Learn MoreWant shade that doubles as protection? Our exterior rolling shutters mount outside any window, sliding door, or patio opening to guard against forced entry, dampen outside noise, and block sunlight completely once lowered. They add privacy and peace of mind to your Sonoma County property.
Learn MoreSunroom or rooftop terrace catching too much afternoon sun? Our skylight covers shade glass roofs, conservatories, and skylights without darkening the space underneath. Each cover uses a self-supported, fabric-woven cassette mounted on discreet track brackets, giving you overhead coverage at the push of a button whenever the sun's too much.


Sonoma County summers bring plenty of direct sun, and our exterior shading products are built specifically to handle it. Constructed from commercial-grade fabrics and hardware, they hold up to daily heat exposure for years without fading or breaking down, often outlasting the warranty itself. The payoff is a genuinely cooler, more comfortable outdoor space all season long.

Exterior shading is one of the smartest upgrades a Sonoma County homeowner can make. Built from long-lasting materials, these products add usable square footage, curb appeal, privacy, and insulation; all of which show up favorably in a stronger home appraisal down the line. It's an investment in your property that keeps paying off well after installation.

Picture your patio, pool deck, or terrace shaded exactly the way you want it, morning through evening, day after day. Our exterior products deliver that flexibility, whether you're after a light, translucent glow across the space or full blackout coverage to escape the afternoon heat entirely. Either way, you end up with an outdoor living space that finally feels like a true extension of your home.

Looking to trim your energy bills? Exterior shading blocks heat before it reaches your windows, easing the load on your air conditioning during Sonoma County's hottest summer stretches. Less heat transfer means your HVAC system works less to keep things comfortable, adding up to real savings.

Beyond shade, our exterior products add a real layer of privacy and protection. Opaque solar screens block sightlines from neighbors and passersby while keeping pests and critters off your patio. For a higher level of security, our fully opaque rolling shutters seal off windows and doors entirely, keeping prying eyes and unwanted visitors out for good.

Want your shading to work as smart as it looks? Most of our exterior products can be fully motorized and controlled from a wall switch, remote, or smartphone app. Cordless options are available too, and can tie into your existing home automation setup for a fully connected smart patio.
