Outside (Exterior) Shades in Miami & South Florida

Exterior shades block solar heat outside the building envelope, which is the only way to keep a patio, lanai or balcony usable in July. Weather-rated fabrics and hardware are built for sun, rain and salt air.

Why homeowners choose outside (exterior) shades

  • Stops up to 90% of solar heat before it enters the home
  • Makes patios, lanais and balconies comfortable year-round
  • Cuts wind, glare and insects on screened openings
  • Manual crank or motorized with wind sensors

Frequently asked questions

Will exterior shades survive a Florida storm?

They are sun and rain rated, not hurricane rated. We install them so they can be retracted quickly, and motorized systems can include a wind sensor that raises them automatically.

Can I still see out through them?

Yes. Mesh fabrics keep the outward view while cutting glare and heat; lower openness percentages mean more shade and slightly less visibility.
