Exterior Solar Screen Shades

Solar shades can improve energy performance and contribute LEED certification points.

• Contribute to the number of LEED points a project earns in pursuit of certification
• Maximize energy performance
• Reduce cooling-energy use
• Improve the appearance of the buildings and the comfort of building occupants

Tired of moving your chair to follow the shade cast by a post or column? Going inside when the weather turns against you? Create a retractable “porch enclosure.”

• Very effective at blocking the UV
• Install under a second-story deck with patio underneath
• Perfect as garage door enclosures
• Enclose your porch or patio at the touch of a button
• Enclose a pavilion or pergola
• Turn your outdoor covered area into a comfortable, protected space

Have a covered patio but don’t get to use it as much as you’d like?  A patio shade can turn that covered patio into a screened-in room, giving you protection but still allowing the view. There are different fabrics available to suit the need (blocking bugs, rain, wind, sun, etc.)

• Heat and glare protection – block up to 95% of the sun but retain your view!
• Insect protection – make your space more enjoyable and make your outdoor dining more comfortable by keeping the bugs out!
• Privacy – make your space less public with a light-filtering or blocking fabric sunshade

Shade fabrics can dramatically improve the quality of life in a room they are installed onto.

• Block the sun before it passes through glass and transfers light into heat energy
• Avoid unbearable sun or heat certain times of the day
• Protect your hardwood floors, furniture upholstery, and window treatments

If you own a pergola, chances are you’ve realized that, although they are beautiful, they don’t create the shade or shelter you were expecting.

• Solar shades can be installed around the perimeter of your pergola or gazebo to close it in
• Install a shade for the top of your pergola
• Install a retractable pergola

Increase the privacy of your home and create a comfortable and beautiful living environment with this custom made shading system.

• Motorized shades are designed to handle large or multiple windows
• Get complete control over your rooms’ lighting and privacy
• Includes a blackout option, allowing you to control your entertainment room by eliminating the glare of the sun

Enclose your deck, patio or balcony with exterior solar screen shades.
