Why Add Outdoor Shades or Awnings?
To transform with outdoor shades is no longer just about patio furniture and a BBQ grill. Today’s homeowners are creating stylish, functional outdoor “rooms” where they can entertain, unwind, or even work from home. But that Oklahoma sun can be intense! That’s where exterior patio shades and retractable awnings come in.
- Protection from harsh UV rays
- Lower cooling costs inside your home
- Increased privacy without blocking your view
- A boost to your home’s curb appeal and value
With options from trusted brands like Insolroll, Graber, and Norman, you can count on high-quality performance and style that lasts.
Explore Our Exterior Shade Options
Let’s break down your choices so you can envision what’s possible in your own backyard.
🌞 Exterior Patio Shades
Our Exterior Patio Shade Solutions are a sleek way to manage sunlight and heat while still enjoying the view. These are ideal for:
- Covered patios
- Gazebos
- Porches
- Pergolas
They’re especially popular for west-facing patios, where the afternoon sun can be brutal. Many of our clients also love using them around their pool area to cut glare and reduce sunburn risks for kids and guests.
Key benefits:
- Cordless and motorized options, including app or remote control
- Durable, weather-resistant materials
- Custom-fit to your space, even oversized openings
- Smart home compatibility with Alexa, Google, and more
🌤️ Retractable Awnings
Need a little more flexibility? Retractable Awnings are the perfect solution for those who want shade when they need it—and sunshine when they don’t.
Ideal for:
- Decks
- Balconies
- Garden seating areas
- Commercial patios (yes, we serve local businesses too!)
Our awnings can be motorized or manually operated, with fabrics in a wide range of colors and patterns to suit any style—from bold and vibrant to subtle and elegant.
Bonus: Some models even come with wind sensors that automatically retract the awning during high winds!
Style Meets Smart Tech
Today’s outdoor window treatments aren’t just beautiful—they’re smart. With options like motorization, timers, sun sensors, and home automation integrations, you can control your outdoor comfort with just a tap or a voice command.
Motorized exterior shades and awnings are one of the most-requested upgrades in 2025—and we totally get why. They’re sleek, convenient, and add real value to your home.
Perfect for Every Season
While summer is prime time to transform with outdoor shades, our products are made to last year-round.
Exterior shades help block wind and chill in the fall and early spring, too. Plus, with custom fabrics and UV-blocking technology, your outdoor furniture, flooring, and rugs will be protected from fading all year long.
