Exterior shades offer insulation and reduce heat transfer through windows. When exterior shades are used outdoors and installed on a deck, porch, or a balcony, the outdoor shades block UV rays and control sunlight, but do not obstruct the view. With the ability to control sunlight and block harmful UV rays in outdoor areas, time spent in those areas is more enjoyable, especially in the summer.
Whether you live in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or elsewhere in the northeast United States, flies, bees, wasps and mosquitoes are never a welcome addition to any gathering. Retractable insect screens can help make the most of time spent on a balcony, deck, or patio.
Automated controls for your exterior shades and screens, including sun and wind sensors and home automation integration are available. Control with mounted and handled remotes or by smartphone app.
