In some structures and window installations, the best way to control sunlight is before it enters a structure. And in other locations, outdoor spaces themselves need a shading system to reduce excessive heat or solar exposure. For both such applications, exterior shades are an efficient way to provide solar control, helping to manage light and heat. These include exterior rollup screens, retractable awnings, fixed panels and curving systems.

Exterior shades are ideal solutions for large expanses of glass and windows that face skyward, such as in skylights, sunrooms, solariums, and greenhouses. These shades prevent and reduce solar exposure and heat gain before it penetrates the glass.

For keeping exterior spaces like decks, patios or outdoor living areas, retractable awnings provide a great way to make the great outdoors even greater.
