Frequently Asked Questions
Are exterior shades different from interior shades?+
Yes. Exterior shades use heavier, weather-resistant fabrics and stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum components that withstand rain, UV, and temperature swings. They are installed outside the window or on the exterior of a structure.
Can exterior shades be retracted in strong winds?+
Yes — motorized exterior shades with wind sensors can automatically retract when wind speeds exceed a set threshold, protecting the fabric and motor from damage.
What fabric options are available for exterior shades?+
We offer PVC-coated polyester in various openness factors (1–10%) for outdoor use. Colors and textures vary — contact us for a sample kit.
