Our Shade Products
Save Energy!


EXTERIOR SOLAR SHADES
Significantly Reduce Energy Bills



Weathershield Buckwheat 10% Openness
with bronze chains and bronze bottom bars.

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.

Methods to Operate Shades

RETRACT EXTERIOR SHADES IN WINDY CONDITIONS


Weathershield Buckwheat 10% Openness
Provide Daytime Privacy

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.

Widest Shade is 144".

AFFORDABLE WEATHERSHIELD EXTERIOR TRANSPARENT SHADES

Weathershield Shades are most affordable. They are constructed from TEXTILENE®, which is the #1 exterior screening fabric on the market today in durability and performance. TEXTILENE® is woven from strong PVC coated non–stretch polyester. It is flame, fade and mildew resistant. It remains stable under hot or cold temperatures and is engineered to withstand years of outdoor use. It stops the sun’s heat before it strikes your windows keeping your home or patio cooler. It is a durable alternative to insect screen. It even stops golf balls.

Natte's fiberglass fabrics are coated with PVC Plastisol fibers and are the premier product for solar protection. Ranging in openness from 9-14%, they are much more resistant to the elements. Glass fibers provide excellent dimensional stability and when combined with Plastisol insure longevity, UV stability, resistance to tough weather conditions (heat and cold) and chemical agents. The Plastisol coating at 1/100th of a millimeter, also insures the perfect regularity of the fiber and guarantees both transparency and flatness of the fabric when installed.
