When the weather is warm, there is nothing better than sitting outside on your patio. However, sitting out there while the direct afternoon sun is beating down on you can be uncomfortable. Outdoor patio shades work to block the sun’s rays and keep your patio cool so you can enjoy your patio at all times of the day.
The Benefits of Outdoor Solar Shades
Adding exterior shades to your patio can come with several benefits, such as:
- UV blocking: One of the major benefits of outdoor solar shades is their UV-blocking properties. Their woven material is designed to filter light. In the end, your skin — and your outdoor furniture — will thank you.
- Reduced energy usage: With less hot sun coming in through the windows or into your outdoor space, your fans or air conditioning can work less, saving you energy costs. This can also work the opposite way in the wintertime, keeping the heat in and the cold out.
- Protection against the elements: Outdoor screens provide protection against all kinds of weather, making your patio enjoyable in any season. Depending on the type of screen you get, you can extend the use of your outdoor space whether you have rain, shine, snow or sleet.
- Durable materials: Speaking of the elements, outdoor solar shades are crafted with fiberglass and extruded aluminum to withstand wind and other weather, helping to keep your patio safer. Their durable materials also will last you for years.
- Increased privacy: Exterior shades also provide privacy for your patio. You can enjoy your view during the day or hang out with friends at night without feeling like you are out in the open.
