Exterior Patio Shade Design Options
All of our Exterior Patio Shades come with heavy duty powder coated aluminum hardware for the Headbox, Side Tracks, Bottom Rail, and any spacers or extrusions. We have 5 stock colors to choose from, which work in most cases very well, but we can also create custom colors for our hardware as well. All of our aluminum hardware is backed by a manufacturer lifetime warranty.
Choose from a wide range of screen fabrics to find the perfect color and screen openness for your space. Screens are available in 80%, 95%, 97%, 99%, and we even offer fully blackout 0% screen materials. The percentage of openness dictates how much airflow will be blocked, so finding the right balance of sun control and privacy, is just as important as wind reduction. We have a wide range fabrics from Phifer and Twitchell that offer superior solutions for any porch, deck, or patio space.
Our Solar Shield Exterior Patio Shades are designed to protect your space against wind. Not all outdoor shades are created equal, and our SA Tracks are one of the things that make our shades stand out, and stand up to the harsh winds that we experience here in the Kansas City area. SA Tracks allow our screen fabrics to flex in strong winds, and also help to tighten the fabric back up when the wind dies down and there’s no pressure on the screens. Our ridged powder-coated aluminum tracks provide ample hold and strength during windy conditions, giving you peace of mind that your shades will hold up to the beating that most shades can’t. Our SA Tracks also allow the tracks to move inward when trying to lower the shade in windy conditions, preventing common wind related issues like rewraps from happening. Wind is always an important consideration when operating your Exterior Patio Shades, so please make sure you follow the recommendations given by our Install Techs.
