Exterior Shades: The Secret to Enjoying Your Patio All Summer Long

Summer in the Southwest can make outdoor living difficult.

Intense sun, heat, glare, and insects often force families indoors just when they'd rather be outside.

Exterior retractable shades change everything.

Create Comfortable Outdoor Living

Exterior shades block up to 97% of the sun's heat before it reaches your patio.

The result?

A dramatically cooler outdoor space that feels comfortable even during the hottest months.

Reduce Indoor Heat

Exterior shades don't just improve patios.

They also reduce solar heat entering adjacent rooms, helping lower cooling costs while increasing indoor comfort.

Preserve Your View

Unlike solid walls or curtains, premium solar fabrics maintain your outdoor view while significantly reducing glare and UV exposure.

Enjoy natural light without sacrificing comfort.

Motorized Convenience

Many homeowners choose motorized exterior shades that raise and lower with a remote control or smartphone.

With Somfy automation, managing your outdoor environment is effortless.
