Your Deck & Patio Are Extra Living Space — Outdoor Shades Make Them Usable

New Jersey’s spring, summer, and fall are made for the outdoors — but strong afternoon sun, glare, and heat can drive you back inside. Exterior patio shades and retractable awnings block UV and radiant heat before it reaches you, cut glare, and add privacy, turning a deck, patio, or three-season porch into a comfortable outdoor room you’ll actually use. They also help protect outdoor furniture and adjacent interiors from fading.

For the modern homeowner, we offer smart-motorized systems you can lower by remote or schedule with sun sensors — extend for instant shade over the patio, then retract for open sky. As a designer-led business, we help you choose systems that suit your home and install them for a clean, secure fit.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor & Patio Shades in the Golden Triangle

Exterior solar shades can drop your deck or patio’s ambient temperature significantly by blocking UV and radiant heat before it reaches you. In NJ’s strong summer sun, that’s often the difference between an outdoor space you avoid in the afternoon and one you use all season.

They also cut glare and add privacy while preserving your view.

Yes — exterior shades and screens are ideal for decks, patios, and three-season porches, blocking sun and glare and adding privacy to make the space comfortable through NJ’s spring, summer, and fall.

Yes — our retractable awnings can be motorized with remote or app control, and include automatic sun and wind sensors that extend or retract on their own, protecting the awning during fast-moving NJ storms.

Yes. Cellular (honeycomb) shades trap a layer of insulating air against the glass, reducing heat loss in New Jersey’s cold winters and heat gain in the humid summers. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates cellular shades can cut window heat gain by up to 40%.

That dual-season insulation eases the load on both your heating and cooling, lowering your PSE&G bills all year.
