Stop the Texas Heat Before It Reaches the Glass
Here is the key to beating the Texas heat: once the sun’s energy passes through the glass, it is already heating your room. Interior shades help, but blocking the heat outside the window is far more effective, especially on west- and south-facing Austin windows and patios.
Exterior solar shades and screens do exactly that. Mounted outside the glass or around your patio, they stop radiant heat and UV before they enter, cut glare, and keep both the room and the patio cooler, while preserving your outward view. Choose fixed screens or roll-down shades, manual or motorized, in exterior-grade fabrics built for sun, heat, and wind. We size and install each one to handle an exposed Austin site.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Solar Shades in Austin
Why are exterior solar shades more effective than interior shades?
Because they stop the sun’s heat and UV outside the glass, before it enters and warms the room. Interior shades block heat only after it is already inside, so exterior shades deliver the biggest reduction in heat gain, especially on sunny Austin windows.
They also keep the patio itself cooler and usable.
Do exterior shades block my view?
No. Solar-screen fabrics cut heat, UV, and glare while preserving your outward view and daylight, so you keep the Hill Country view while staying comfortable. Tighter weaves add more privacy and heat control.
Can exterior solar shades be motorized?
Yes. Roll-down exterior shades can be motorized so you drop them for the afternoon sun and raise them in the evening, by remote, app, or schedule. We offer wind-smart options suited to Texas weather.
