Sola Shade - Nedlands, Western Australia

Very happy with our new plantation shutters from Sola Shade. Tudor is extremely knowledgeable and great to deal with; he replied immediately to our initial enquiry, and arranged a visit within a few days to take measurements and provide a quote. Pricing was very reasonable for the quality and the service. Installation was done very carefully, with good attention to detail. The shutters are high quality, and look great - very pleased indeed with the result.

I was recommended Sola Shade by a tradie who told me that many of her clients had told her they had been very satisfied using Sola Shade. I can confirm that by saying that I was happy with all aspects of Sola Shade: the variety and quality of their products, the information provided at the shop, the flawless installation and - of course, the big one: the end result!
So I’m very happy to recommend this family business.

Have been a happy customer over many years. Our motored exterior blinds have been a game changer for our living room space and have lasted well. The only issue has been with white interior blinds which we thought you could see through however from an angle (which is where you view them from our kitchen), they are not see through at all so they box the room in. If functional living space requires blinds to be transparent from an angle as well as front on, recommend to customers that this question is specifically asked. This is not an issue with our exterior blinds.

We purchased Plantation shutters from Sola Shade.The product is amazing and the installation is perfect in every way.
An unexpected side benefit is that we now have access to full window light and breeze, previously partially obscured by vertical blinds.I would recommend Sola Shade to anyone requiring window treatments.

Tudor attended promptly to measure and quote on a large motorised retractable awning for a courtyard that gets too much western sun. Wait time from order to completion was 8 weeks. Installation was on time and fuss free with Simmo and Toby.
We are delighted with the end product; powder coating of the head box matches the wall render ,and the 90% uv blockout grey tweed fabric looks great. Matches the house interior pretty well and lets in enough light but not the heat. I'm amazed at the heat mitigating effect! Also worth the money to go with the motorised controller rather then the old style crank.
I chose SolaShade based on their work in a previous home, and on the current recommendations of friends. In turn, I am happy to recommend to others. We have noticed awnings installed by other companies nearby and to be honest, they look flimsy and poorly manufactured. The SolaShade quote you get probably won't be the cheapest, but I'd be surprised if anyone would be unhappy with the quality , effectiveness and overall look of the SolaShade product (locally manufactured too).

From start to finish an absolute pleasure, perfectly able to match our existing shutters, timeframe from order to manufacture to installation all on target. Pricing was in ballpark and really no problems with any dealings with anyone involved in the process, was really a pleasure.

Sola Shade provided us with expert advice on the best way to install a sola shade roof in our small and difficult to fit patio space - we couldn't be more impressed with the service and the product. The sola shade roof has added an extra room to our house - we can now use this space all year round. It looks great too! The friendly and helpful staff made our experience of purchasing a new shade roof for our patio so easy and enjoyable!

DONT'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AS US 10 years ago we had shutters installed by Solarshade. These shutters remain today, in as good a condition as when they were fitted. Great customer service and efficiency.

IN CONTRAST TO.....

Recently we had shutters installed by their competitor, BOARDWALK SHUTTERS. After a few months of installation these shutters developed cracks and BOARDWALK have refused to repair these under warranty - citing the cause must be water damage. Inside of our study ? With no sign of water damage anywhere else? BOARDWALK'S customer service has been almost nonexistent. Their attitude is uncompromising even arrogant. It took five days before our initial phone calls were returned and their representative just did not bother to show up for an assessment. To top it all off they wanted to charge us $398 to replace 13 blades. $250 of this was pick up and delivery from Mt Hawthorn to Balcatta!

SO A BELATED 'THANK YOU' TO SOLASHADE, 10 years on and still going strong. We know where to go next time. We certainly will not make this mistake again. Solashade may be a little bit more expensive but we have enjoyed ten years of good quality shutters as opposed to poor quality, poor service and months of hassle and arrogance from Boardwalk shutters.

Thanks again guys!
