Outdoor curtains, shutters, blinds and shades are highly beneficial, especially during the blistering summer months. Outdoor shades are made from all-weather fabrics and can block up to 90% of the sun’s harmful UV rays while allowing the perfect degree of light and visibility. Outdoor shades also help reduce indoor heat, which ultimately can lower overall energy usage in your home, creating a more comfortable atmosphere.
Outdoor shades and curtains can greatly influence the look and feel of your home while also providing the best insulation and heat reduction available. Exterior shades also protect your home’s interior, including your furniture, from fading and deteriorating due to the sun’s harmful UV rays, while still offering a daytime view. Exterior shades protect you and your home from the sun’s damaging effects, are easy to use, very low maintenance, and energy efficient, making them the perfect summer addition to your home.
In addition to blocking harsh sunlight, exterior shades can block strong winds, snow, and heavy rainfall. Several additional features are available with outdoor window shades, and custom window coverings can be upgraded by style, color, shape, fabric, and motorization.
At Long Island Window Treatments, we offer Hunter Douglas products and motorized operating systems. Hunter Douglas’ motorized systems are award-winning and among the most innovative technologies in the industry. Here are just a few innovative motorized options available with outdoor shades:
Cordless Lift
The cordless lift option is popular because it allows you to lift and lower your shades easily—with a simple touch of a button—offering an uncluttered, elegant look to your home.
Motorized Lift
Motorized lift shades can be controlled by remote, making this feature dependable, quiet, and completely wireless.
Continuous Cord Loop Controls
Continuous cord loop controls are beneficial because the cords can be secured to the wall or the window frame. With this option, there are fewer visible cords, offering a sleek modern look. Continuous cord loop controls are perfect for large, heavy shades.
Outdoor shades are crafted from durable, weatherproof materials that will withstand the elements and last for years to come. These exterior shades are a versatile and stylish way to protect yourself from your environment—whether it is sun, wind, snow, or rain—while also giving you the greatest of outdoor views.
