Sun Pro exterior solar screens and cable-guided zipper shades can filter sunlight, manage glare, and create more usable patio space. Performance depends on the selected product, fabric, window, and conditions.
Exterior vs. Interior Shading
Interior shades can help manage sunlight after it reaches the glass. Exterior shades intercept some sunlight before it reaches the window; their effect on indoor comfort and energy use depends on the product, fabric, window, orientation, weather, and home.
Our Sun Pro zipper-track and cable-guided systems handle vertical openings - windows, patio spans, and large glass doors. For overhead openings like pergola roofs and skylights, we also install the Polar Shades Tension Shade, a motorized roller shade built specifically for horizontal installations.
Choose your openness factor - from a barely-there 5% that reduces glare while preserving your view, to a near-blackout 1% that gives you maximum privacy and protection. We'll help you choose the right system and fabric at your free in-home consultation.
