By blocking up to 95 percent of UV rays, these custom motorized shades protect living spaces, furniture, and finishes while still allowing natural light and outdoor visibility. Homeowners across Dallas, Fort Worth, and nearby communities choose motorized patio shades for dependable heat reduction, easier light control, and a more comfortable home environment without sacrificing style.

Different Fabrics To Choose From 

Our most popularly used solar screen fabric options can be found in 5 and 10 percent openness. Based on the openness, they provide 95% and 90% sun protection. Thanks to the darker color of our fabrics, the heat and excess light are absorbed before it passes through. More absorption results in more protection, as well as a clearer view with less glare. Our fabrics come in two main styles: Natte and Satine. Natte offers a standard 2x2 basketweave pattern, while Satine offers a unique and decorative twill weave pattern. Shop our selection of fabrics below.

Why Customers Love Our Motorized Exterior Shades

Heat Reduction

Motorized exterior shades are a popular choice for reducing heat and improving comfort. By filtering harsh sunlight before it reaches your windows, these window shades help regulate temperatures across patios, living spaces, and backyard areas. The result is better functionality outdoors, even during peak Texas sun.

Daytime Privacy

These motorized shades provide reliable daytime privacy without closing off your view. Depending on fabric textures and opacity, including sheer options, homeowners can enjoy natural light while limiting visibility from neighboring properties. It’s an ideal balance of openness and separation for busy residential settings.

Convenient Control

Ease of use is a major reason homeowners choose motorized window shades. With seamless integration into smart home systems, shades can be adjusted using a smartphone app or voice control. Whether you’re indoors or outside, managing light and privacy takes just seconds.

Extended Outdoor Living Space

By adding shade, light control, and visual comfort, motorized exterior shades help turn patios and backyard areas into usable living spaces. These custom solutions add detail and purpose to outdoor zones, making them feel like a natural extension of the home rather than a separate area.

Great local family owned DFW business. They took the time to show us amazing options and demonstrated onsite functionality that ultimately set them apart from the competition and earned our business. The solar screens are beautiful and block out the western sun completely. We are so pleased we are going to have them install indoor shades to darken the bedrooms.
