Why Fairway Homeowners Choose UV-Blocking Solar Shades Fairway's established properties feature large windows designed to showcase manicured landscapes and country club views—exactly what solar shades are engineered to preserve. The area's west and south-facing homes experience significant afternoon heat gain, making solar shades particularly valuable for controlling energy costs in Kansas's hot summers. Fairway residents appreciate the balance solar shades provide: they block 90-99% of UV rays that fade expensive furnishings and artwork, while maintaining the transparency that makes these premium homes feel open and connected to their surroundings. Many Fairway homeowners layer solar shades with other treatments for flexibility, using them as their primary sun control while adding roller shades or drapery for evening privacy.
