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

Exterior Patio Shades in Southlake, 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 Southlake.

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 Southlake 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
  • Southlake 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 Southlake

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 Southlake 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.

Exterior Patio Shades questions from Southlake

Do you install exterior patio shades in Southlake?
Yes. Durrell Glick runs Love Is Blinds DFW, which covers Southlake 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) 961-9004.
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.
Do patio shades help with insects?
Track guided screens seal at the edges and do. A free hanging roller shade is for sun and glare rather than insects.
Can patio shades be left down permanently?
Not in wind. Fabric left out through a storm is how shades wear out early, which is the practical argument for motorizing a large span.
Do they keep rain out?
They cut sun, glare and some wind driven spray. They are not a wall, and a track guided screen seals better than a free hanging shade.
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 much do exterior patio shades cost in Southlake?
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.
