Make your patio livable all summer
Exterior shades cut heat, glare, and UV before they reach your home — turning a too-bright patio or sunroom into usable space, with motorized control at the touch of a button.
Who it's best for
- Covered patios, decks, and pergolas that get too hot to use
- Sunrooms and west-facing rooms with intense afternoon glare
- Homeowners who want indoor-outdoor living without the heat
Your options, in plain terms
Motorized exterior screens
Drop a screen to block sun and wind, then raise it out of sight. Motorized control means you adjust the whole patio in seconds.
Heat & UV reduction
Exterior shades stop solar heat outside the glass, so they protect furniture and flooring and keep adjoining rooms cooler.
Worth thinking through
Design considerations
How exposed is the space?
We'll assess sun direction, wind, and mounting before recommending an opacity and drop height that fits your patio.
