate measurements are essential for clean lines and smooth operation, so our team uses professional tools and carefully checks each opening. We then help you finalize product details such as fabric type, openness level, color, mounting style, and operating system.
Step 3: Custom Fabrication & Professional Installation
After your order is placed, your custom sunscreen shades are fabricated to the exact specifications we confirmed together. When your shades are ready, we schedule a professional installation at a time that works for you. Our installers handle removing old window treatments if needed, installing hardware, mounting the shades, and testing operation. We review everything with you, answer any questions, and leave your space clean so you can enjoy your new shades immediately.
Choosing the Right Option for Each Room
Not every room needs the same level of light control, privacy, or style. That is why we take time to help you choose sunscreen shades that match how you actually use each space. A home office with constant computer use may require stronger glare control, while a living room with large windows may focus more on preserving views of the surrounding landscape. Street-facing rooms may need added daytime privacy, while upper-level rooms often prioritize light and openness.
Openness Levels & Light Control
One of the most important decisions is the openness level, which refers to how tightly the fabric is woven. Lower openness fabrics block more sunlight and provide increased daytime privacy but slightly reduce outward visibility. Higher openness fabrics allow more natural light and clearer views, making them ideal for rooms where you want to enjoy the outdoors while still minimizing harsh glare. We explain these differences clearly and show real samples at your windows so you can see how each option performs.
Fabric Colors & Room Aesthetics
Fabric color also plays a role in performance. Lighter colors can help reflect sunlight and keep rooms feeling cooler during warmer months, while darker colors often provide sharper outward views and improved glare reduction for screens. We help you consider wall colors, flooring, cabinetry, and furniture so your shades look cohesive and intentional within the space.
Operating Systems & Everyday Use
Choosing the right operating system is another key part of the process. Some homeowners prefer classic continuous loop chains, while others choose cordless designs for a cleaner look or added safety. Motorized options are also popular for large windows or hard-to-reach areas, offering convenient control with the touch of a button. Our team explains how each system works so your sunscreen shades integrate seamlessly into your daily routine.
