Mountain life means outdoor life. Extend your living space with heavy-duty E-Zip exterior shades that block 97% of UV rays and can lower covered area temperatures by up to 20 degrees.
We've been covering specialty and outdoor windows for over 30 years, and we've seen every unique shape, style, and design challenge WNC can throw at us. Don't limit yourself — we can cover outdoor living spaces, extremely tall windows that are hard to reach, and we can blend treatments into your current space, matching wood stain or paint.
We install weatherproof exterior shades on large windows to protect against sun damage and glare, and to maintain cooler interior temperatures during warmer months. For homes with south-facing or west-facing walls of glass, exterior shades make a dramatic difference in comfort and energy costs.
Have a separate outdoor patio or attached porch? Extend the good times long into the cooler months with exterior shades. Screened porches are one of WNC's favorite living spaces — exterior shades make them usable for more of the year.

Eclipse E-Zip Shades are engineered for exterior use and can handle significant wind loads. They're designed for WNC's mountain weather — blocking wind, rain, and UV while remaining durable season after season. We have multiple installations throughout the region on porches, decks, and outdoor living spaces.
Exterior shades can lower covered area temperatures by up to 20 degrees. They block 97% of UV rays before that energy hits your glass, which is far more effective than interior treatments alone. This also protects furniture from sun damage and reduces cooling costs.
Yes — most exterior shade installations include motorization for convenience and ease of use. Control with a remote, wall switch, or integrate with your smart home system. Motorization is especially practical for large spans (we've installed E-Zip shades up to 24 feet wide).
Screened porches are one of the most popular applications for exterior shades in WNC. They extend your usable porch season by blocking wind, reducing bugs and critters, and providing weather protection. Many homeowners use their screened porches year-round after adding exterior shades.
