also called exterior sun shades

Installing an outdoor sun shade can significantly reduce cooling costs inside your home and create a pleasant atmosphere for your patio, deck or sunroom. Outdoor shades and outdoor blinds, also called patio shades or solar screens, are made with solar screen fabric that stops the sun's heat before it strikes your window, reducing heat transfer and keeping your home or business cooler. Sun shades and patio door blinds also reduce glare and help block damaging UV rays without losing your view. Blindsgalore offers discount outdoor shades, solar screens and patio shades from Coolaroo and Bali in many colors and child safe models.

How They Work

Outdoor sun shades, solar screens and patio shades are operated with a continuous cord loop system which remains the same height regardless of the position of the shade. These cord loops are available in stainless steel or fabric to match the shade if desired. Overall, patio shades and outdoor shades have an easy and convenient operation system.

Light Control

Light control of patio shades and solar screens is determined by the percentage of openness of the shade material. The percentage of openness refers to how much outside light and visibility is allowed to pass through the shade. Screen materials with a higher percentage allow more light and visibility to pass through and vice versa.
