What Are Exterior Shades?
Exterior shades are durable window or patio coverings designed to block sunlight before it reaches the glass or outdoor area. Unlike interior blinds or curtains, exterior shades prevent heat from entering a building, making them one of the most effective solutions for controlling solar gain.
They are available in a variety of styles, including manual and motorized systems, with fabric options that allow different levels of light filtration and privacy.
Why Choose Exterior Shades for Your Missoula Home?
Exterior shades offer more than traditional window coverings by combining comfort, energy efficiency, and modern style in one solution. Their design offers UV protection, increased privacy, better energy efficiency, and enhanced comfort.
At Shaded Window Coverings, we partner with trusted brands like Graber, Norman Window Fashions, and Hunter Douglas to deliver high-performance cellular shades built for year-round comfort and lasting quality.
Improved Energy Efficiency
One of the biggest advantages of exterior shades is their ability to reduce indoor temperatures by blocking solar heat before it enters the building. This helps decrease the workload on air conditioning systems, potentially lowering energy bills and improving overall efficiency.
Enhanced Comfort
Exterior shades create cooler indoor environments and more enjoyable outdoor spaces by reducing glare and blocking harsh sunlight. Whether relaxing on a patio or working near a sunny window, occupants experience greater comfort throughout the day.
UV Protection
Extended exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can fade furniture, flooring, artwork, and fabrics. Exterior shades help protect interior furnishings by significantly reducing harmful UV exposure while still allowing natural light into the space.
Increased Privacy
Depending on the fabric’s openness factor, exterior shades provide daytime privacy without completely blocking the view to the outside. This makes them ideal for homes located close to neighboring properties or busy streets.
Modern Appearance
Available in numerous colors, textures, and hardware finishes, exterior shades complement both traditional and contemporary architecture. Motorized options also add convenience and a clean, streamlined appearance.
Exterior Shades Offer Modern Comfort
Exterior shades help block hot, bright sunlight from entering your home and make excellent additions to your outdoor living space, shielding you from harsh sunlight. But unlike shades made of solid material, our exterior solar shades allow you to see through them so you don’t lose your view. Here’s how they work:
- Unique woven material blocks the majority of sunlight and UV rays while small gaps in the weave allow some light and air to pass through
- These small gaps provide visibility through the shade during the day
- Shades stop direct sun from overheating your space, keeping your outdoor space cooler and more enjoyable
