In North and South Carolina, we can often make use of our indoor/outdoor spaces throughout the year, even in the fall and winter. When you’re looking to control the intense sunlight and the heat that it adds to your decks, patios, and sunrooms, trust in exterior motorized shades. They’re innovative, sophisticated, and amazingly effective.
You’ll find them at A Shade Above, and we can tell you this—our clients love them. Here’s why:
How Do Exterior Motorized Shades Work?
Also called external window shades, these modern window coverings protect decks, patios, porches, and balconies from insects from invading your good time, from the overhead sun, and other inclement weather. Basically, exterior motorized shades are adjustable screens installed outside. They block sunlight, provide privacy, and reduce heat indoors. You operate them remotely for convenient control—they’re easy to use and add design and comfort to any outdoor space.
Exterior motorized shades are installed on tracks and made with exterior-rated materials. We offer custom vinyl window shades, solar screen shades, and outdoor roller shades in different opacities by these manufacturers:
- Oasis® Patio Shades: are available in several styles, including manual crank or motorized operation. Oasis® 2800 Patio Shades are the brand’s original design and top-selling model.
- MagnaTrack™ Shades by Progressive: Shades are up to 30’ wide, have zipper-free technology, a patented magnet design, and a 75+ mph hurricane rating.
Exterior Motorized Shades Offer Comfort and Temperature Control
One of the most essential benefits of external window shades is their ability to improve comfort in outdoor spaces. Instead of sweltering in the heat, you’ll feel cooler and still be able to see the outdoors. There are no gaps, so the sunlight won’t peek in. The screens also keep out unwelcome guests like insects and small animals.
Energy Efficiency Benefits of Exterior Motorized Shades
Exterior motorized shades are worth the investment because they save energy. Air conditioning usage can skyrocket in NC, and these coverings block solar heat, which can lower your reliance on HVAC systems. The materials’ insulating properties can also reduce heat transfer, making your home more energy efficient.
Safety and Protection from Exterior Motorized Shades
These exterior window coverings guard your privacy and shield you from the weather. That’s a significant concern. By shielding your space from the sun, exterior motorized shades can protect your furnishings from fading. The colors and fabrics of your furniture, carpets, and artwork can last longer without frequent exposure to harmful UV rays.
Exterior Motorized Shades Have Unmatched Curb Appeal
Everyone, including potential home buyers, appreciates the design appeal of exterior motorized shades. You simply touch a button to raise and lower these shades as needed. These thoughtfully designed coverings complement any patio or porch with clean lines and different material options. They may increase the value of your home if you decide to sell.
