● Sunroom Shades and Sunlight Installation
Sunroom Shades and Sunlight Installation Milwaukee
Control light, block UV, and extend usable hours in your Milwaukee sunroom. Custom Sunshades for daytime comfort. Sunlight Illuminated Valance for evenings. Both installed by our own crew.
Your Sunroom Should Be Comfortable at Every Hour
Sunrooms without proper shades, especially south or west-facing ones in Milwaukee, become uncomfortably hot, glare-filled, and damaging to furniture from UV rays by noon. The space also loses appeal after sunset without adequate lighting. Outdoor Oasis, Milwaukee’s authorized Sunspace dealer, solves this with two products: Sunspace Sunshades, custom-fit solar shades that block UV, reduce glare, and diffuse light while preserving the view; and the Sunlight Illuminated Valance, a 12-volt LED system providing warm, ambient light after dark. We measure, supply, and install every system for new or existing sunrooms with our own trained crew.

Sunspace Sunshades
Sunspace Sunshades are custom-engineered solar shades, not blackout blinds, designed to filter sunlight for your sunroom. They soften light, reduce UV damage to furnishings, and keep the room comfortable during bright hours. Available in 3% or 5% openness factors, you control the light. The 3% option offers greater UV/glare reduction and privacy. The 5% option is brighter while still cutting harsh glare. Both options are GREENGUARD Gold certified for air quality.
Features and Benefits
- Custom-fit to your Sunspace sunroom windows for a clean, precise installation with no gaps or awkward sizing
- Available in 3% or 5% openness factor for your preferred level of light filtering and privacy
- Blocks harmful UV rays that fade furniture, flooring, and soft furnishings over time
- Reduces glare on screens, televisions, and work surfaces, making the space functional for media rooms and home offices
- Diffuses direct sunlight into a soft, even ambient light rather than blocking the view entirely
- GREENGUARD Gold certified for indoor air quality, confirming the product meets strict chemical emission standards for enclosed living spaces
- Easy to raise and lower for instant adjustment as the sun angle changes throughout the day
- Simple, effective, and economical compared to custom interior window treatments or mechanical shading systems
- When ordered with a new sunroom, Sunshades are custom-sized, delivered alongside the sunroom, and installed by factory professionals

Sunspace Sunlight Illuminated Valance
Sunrooms become dark once daylight fades (around 8 p.m. in June and 4:30 p.m. in December in Milwaukee). The Sunspace Sunlight Illuminated Valance solves this with a custom-fit, 12-volt LED system. The cassette-based lighting produces 3200K light, similar to natural sunlight’s warmth, without the heat or energy consumption of traditional bulbs. The indirect light provides an even, ambient glow, perfect for evening entertaining or extended use. It attaches to standard switches or magnetic dimmers for brightness control.
Features and Benefits
- 12-volt LED system delivers energy-efficient lighting at a fraction of the operating cost of fluorescent or incandescent alternatives
- 3200K color temperature matches the warmth of natural sunlight, creating a comfortable ambient light quality that is never harsh or clinical
- Indirect illumination design distributes light evenly throughout the sunroom without creating glare or hot spots
- Cassette system design makes the LEDs extremely easy to service if ever needed, with no complex wiring or custom fixture work required
- Custom-fit to any sunroom size or configuration, ensuring clean lines and a finished look that integrates with your sunroom’s existing frame
- Attaches to standard switches or magnetic dimmers for adjustable brightness control suited to any occasion or time of day
- Extends the usable hours of your Milwaukee sunroom well past sunset throughout every season

● Comparison
Sunshades vs. Sunlight Illuminated Valance
These two systems solve different but complementary problems. Many sunroom owners benefit from installing both:
| Feature | Sunspace Sunshades | Sunlight Illuminated Valance |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Daytime UV blocking, glare reduction, light filtering | Evening and low-light ambient illumination |
| When it works | During daylight hours | After dark, on cloudy days, or in low-light |
| UV protection | Yes, blocks damaging UV rays | Not applicable |
| Glare reduction | Yes, 3% or 5% openness filter | N/A, indirect light produces no glare |
| Light quality | Diffused, filtered natural light | Warm 3200K indirect LED glow |
| Privacy | Yes, particularly at 3% openness | No, illumination only |
| GREENGUARD Gold | Yes | Not specified |
| Control method | Manual raise and lower | Standard switch or magnetic dimmer |
| Color options | 13 fabric color combinations | 5 aluminum frame colors |
| Can be paired? | Yes, ideal daytime/evening combination | Yes, pairs directly with Sunshades |
| Best for | South/West sunrooms, media rooms, and studies | Evening use, year-round comfort extension |
The most effective setup for a sunroom combines both products. Sunshades handle the hours when the sun is at its most intense, and the Sunlight Illuminated Valance takes over once the sun drops below the horizon. Together, they make your sunroom genuinely comfortable and usable from morning through evening in every season.
If your project also includes a new sunroom installation or a screen room, Outdoor Oasis can coordinate shades and lighting as part of the same installation scope.
Why Your Sunroom Needs Both UV Protection
and Evening Lighting
Most homeowners plan for the sunroom itself, but not for the accessories that make it livable at every hour. A sunroom without shade control is a room with a glare problem. A sunroom without lighting is a room that goes dark by 5 p.m. in October and sits unused for half of every day in winter.
The combination of Sunspace Sunshades and the Sunlight Illuminated Valance directly addresses both gaps in a way that generic window treatments and clip-on light fixtures simply cannot. These products are designed and sized specifically for Sunspace sunroom systems, which means the fit, the finish, and the integration are clean and intentional rather than improvised. For Milwaukee homeowners who use their sunroom as a media room, home office, playroom, or primary family gathering space, investing in proper shade and lighting control is not an optional upgrade. It is what separates a room you use every day from one you avoid for half the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sunspace Sunshades are custom-fit solar shades designed specifically for Sunspace sunroom windows. They are available in 3% or 5% openness factors, which control how much light and UV passes through the fabric. Both options block damaging UV rays, diffuse direct sunlight, and are easy to raise and lower manually throughout the day.
The openness factor refers to how tightly the shade fabric is woven and how much light passes through it. A 3% openness factor blocks more UV and glare while providing more privacy from the outside. A 5% openness factor allows slightly more natural light through while still filtering harsh direct sun. For south and west-facing Milwaukee sunrooms with intense afternoon sun, the 3% option is typically the stronger choice.
Yes. Sunspace Sunshades carry GREENGUARD Gold certification, confirming the product meets strict chemical emission standards for indoor air quality. This is particularly relevant for sunrooms used as family rooms, children’s play spaces, or home offices, where air quality in an enclosed space matters.
The Sunlight Illuminated Valance is a cassette-based 12-volt LED lighting system custom-fit to your sunroom. It produces light at 3200K, the same warmth as natural sunlight, without the harshness of fluorescent or incandescent fixtures. Because the light is indirect and diffused, it fills the space evenly without glare or harsh shadows. It connects to standard switches or magnetic dimmers for complete brightness control.
Yes, and this is the most popular combination for Milwaukee sunrooms. The Sunshades handle daytime light control and UV blocking during peak sun hours. The Sunlight Illuminated Valance provides warm ambient evening lighting once the sun drops. Together, they extend the comfortable, usable hours of your sunroom from morning through late evening in every season.
Pricing depends on the number of windows, the size of your sunroom, and the product configuration you choose. We provide a free, detailed, itemized quote after your in-home consultation. There are no surprise charges and no estimates that change after the fact.
Yes. Sunshades can be installed in both new and existing Sunspace sunrooms. For existing sunrooms, Outdoor Oasis will measure your windows during the free consultation and order custom-fit shades accordingly. We handle the measurement and installation, so there is no guesswork on your end.
Sunshades are available in 13 fabric color combinations: Bright White, White Linen, Sable Shale, Midnight Tan-stone, White White-pearl, White Grey, Sable Ash-pearl, Ash Tan-stone, Midnight Magnetic-stone, Black Pearl, Black Black, Black Copper, and White Sand. Your Outdoor Oasis designer will bring samples to your consultation.
The valance frame is available in five standard aluminum colors: White, Driftwood, Bronze, Black, and Grey. These match the standard Sunspace aluminum frame palette used across sunroom, railing, and pergola systems for straightforward coordination with your existing installation.
Most installations are completed in a single day once the custom-sized products have been received. Lead time after consultation and order placement varies by product and season. Your Outdoor Oasis consultant will confirm the current production and delivery timeline during the free consultation.
Yes. By blocking direct UV rays and diffusing the intensity of sunlight entering the space, Sunshades reduce the amount of radiant heat that builds up inside your sunroom during peak sun hours. This is particularly meaningful for Milwaukee sunrooms in July and August, where afternoon sun on a south or west-facing enclosure can raise interior temperatures significantly without any shade control in place.
