How to Reduce Glare in Your West Las Vegas Home Without Losing the View

One of the joys of living in West Las Vegas is the view - from desert landscapes to mountain backdrops and city lights. But the same sunlight that makes those views spectacular can also cause glare that makes certain rooms uncomfortable. The right window treatments can reduce glare while preserving your connection to the outdoors.

Why glare is a problem in desert environments

• Intense sunlight: High UV levels and bright, direct light can make it hard to relax or work in certain rooms.
   
• Reflected light: Nearby buildings, pools, and hardscape surfaces can bounce light into your home.
   
• Screen glare: Direct sunlight makes it difficult to see TVs, monitors, and mobile devices clearly.
   

Best solutions for glare reduction without blocking the view

1. Solar shades
Made from woven fabrics that filter sunlight and UV rays while allowing you to see outside. Available in different openness levels (1%, 3%, 5%) to control how much light comes through.

2. Sheer shades
Combine soft fabric vanes with sheer panels, letting you tilt to control glare and privacy.

3. Light-filtering roller shades
Diffuse sunlight to reduce harshness without fully darkening the room.

4. Layered shades
Alternate bands of sheer and opaque fabric for adjustable glare control.

How openness factor impacts performance

A lower openness percentage (like 1% or 3%) will block more light and glare but still allow a view, while higher openness (like 5% or 10%) lets in more light and offers a clearer view.

UV protection benefits

In addition to glare control, these treatments can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting floors, art, and furniture from fading over time.

Where to use glare-reducing blinds in your home

• Living rooms and entertainment areas: Keep the view while watching TV comfortably.
   
• Home offices: Reduce eye strain without feeling closed in.
   
• Dining areas with large windows: Enjoy mealtime with a softer, filtered light.
