OUTDOOR SHADES

Simple and Contemporary

  • Material: Outdoor shades are typically made from durable materials that can withstand exposure to sunlight, moisture, wind, and temperature fluctuations. Common materials include PVC, vinyl, polyester, and acrylic. These materials are resistant to fading, mildew, and corrosion.
  • Weather Resistance: Outdoor shades are designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, including UV exposure, rain, humidity, and wind. They are often treated with weather-resistant coatings or finishes to enhance their durability and longevity.
  • Sun Protection: One of the primary functions of outdoor shades is to provide protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays. They help to reduce glare, heat, and UV
  • Privacy: Outdoor shades offer privacy by blocking the view from outside while still allowing airflow and natural light to enter the space. This makes them ideal for use on patios, balconies, decks, and pergolas.
  • Versatility: Outdoor shades come in a variety of styles, including roller shades, solar shades, bamboo shades, and exterior shutters. They can be customized to fit different types of outdoor spaces and architectural styles.
  • Ease of Maintenance: Outdoor shades are designed for easy maintenance and cleaning. Most shades can be wiped down with a damp cloth or hosed off with water to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Some materials may also be resistant to stains and mold growth, further simplifying maintenance.

TYPES OF OUTDOOR SHADES

DROP SHADE

A drop shade outdoor is a type of outdoor window covering designed to provide shade and protection from the elements in exterior spaces such as patios, decks, or pergolas. These shades are typically made from durable materials that can withstand exposure to sunlight, wind, and moisture.

RETRACTABLE AWNING

A retractable awning is a versatile outdoor shading solution that can be extended or retracted as needed to provide shade and protection from the sun. These awnings are typically mounted to the exterior of a building, such as a home or commercial property, and can be manually operated or motorized for added convenience.

ZIP TRACK SYSTEM

Zip track blinds, also known as zip screens or wire-guided shades, feature a unique track-guided system that provides stability and wind resistance. The fabric is held in place by a zipper mechanism within vertical tracks on each side of the opening, preventing it from flapping in the wind or being affected by other outdoor elements. Zip track blinds are ideal for windy areas and coastal environments.

CABLE GUIDED SYSTEM

This system ingeniously employs cables or wires to steer the movement of the window covering, ensuring stability and control, particularly in outdoor or windy conditions.

CONTROL OPTIONS

MOTORIZATION

Motorized outdoor shades can be operated using a handheld remote control. With the press of a button, you can raise, lower, or adjust the position of the shades from a distance, providing convenient control without the need to manually operate the shades.

CRANK HANDLE

Some outdoor shades feature a crank handle mechanism, similar to those used for awnings. Turning the crank handle raises or lowers the shades, allowing for easy adjustment without the need for cords.

PULL CHAIN

Another manual control option is a pull chain mechanism, similar to those used for blinds. Pulling on the chain raises or lowers the shades to the desired position.
