Outdoor Solar Shades
Create a more comfortable space with outdoor solar shades. Exterior solar shades reduce glare on your windows, block UV rays, and prevent insects from entering. They can also reduce heat, keep off the wind, and lower your energy bill. To fully enjoy your indoor and outdoor spaces, make your large windows, patio doors, and sunrooms ready by visiting Smart Blind Design.
Smart Blind Design in Greenwich, Connecticut, is driven by the vision of helping people beautify their homes. We meet our customer's needs by focusing on the details and using the highest-quality products. Explore our range of high-quality, custom, Italian-made outdoor solar shades from KE Outdoor Designs. Stop by today to find privacy and comfort products for your patio, sunroom, or balcony!
What Are Outdoor Solar Shades?
Outdoor solar shades go outside your windows or doors or around your outdoor spaces, including patios, decks, solariums, and sunrooms. They block light and heat, reduce glare, and prevent insects from coming indoors. Outdoor solar shades also keep the wind off the glass on your doors and windows, offering extra protection during bad weather. Day in and day out, solar shades make your home more comfortable.
Design and Personalization
Customizing your outdoor solar shades from KE Outdoor Designs allows you to select the fabrics and the frames. We have hundreds of fabric options in varying opacities, but the most popular are mesh screens, solid fabrics, transparent vinyl fabric, and blackout fabric. The standard frame colors are white, charcoal, brown, and sand, but we can also customize colors to fit your needs. The fabric guides are also customizable. You can select:
- Standard track
- Free hanging
- Rod
- Cable
- Zip track
- Recessed zip track
We customize our exterior solar shades to the location where you're installing them. Our staff will take professional measurements of your patio, pergola, solarium, sunroom, or other space so the screens fit perfectly, guaranteeing your comfort.
Vertex Tension Screen
You can mount Vertex Tension Screens from KE Outdoor Designs vertically or horizontally to provide the best level of coverage. For instance, you can mount them along sliding glass doors, sunrooms, or windows or attach them above or below a pergola or glass roof. This covers your home's problem areas, whatever they might be, to create a more comfortable outdoor space where you can relax and enjoy time with friends and family.
CS0 Exterior and Outdoor Solar Screens for Windows
Exterior and Outdoor solar screens are beautiful and efficient roller shades. Add them to your windows, patio openings, sliding glass doors, garden areas, or sunrooms. Their designs reduce heat, eliminate glare, and block UV rays. They can keep both your outdoor and indoor spaces more comfortable by reducing the direct light that enters and managing the temperature.
You can motorize the CS0 Exterior, or you can operate it manually. You also have the option to add a hood to conceal the fabric roll.
CS4, CS5, CS6 Cassette Exterior Solar Shade Systems
The custom-made CS4, CS5, and CS6 Cassette Solar Awning Shade Systems repel heat, insects, glare, and wind. All three of these options use the cassette system, which holds the roll of fabric inside of it when you're not using it, protecting it from dust and the elements.
While these models are similar, there are some distinct differences. You can automate the CS4 and CS5 or leave them as manual, but the CS6 only has a motorized option. The CS5 has an additional guide option, the Pratika roll. The biggest differences have to do with coverage:
- The CS4 has a 4-inch cassette with widths ranging from 3’-13’ and will drop from 3’-10’
- The CS5 has a 5-inch cassette with widths ranging from 3’-20’ and will drop from 3’-16’
- The CS6 has a 6-inch cassette with widths ranging from 6’-26’ and will drop from 3’-16’
KE Storm Rail – Reinforced Zipper Screen
This option locks the fabric and Hem Bar into the guide rail to stay secure, even under pressure or in high winds. The Hem Bar adjusts smoothly and has protection from light and heat. This means that your outdoor solar shade will continue to act as a barrier from water, leaves, and wind in inclement weather. Even though you can't be outside, it protects your home's exterior.
