Designing an outdoor living space is an exciting home improvement project, and gives you the chance to create another space to entertain guests. Additionally, it’s considered one of the home projects that results in increased property value. However, it’s important to include some crucial elements in this space.
Some Choices for Your Home’s Exterior Window Treatments
Exterior Solar Shades
First, let’s talk about some of the best options for your exterior windows in Arizona. Solar shades are a popular choice, as you might imagine. They’re made from a unique material to block harmful UV rays from the intense sunlight, while still allowing different levels of natural sunlight into your home’s windows.
There are various opaqueness percentages, according to the room’s function and personal preference. There are both interior and exterior solar shades, and eco-friendly choices too.
Solar shades are similar in function and style to exterior roller shades. These shades provide glare reduction and greatly reduce heat gain, helping to lower energy costs. They also give you control over the light you allow in at any given time.
Outdoor Roller Shades
Exterior roller shades are another popular choice, especially motorized options that are easily adjusted. When you have outdoor spaces, whether it’s a patio, a deck, or a gazebo, it’s important that your exterior window shades can withstand changing weather conditions. Manual shades or motorized options are available for your outdoor space.
These outdoor window shades are especially resistant to the elements, and can withstand rain and cold weather, as well as the relentless Arizona sun. Outdoor living spaces are perfect for those who love spending time in the great outdoors. Choosing exterior window shades like these give your outdoor area both aesthetic appeal and privacy from unwanted prying eyes. Most people prefer extra privacy on the patio with outdoor shades, to help stay cool.
Designing Outdoor Living Spaces
Outdoor areas are typically located on a patio or deck, and you want to create a space with style, for maximum visual appeal. Weather resistant outdoor furniture is a must for your exterior spaces, and outdoor shading is a must. For this purpose, you have several choices here at Arizona Blinds Company. Enjoy the beauty of your garden, even in the summer rain.
For example, we also carry retractable exterior shades, which have multiple different personalized options. They can be manually retracted or even motorized outdoor shades, and they are perfect for outdoor spaces. One great benefit is the protection these outdoor shades provide from damaging UV rays.
Additional Benefits of Exterior Shades
Regardless of which type of exterior shades you choose for your outdoor space, you can rest assured there will be plenty of advantages. For instance, we can agree on UV protection for your new outdoor furniture, and of course, your guests. You have ultimate light control at all times.
This is especially important in the Arizona sun, as harsh UV rays can damage fabrics, wood, and many other materials, over time. We also know that harmful UV rays cause cancer. And finally, these outdoor shades also help reduce glare from the sun. Solar shades do this, as well.
Other Exterior Shades, Screens, and Shutters
Depending on your personal style and level of privacy, you might consider choosing a type of shutters for your outdoor spaces. You might even have plantation or other exterior wooden shutters on your home windows. Outdoor shading can be accomplished with whichever patio shades or shutters you choose.
Arizona Blinds Company has all the highest quality exterior shades for your outdoor spaces. Living in the Arizona sun means homeowners appreciate products that provide energy efficiency. This is another reason to choose exterior shades, as they reduce heat gain in the summer to help reduce cooling costs.
Arizona Living
Outdoor spaces here need outdoor shading, a place to get out of the heat of the sun. Inside our homes, we like to allow some sunlight in, but in the heat of the summer, exposure to direct sun is kept to a minimum. Having the perfect patio space with outdoor shading helps keep cooling costs down, just like indoor window treatments do.
It’s common to turn your patio into an outdoor space that some people here call an Arizona Room. It can be in the front or the back. Keep in mind that any home improvement project you make should factor in things like curb appeal, and what potential buyers will appreciate. Your home is likely your biggest investment, so ROI is always a consideration.
