Arizona Shutter Company’s exterior shades, also known as solar screens or outdoor blinds, are specially designed for alfresco entertaining areas such as patios, pergolas, verandas, and balconies. These premium outdoor roller shades offer privacy and protection from the sun, wind, rain, and insects all year round.
Our exterior window shades serve as a sleek, secure, and durable alternative to traditional awnings and outdoor roller shutters. Your custom-designed system can be made in widths of up to 23 feet or drops up to 16.4 feet, offering you an external solution to fit almost any area.
Whether you’re looking for window shades outside your home’s windows or comprehensive exterior window blind solutions for your entire outdoor living area, Arizona Shutter Company provides the perfect shading solution for every application. By installing exterior shades on the outside of your windows or on your patio, you offer a range of benefits that interior window treatments simply cannot match. These innovative shading solutions work by managing sunlight, heat, and privacy before these elements ever reach the interior of your home.
One of the most significant benefits of exterior shades is their exceptional energy efficiency. Unlike interior window treatments that allow heat to enter through the glass before attempting to block it, exterior shades are designed to block solar heat before it ever enters your home.
Our exterior shades can block up to 90% or more of the sun's heat. By stopping the sun's rays from hitting the glass, they prevent your windows from heating up and transferring that warmth into your house. This creates a powerful thermal barrier that keeps your home naturally cooler.
This dramatic reduction in solar heat gain significantly lessens the workload on your air conditioning system. Arizona homeowners can experience substantial energy savings and lower utility bills, with cooling cost reductions of up to 25%. In Arizona's extreme heat, this translates to hundreds of dollars in annual savings.
During Arizona's cooler months, exterior shades create an insulating barrier that helps retain heat inside your home, reducing heating costs and improving overall energy efficiency throughout the year.
Exterior shades act as the ultimate protective barrier against Arizona’s intense sun rays, providing benefits that go far beyond simple shade exterior applications.
Our exterior shades can block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting not only your family from sun damage but also preventing the fading and deterioration of your indoor furniture, flooring, artwork, and window treatments. This protection extends the life of your interior investments significantly.
By filtering Arizona's bright sunlight before it enters your home, exterior shades can virtually eliminate glare on TVs, computer screens, and other reflective surfaces. This creates a more comfortable and usable living environment without having to darken your rooms or close interior blinds completely.
Exterior shades offer the most versatile way to control both privacy and the amount of natural light entering your space, with benefits that interior treatments cannot provide.
Many of our exterior shade fabrics are engineered with special weaves that allow you to see out clearly while making it extremely difficult for people to see in during the day. This will enable you to maintain an open, bright feel in your home without sacrificing your privacy or personal sanctuary.
The "openness factor" of our shade fabrics determines the exact level of visibility and light filtering you desire. Choose from 1%, 3%, 5%, or 10% openness factors. Lower openness provides maximum sun protection and privacy, while higher transparency allows for more natural light and clearer outward views.
The ability to raise or lower your exterior shades means you can instantly adapt to changing weather conditions, different times of day, or varying privacy needs. This flexibility allows you to optimize your indoor environment throughout the day without compromise.
By dramatically cutting heat and glare, exterior shades can transform even the most sun-scorched Arizona patio into a cool, inviting outdoor space perfect for year-round relaxing and entertaining. Enjoy your outdoor areas even during the hottest parts of the day.
