I want to use in winter time to stop the cold breeze on my porch. I think it will help what do you think
Asked by Norman L ·
Hi Norman, thank you for reaching out! This will block some wind, however, since these shades still have an openness to them, they are not the best for blocking out the cold. These are used for light reduction and UV blockage.

Do you have exterior solar shades that are waterproof and rust proof in the dimension 16ft x 12ft?
Asked by Gloria ·
Hi Gloria, thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately, we do not offer a single shade that big. The maximum width is 115" for a normal shade and 96" for a cassette valance. We would recommend breaking up the width into at least 2 separate shades and install across the opening.

I would like to put these on my gazebo, but live in Wisconsin, and would like to use my hot tub during the winter with these down. Will this work?
Asked by Amber ·
Hi Amber, thank you for your question! Yes, you would be able to install these in a gazebo. With a 10% openness, you will be able to see pretty well through these. I would recommend ordering some of our free samples of both the 5% and 10% to see which weave will best fit your needs.

I need a solar shade 13 feet wide and 8 feet 8 inches tall?
Asked by Tony ·
Hello Tony, thank you for reaching out! Unfortunately, our maximum width is 115". I would recommend breaking this width up into at least 2 shades and mounting them side by side. By doing so you will also be able to have the shade made at the height you need too. Please give us a call at 888-256-8672, option "1" for Sales if you need further assistance.

do i need to add more to length & with when ordering?
Asked by Cecil H ·
Hello Cecil, thank you for your inquiry! You only need to add to the width and the height if doing an Outside Mount. You will not add for an inside mount. Here is a link to our measuring video below: https://youtu.be/HSf2phXtp6s

i have a sunroom with 13 panels it is constructed with metal and wood floors - i would love to have something like this for the winter here in Texas - would it block the cold weather coming into into the Lanai ?
Asked by Rick ·
Hello Rick, thank you for reaching out! These shades do have an openness to them. They will block some of the wind that comes through, but I do not believe that these are going to give you the insulation you need from the cold.

Do you have an install video that shows how the inside mount works with the beaded pull chain. Do you need to adjust your measurements to leave room for the pull chain?
Asked by Marybeth G ·
Hello Marybeth, thank you for your question! You do not need to make any special adjustment to your sizes when ordering as an inside mount. The factory will automatically take that deduction for you based off of the lift type you select. For the width on an inside mount, you will want to provide the exact width at the very top of the window opening. I have attached the link to a measuring video below: https://youtu.be/HSf2phXtp6s

Hi Peter! Thank you for your inquiry! These shades are raised and lowered by a continuous cord loop with a nylon beaded chain.
