Choose from Made In The Shade’s Best Exterior Window Treatments

From sleek, motorized designs to timeless, retractable options, our collection of outdoor window treatments brings style and function to every outdoor space. We proudly partner with trusted names like Carefree of Colorado, Insolroll, Rainier, and Eclipse to offer the best in performance and design.

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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The general contractor for our home renovation recommended Made in the Shade for our window treatments. We are so glad they did. From the first appointment, through the selection, measuring, ordering, and installation process, Brendon and his team were amazing. They provided sound advice/recommendations, had vast knowledge of their product lines, had an extensive amount of various options. They were professional, patient and thoughtful throughout the process. They even installed temporary blinds until ours arrived. Our blinds/shades arrived in the timeline they stated, were sized perfectly and their installer is amazing! He was very thorough and so experienced it took him no time at all to install the blinds/shades for our whole house. We couldn't believe how fast they went up. We are very pleased with the quality of our blinds/shades (we love them) and working with Made in the Shade team was the best interaction of our whole renovation. We recommend them highly.

They took the time to communicate clearly about what they were doing, answered any questions with patience, and made sure everything was placed perfectly. They worked efficiently without rushing, cleaned up after themselves, and paid attention to details. Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Want to give a shout out to Brendan Killian with Made in the Shade and his installer, Nick. We had an easy and seamless experience with them. Brendan provided excellent advice as to new blinds and a Sun Coast patio awning we just had installed. The blinds and awning are beautiful and are a much better quality than our previous blinds. Nick was helpful and knowledgeable. The company is very professional and we would highly recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brendan and his team were great from the beginning to the end.  He opened his warehouse for us on the last minute and we were able to view several options.  We settled on window shutters.  Brendan was the only one to use take measurements using a laser guided device, which gave us added assurance that the shutters would be a precise fit.  The order came quickly and Nick did a great job installing.  We would use this company again in a heart beat.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Brendan was a pleasure. Even though you were with many options of finishes and materials. Then just before we were to confirm the order, I was having second thoughts about what we had chosen. He brought over new options only to have me settle on what we had originally decided. He never got frustrated with my questions. Once the order arrived, everything was installed timely and with care. We will definitely use Made in the Shade in the future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Made In The Shade has been a great service for the small business I manage. Brenda came out once to replace one roller shade and matched it exactly to our existing shades, plus she measured all of our windows so as more roller shades give out, she already has all the info and can simply order us replacements and get them installed quickly. Nick came out for the installation and is such an awesome guy, very friendly and knows everything there is to know about his trade! He even helped us out and tightened up some other shades that he wasn't there to replace. Highly recommend!

Common Questions About Exterior Window Treatments

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.

Is installation complicated or disruptive?

Not with us. Our team handles everything—from measurement to professional installation—with care and precision. Most installs are completed quickly and with minimal disruption to your routine.
