Exterior Solar Shades for your Windows, Porch, Patio, or Sunroom
Discover this unique energy-saving shade. It installs on the exterior of your home or business to block the heat of the sun from the outside – before it has a chance to heat the window glass. This is the most efficient way to keep your home cooler, since the sun won’t have a chance to heat the window glass, and then heat your home. Although they’re installed on the exterior, they still operate from the inside with remote control technology.
A Shade Designed for Every Home
You can customize and design the solar shade of your dreams by choosing from our variety of models, sizes, options, and accessories. Each solar shade is custom designed to your specifications in our state-of-the-art facility in Souderton, Pennsylvania. Choose from one of the below guide options for your fabric:
- cable
- rod
- track
- captured edge
Our exterior solar shades are engineered and designed to give you the most attractive, durable product with the best protection available. Aristocrat Solar Shades bear the same reliability that Craft-Bilt has been known for since its founding in 1946. We’re recognized as experts in the design, production, and installation of shade products and have earned a reputation for manufacturing excellence throughout the industry. We continue to keep abreast of technological changes with training, new equipment, and innovative packaging. Our quality shades function seamlessly for years, and we stand behind them with a strong manufacturer’s warranty – limited lifetime warranty on frames and 12 years on fabrics from the Craft-Bilt fabric collection.
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.
