Turn a Sun-Baked Patio Into a Comfortable Outdoor Room
Summers in Louisiana are hot — and if your patio, porch, or outdoor kitchen feels more like a furnace than a relaxing retreat, exterior patio shades are the fix. Mounted over your outdoor space, they block UV and radiant heat before it reaches you, dropping the temperature dramatically and turning a sun-baked patio into a comfortable, usable room through the long Baton Rouge summer. They also cut glare, add daytime privacy, and help keep the bugs out.
Available in a range of openness factors and manual or motorized operation, built to stand up to the Louisiana climate. Locally owned since 2013. (Note: these provide sun, heat, glare, and privacy control — they are not code-rated hurricane shutters.)

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Patio Shades in Baton Rouge
1. How much cooler do exterior patio shades make a Baton Rouge outdoor space?
Exterior solar shades can drop your patio or porch’s ambient temperature significantly by blocking UV and radiant heat before it reaches you. In Baton Rouge’s intense summer sun, that’s often the difference between an outdoor space you avoid and one you use all season — plus they cut glare and keep bugs out.
2. Will exterior shades block my view?
No — solar-screen fabrics preserve your outward view during the day while blocking heat and UV. The openness factor sets the balance: tighter weaves give more blockage and privacy, more open weaves keep a clearer view. We help you choose.
3. Are these hurricane shutters?
No. Our exterior patio shades provide sun, heat, glare, and privacy control, but they are not code-rated hurricane or storm shutters. If you need certified hurricane protection, we’re happy to point you in the right direction.
