Many people assume glare is a summer problem, but winter sun is actually worse for screen visibility. The sun sits much lower in the sky during winter months, sending light directly into windows at eye level rather than from overhead. This low-angle light hits screens at the worst possible angle, creating glare that persists for hours rather than minutes. In northern latitudes like Canada, winter sun angles can be as low as 15-20 degrees, meaning sunlight penetrates deep into rooms that are shaded in summer. Anti-glare solar shades are especially valuable in winter because they can be lowered to block this low-angle light without darkening the room entirely. A 5% openness shade will reduce winter glare by 90% while maintaining the natural daylight that combats seasonal mood changes. Blinds Concept ships solar shades across Canada, with options sized specifically for the tall, narrow windows common in Canadian homes.
