Description
You want your patio to be usable during summer, not abandoned because of heat and glare. Bali Outdoor Solar Shades make that happen by mounting on your home's exterior to filter sunlight before it reaches your windows and outdoor spaces. The engineered fabric blocks heat and UV rays while maintaining clear views, so you stay comfortable while still seeing outside. Your interior rooms stay cooler without darkening, which means less air conditioning demand and lower cooling costs. Your furniture and flooring keep their colors instead of fading over time. You control how much light filtering you want, choosing from openness levels of 1% to 10%. If you want maximum heat blocking, go lower. If you prefer more visibility, go higher. Motorized operation lets you control the shades from your phone or set them to automatically close during the hottest parts of the day. Cordless operation keeps everything clean and uncluttered. The outdoor fabric is built to handle sun exposure, temperature changes, and weather without deteriorating. The result is an outdoor living space that works for you during summer months, with interiors that stay comfortable and furnishings that look new.
Exterior Mount Capability: Mount directly to home exterior, stopping heat before it reaches windows. No interior space taken up.
Patio and Deck Expansion: Make covered porches and patios comfortable during heat of day. Extend outdoor living season.
Heat Blocking Performance: Blocks sun's intense heat from entering home, reducing cooling demands and air conditioning costs.
UV Protection: Protects both outdoor and interior furniture and flooring from fading caused by harmful UV rays.
Weather-Engineered Fabric: Outdoor fabrics designed to withstand sun exposure, temperature swings, and weather conditions.
View Preservation: Solar fabric filters light without blocking views outward. See beyond the shade while staying cool.
Multiple Openness Ratings: Available in 1%, 3%, 5%, 10% openness. Lower numbers block more UV. Higher numbers preserve more view.
Cordless Operation: Clean, simple cordless lift operation without cords taking up visual space.
Install Time: 15 to 20 minutes
We Recommend:
- Mount shades on south or west-facing windows to block afternoon heat and reduce air conditioning demands.
- Install on patio covers or deck areas to make outdoor spaces usable during the hottest parts of the day.
Considerations:
- Openness ratings indicate light transmission. Higher percentages allow more visibility but less heat blocking.
- Exterior mounting requires proper installation for secure, weather-resistant operation. Professional installation recommended.
- Outdoor fabrics are durable but require occasional cleaning. Check manufacturer guidelines for maintenance.
Optional Upgrades:
- Valance Options: Add valance customization to complete the finished appearance of your outdoor solar shade installation.
Child Safety:
Bali Outdoor Solar Shades feature cordless lift systems that eliminate dangling cords entirely. This design complies with CPSC child safety guidelines. Perfect for homes with children and pets.
