Exterior Sun Shades Block the Sun, Before it Strikes the Window

Utilizing a European concept, exterior solar window shades mount on the outside of the windows. Mounting shades on the outside blocks up to 97% of the heat and UV rays before the sun enters through the window.  The bulk of the heat is either absorbed by the screen and then dissipated or reflected.

Like sunglasses for your windows, Oasis® Exterior Window Shades enhance the view by filtering the sun and reducing unwanted glare. These exterior solar screen shades provide a clean look from the inside.  Exterior shades can be combined with any style of interior decorative window treatment. Dark fabrics provide the best view through characteristics in exterior roller shades.

Control heat gain by rolling down exterior solar sun shades on hot days to block the heat and rolling the shade up when you don’t need it. In some climates you may prefer to have shades retracted to maximize solar heat gain in the winter.

How exterior sun shades work

How exterior solar shades work

Solar shades on the outside of the window are highly effective because they stop sun rays before they enter the glass, keeping it from heating up. The inside of your home stays more comfortable, and cooling costs are reduced.
