What is the difference between indoor and outdoor solar shades? I’m looking for indoor but always gravitate to the outdoor colors. I’m leaning toward solar shades on a wide sliding patio door for aesthetics only. I don’t need much in terms of light/UV blocking.
Asked by Kerry ·
Hi Kerry, thank you for your question! The Deluxe Textured Exterior Outdoor Solar Shades are specifically designed for exterior use (patios, porches, pergolas, etc.) and built to handle sun, wind exposure, and outdoor conditions. Shades like our Deluxe Light Filtering Solar Shades use a slightly different fabric and are not meant for direct outdoor elements.

I have an aluminum screened in porch. I don't think that inside side mount is possible as it is just aluminum. Can the blinds be mounted on the top which has adequate space and is a wooden beam wrapped in aluminum
Asked by Cathy ·

I have two sides of my pergola the requie shades, unfortuantly I will also need two shades for each side. Since I will have side by side, I do not want overhang on the sides but it will be mounted outside above. How would I account for the measurements of each for them in a side by side configuration.

Our backyard faces south, and through most of the day has a very harsh sun exposure. How well will these attenuate sunlight? I understand the 95% UV spec, but curious how well they work on the visual spectrum.

The colors all look pretty light however I see in the comments the darker ones are more transparent? Is the Griege considered dark and is there really a big difference being its not much darker than the others?
Asked by Matt ·
Hi Matt, thanks for your question about out Deluxe Textured Exterior Outdoor Solar Shades. Darker colors offer better heat absorption and a better view through. The color Greige would be the darkest color in these shades. To assist you in finalizing your color selection, we can send you up to 10 free samples.

In the pictures you have 2 side by side. Is the bottom weighted to keep them from blowing in the breeze?
Asked by E ·
Hello E, thank you for reaching out! There are 2 different options for how the bottom rail will arrive. By default, they will come with a sealed-in aluminum bottom rail to help give a little weight to the bottom, or you can choose to upgrade to bungee hold-downs, which secure the bottom of the shade on either side to limit swaying in the wind.

Will these block the view from the people outside? The house next to us can see directly onto our deck and isn't far away. Looking for something that gives a bit of privacy.
Asked by Dylan ·
Hello Dylan, thank you for your inquiry! These solar shades will still have 5% visibility through the fabric. This will not completely block the view, but lighter colors will help distort the view. I would recommend ordering a sample of the fabrics just to make sure they will give you the privacy you are looking for.
