Add retractable privacy and sun protection to your balcony, deck, porch, or patio
Horizontal shades are a unique and innovative shading solution that are pulled from the side to bring you side shade and privacy. They also act as a light wind screen by blocking the breeze.
Sun protection with retractable sun screens
Most shade products protect from the overhead sun, but the low angle rays of early morning and early evening can be just as harsh as the afternoon sun. Horizontal shades, also known as horizontal awnings, block these rays, keeping you and your family out of the sun and its glare. No more squinting into the sun while enjoying your morning coffee or evening glass of wine.
Choose from one of our five model options:
Estate: The Estate Awning is the most popular model that we offer. It adds welcome shade to decks and patios in a large range of sizes, protecting you and your family from the sun's heat and damaging rays.
Estate Slim-fit: Engineered and designed to fit narrow spaces, this model squeezes a lot of shade into small areas. The arms cross over each other when retracted, so its projection is not compromised by its width. It's ideal for apartment or condominium balconies, terraces, or places with limited mounting widths.
Manor: A full cassette on this awning model protects the fabric when not in use. The fabric is supported with a hood and tray, keeping it clear of dirt and debris, making it a great option for beachfront or lakeside homes.
Villa: Like the Manor, this model has a full cassette protecting the fabric when retracted. It is available in smaller mounting widths, and due to a different type of support in the awning frame, it does not require as much frame support.
Eko: This model offers quality shade at an affordable price. It offers many of the same features, benefits, and options as our other awning models, but there are less size options to choose from.
Privacy from your neighbors
In addition to sun protection, horizontal shades also have the added benefit of being privacy shades. They can act as a fabric wall between condominium balconies or a retractable privacy screen for townhomes. Simply pull out the shade from its side cassette and hook it onto either a wall or floor-mounted post anytime you need a little seclusion on your porch, deck, or patio. The fabric glides along a bottom wheel for easy, convenient operation.
