Stop the Summer Heat Before It Reaches the Glass
Here is the key to a comfortable Central PA summer: 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 bright, west- and south-facing windows and decks.
Exterior shades and solar screens do exactly that. Mounted outside the glass or around your deck, they stop radiant heat and UV before they enter, cut glare, and keep both the room and the deck cooler, while preserving your outward view. Choose fixed screens or roll-down shades, manual or motorized, in exterior-grade fabrics built for the mid-Atlantic climate. We size and install each one, and retractable or removable options let you protect them in the off-season.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Shades in Central PA
Why are exterior shades more effective than interior shades in summer?
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 summer heat gain.
They also keep the deck 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. Tighter weaves add more privacy and heat control.
Can exterior shades handle a Central PA winter?
We use exterior-grade fabrics and hardware built for sun and weather, and roll-down or retractable systems let you pull the shade in and protect it through the off-season.
Can exterior 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 set up the automation during installation.
