EXTERIOR SOLAR SHADES
Transparent Roller Shades for exterior use are more energy efficient than interior solar shades. Because they block the sun's rays before they have a chance to enter and convert to heat, they can save up to 60% in air conditioning costs. Designed to reduce heat transfer, these fabrics also control blinding glare and reduce fade. Transparent shades provide daytime privacy during daylight hours with full vision outwards. Shades are custom manufactured to fit your exact dimensions. Made of the highest quality materials they are great for patios, patio doors, decks, porches, windows and sliding glass doors. Darkest colors stop heat 10% more than lightest colors. Roll your mouse over the links below for more information.
To lock the shade to the roller, a ten inch piece of vinyl covered fiberglass is secured to the top of the shade material for a weatherproof adhesive bond. This bond is further anchored with spring loaded clips. Dampness and heat will not affect the adhesion. All exterior shades are constructed with an aluminum weight bar at the bottom. This bar is available in white, black, bronze or anodized and is secured to the welded bottom weight pocket. On the left and right hand sides of this bottom bar are tie down loops, which are used to tie down the shade either to hooks or a Bungee cord. An optional cable system on each side of the shade helps stabilize the shade movement and can also serve as a tie down for motorized shades. Optional side channels are offered in white, bronze, black or anodized. The 2 1/2" width is recommended. Fascias in matching colors are available to hide the roller. A reverse roll to hide the roller is offered at no charge. Available Motorization Options - The Smart Motor and the 110 Volt Hardwired Motor are the only two motors that are rated for exterior use.
