Basehor's mix of newer developments and established homes means homeowners often deal with intense afternoon sun without traditional tree shade. Our solar shades are ideal for this climate. Many Basehor residents work from home or run small businesses, making home offices susceptible to screen glare and heat buildup—solar shades solve both. The area's growing residential market includes homes with large, modern windows that let in plenty of light but create uncomfortable hot spots. We recommend solar shades in 3%, 5%, or 10% openness factors depending on your view preferences and sun exposure. For homes near the vineyard or with western exposure, these shades preserve your view while protecting furniture, artwork, and flooring from UV damage. Most Basehor homeowners see noticeable cooling in affected rooms within the first week.
