Sun Screens & Patio Shades FAQs

Do sun screens and patio shades help reduce heat in Phoenix?
Yes—exterior shading can cut glare and reduce solar heat gain before it hits the glass, which helps rooms and patios feel more comfortable during peak sun hours.
What’s the difference between solar shades and exterior sun screens?
Solar shades are typically interior-facing for light control and visibility, while exterior sun screens are mounted outside to block heat and glare earlier in the process.
Can patio shade screens add privacy?
Definitely. Depending on openness factor and placement, patio shade screens can add daytime privacy while still allowing airflow and filtered light.
Do you serve areas outside Phoenix?
Yes—we serve the Greater Phoenix Area and surrounding communities. If you’re not sure, call and we’ll confirm coverage and schedule options.
