Exterior Patio Shades installed in Grapevine, TX by Love Is Blinds

Exterior Patio Shades in Grapevine, Texas

Outdoor shades that stop the sun before it reaches the glass, so a west facing patio is still usable at five in the afternoon. Free in-home consultation in Grapevine.

Stop the sun before the glass, not after

We build Exterior Patio Shades to the opening, not to a catalogue size, and we measure every Grapevine window ourselves before anything is ordered.

An interior blind blocks light that has already come through the window and heated the room. An exterior shade stops it outside. On a west wall in a Texas summer that is the whole argument.

  • Free in-home consultation with samples you can hold against your own light
  • Every opening measured on site, not estimated
  • Grapevine is covered by Love Is Blinds DFW, run by Durrell Glick
  • Remade at no cost if it does not match the approved measurements

Exterior Patio Shades we install in Grapevine

Retractable shades

Roll up out of the weather, keeping fabric out of wind and hail.

Track guided patio screens

Fabric runs in side channels so it does not billow, and the edges seal.

Porch and outdoor room shades

Enclose a porch so it stays usable through the hottest part of the day.

Exterior solar shades for windows

Mounted outside the glass, so heat is stopped before it enters.

Pergola shades

Sized to the beams rather than the opening, so the fabric runs clean between posts.

Wind rated hardware

Heavier tubes and brackets on exposed sites, and a retract plan for when weather turns.

Exterior Patio Shades, measured and installed in Grapevine by Durrell Glick.

Exterior Patio Shades we have installed for Texas homes

We would rather talk you out of something that will not work than sell it and come back to fix it.

What moves the price of exterior patio shades

  • Span of the opening, which drives hardware and motor sizing
  • Fabric openness, since a tighter weave costs more per square foot
  • Whether you motorize, and whether it is battery, hardwired or solar
  • Track guided systems, which add hardware and installation time

We measure the openings and quote from those measurements. The number on your estimate is the number you pay.

What Grapevine homeowners say

"If you’re looking for blinds, this is the company to use. Durrell was professional, prompt, and very helpful during the process and we LOVE our new roller shades! We received a quote from another company and it was almost double what we paid with Love is Blinds."

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about our blinds and the service from Durrell! We have the automatic shades both in blackout and standard. As well as the manual ones they are all great quality product. These were a game changer for us and so glad we choose what we did. Durrell was quick to respond, gave us all the options and was great with informing us how to use them. Thank you so much for everything!"

Exterior Patio Shades questions from Grapevine

Do you install exterior patio shades in Grapevine?
Yes. Durrell Glick runs Love Is Blinds DFW, which covers Grapevine along with Fort Worth, Denton, the Mid-Cities, Southlake, Grapevine, Coppell and Granbury. The person who measures your windows is the person who fits them. Call (817) 562-9262.
What colour fabric should I pick?
Darker fabrics cut glare and preserve the view. Lighter ones reflect heat but scatter light, which can make glare worse.
How long do outdoor shade fabrics last?
Longer if they are retracted when not in use. Sun and wind are what age them, not time.
What openness factor should I choose?
It depends which way the space faces. A west facing patio taking full afternoon sun wants a tighter weave. A north facing porch can take a more open one and keep more of the view.
Should I motorize them?
On a wide span, usually yes. A large exterior shade is heavy to crank by hand, and motorized shades come up far faster when the wind turns, which is what protects the fabric.
Will they hold up to Texas weather?
Exterior shades should be retracted in high wind. We size the hardware to the opening and go over the wind guidance at the consultation.
How much do exterior patio shades cost in Grapevine?
It depends on the size of the openings, the material and the options you choose. We measure every opening on site and quote from those measurements, so the number on your estimate is the number you pay. The consultation is free.
