- Normally made in 8 business days
You've invested in covered patios, porches, or glass walls that blur the line between your interior and outdoor living. Direct summer sun challenges that vision, making spaces uncomfortably bright or hot when you want to enjoy them. Bali Outdoor Solar Shades resolve this by mounting on your home's exterior and filtering sunlight before it reaches your spaces. Engineered fabric reduces heat gain while maintaining transparent views, so you preserve your connection to the landscape without sacrificing comfort. Your interior rooms remain visibly bright and open, yet experience reduced solar transmission that cools them naturally. Spaces under covered structures become usable during hours that direct sun would otherwise make uncomfortable. You see clearly outward through the filtered light, with no sense of obstruction or darkening. You choose your level of performance through multiple openness ratings, from 1% for maximum UV and heat filtering to 10% for maximum view preservation. The outdoor fabric is engineered specifically for extended UV exposure, temperature swings, and weather conditions, maintaining its appearance and function year after year. The result is exterior and semi-exterior spaces that work beautifully for you while maintaining design refinement throughout the seasons.
Exterior Engineering: Mounted to home exterior, this design stops solar gain before it reaches interior spaces. Outdoor Living Refinement: Covered patios and porches become refined outdoor rooms during hours that would otherwise be too bright or hot.
Thermal Performance: Measurably reduces summer solar heat gain, extending comfort to outdoor living spaces and reducing interior cooling demands.
Furnishing Protection: Outdoor and interior furniture, flooring, and materials are protected from UV degradation and fading.
Weather Durability: Outdoor fabrics engineered for extended sun exposure, temperature swings, and weather conditions without deterioration.
Transparent Filtering: Light filtering maintains visual connection to exterior environment while eliminating harsh brightness and heat.
Calibrated Openness Ratings: 1%, 3%, 5%, 10% options allow precise balance between light transmission and thermal blocking.
Cordless Elegance: Cordless operation maintains clean visual lines without mechanical elements interrupting design.
Install Time: 15 to 20 minutes
We Recommend:
- Specify exterior mounting on south or west-facing elevations where direct solar gain most impacts interior comfort and cooling demands.
- Select lower openness ratings where UV protection of outdoor furnishings and materials justifies reduced visual transparency.
Considerations:
- Openness ratings represent light transmission percentage. Selection should reflect balance between visibility and thermal blocking priorities.
- Exterior mounting requires professional installation for weather-resistant operation and long-term durability.
- Outdoor fabrics maintain appearance with periodic cleaning. Consult specifications for material-specific maintenance guidance.
Optional Upgrades:
- Valance Options: Add valance customization to complete the finished appearance of your outdoor solar shade installation.
