Exterior Shades: The Much Needed Window Coverings

Taking care of the exteriors is as important as looking after the interiors. We tend to spend huge chunks of money on the indoor window treatments and end up neglecting our outdoors. Installing a layer of exterior shades blocks the harsh sunlight and UV radiations from entering the home.

Harsh sunlight can adversely affect the paint, furniture polish, and all the decorative stuff kept inside. Even if you install indoor window treatments such as wooden blinds or faux wood blinds, blocking the UV rays becomes an impossible task.

If you live in places with extreme temperature conditions, it is advisable to install exterior shades and blinds. Available in a number of variants, these shades can prove to be really helpful in blocking heat during summers.

Also available as custom outdoor shades, outdoor window treatments are a must for extra-large windows.

Before introducing you to the options available in motorized outdoor shades, allow us to explain to you the reasons for installing exterior shades.

Why Outdoor Shades?

• Money Saving: Due to high insulation, the solar shades help in cutting down electricity bills to a considerable level. It is believed that 50% of the heat enters the room through clear glass windows and 40% escapes through it. Due to this, there is a lot of heat gain during summers and heat loss during winters. The solar shades block a majority of the heat gain thus maintaining a very comfortable temperature inside.

• Protection from Ultra Violet Radiation: The solar shades are designed to block the harmful UV rays of the sun. This aids in increasing the life of your furniture and makes it lasts much longer. No warping or wading, solar shades are no less than a layer of protection to your interiors.

• Aesthetics: Including all the other utilities, solar shades enhance the beauty of the outdoors too. Best if your windows open to a lawn or lobby. With a very neat and tidy look, they uplift the appearance of the entire wall.

• Privacy control: A very obvious feature of solar shades, this helps you keep your indoor life intact. Their translucent property makes them perfect to block the sight and simultaneously let the diffused light inside. Please note that they only provide privacy during the daytime when it is bright outside and darker on your interiors.

Motorized Exterior Shades and Blinds:

Best for locations such as sunroof bedrooms, greenhouses, and skylights, exterior shades give you considerable protection from the outside heat and light.

The solar battery is a very effective way to cut down your electricity bills. It is seamlessly hidden inside the headrail. Totally based on the sun for energy, it stores charge and can function without the sunlight for a considerable time.

Outdoor blinds and shades also give you complete control over privacy. If you live on a busy street or your window faces the neighbor’s house, it is advisable to add an extra layer of coverage to your windows in the form of exterior shades.
