Exterior Solar Shades

Elevate your outdoor living spaces with Shadesmiths’ Exterior Solar Shades by Graber. Designed to be both weather-resistant and energy-efficient, they provide superior protection against sun and heat. With the added benefit of blocking sunlight before it enters your home, you can enjoy lower cooling bills and a more comfortable interior.

Ideal for Any Space with High Sun Exposure

  • Lower your energy costs even more by reducing heat gain outside your home

  • Protect your expensive interior décor investments from fading because of harmful UV rays

  • Construction includes a bottom notch, anchoring the shade so it doesn't flap in the breeze

  • Durable, exterior-rated fabrics and components are engineered to withstand weather, humidity, and sun exposure

Taking Back Sun Days

Not only do exterior solar shades block undesirable light and heat, they also minimize wind and mist while letting in soft, filtered light and air—making your outdoor-living spaces more comfortable.
