Exterior Shades

Exterior shades are a streamlined, fabric-based solution that blocks heat and glare before it hits your windows. Unlike interior shades, they provide outside protection—making them ideal for exposed patios, sunrooms, or commercial storefronts that face direct Colorado sun.

Retractable Awnings

Awnings project outward to create shaded zones over windows, doors, or patios. These structural extensions add dimension to your exterior while offering retractable coverage. They’re especially useful in areas where flexibility is key—such as outdoor seating or walk-up service windows.

Wondering if outdoor shading is right for your home or business? Here are expert answers to the most common questions we get about exterior window treatments—backed by years of hands-on experience in Sheridan and the greater Denver South area.

Will outdoor shades help lower my energy bills?

Yes. By blocking direct sunlight before it hits your windows, exterior shades reduce indoor heat gain—keeping your interiors cooler and easing the load on your HVAC system.

Are these outdoor treatments built to last in Colorado’s climate?

Absolutely. Our exterior products are made with weather-resistant materials designed to handle sun exposure, wind, rain, and even snow. Brands like Insolroll and Eclipse specialize in high-performance outdoor solutions.

Do I need to manually adjust my shades or awnings?

Not necessarily. We offer motorized systems with remote controls, wall switches, or smart home integration. For added convenience, some models include wind or sun sensors.

Can I match my awning or shade to my home’s exterior style?

Yes. Our products come in a range of fabric textures, colors, and hardware finishes. Whether you want bold contrast or subtle blending, we’ll help you customize your selection.
