Great Shades for West Facing Windows

Hawaii’s homeowners cherish their west-facing windows for their beautiful sunsets and warm afternoon light. However, in the afternoon, the heat generated by west-facing windows can feel more intense due to the Earth's rotation and the sun's path.

They are a surefire win for homeowners everywhere!
