Why Shade Matters for Your Outdoor Living Space
Lancaster County living means long summer days, vibrant sunsets, and plenty of reasons to be outside. But when the sun becomes too strong or you need a little privacy, the right shade solution makes all the difference.
Outdoor window treatments like Exterior Patio Shades and Retractable Awnings:
- Protect your outdoor furniture from fading
- Provide a cooler space to relax in
- Block harsh UV rays without losing the view
- Add privacy without enclosing the area
- Extend your home’s usable square footage
Popular Outdoor Shade Options for Lancaster Homes
Exterior Patio Shades
Perfect for porches, patios, sunrooms, and pergolas. These sleek, modern shades can block glare, heat, and even bugs when fitted with side channels. Plus, they come in varying openness factors so you can choose how much light and visibility you want.
We proudly offer patio shades by Insolroll—known for their high-performance solar fabrics and smart home automation integration.
Retractable Awnings
Want shade only when you need it? Retractable awnings are a smart, space-saving option. With motorized controls (yes, you can control them from your phone!), you can block the sun in the heat of the day and retract them to stargaze at night.
Our retractable awnings are crafted with weather-resistant fabrics and durable frames from trusted names like Graber and Alta Window Fashions.
Style Meets Technology
Modern outdoor living space shades are more than just fabric—they’re high-performance systems. Here’s what sets ours apart:
- Cordless & Motorized Lift: Safer for families, sleek in design.
- Home Automation Integration: Control your shades with a remote, app, or voice command.
- All-Weather Materials: UV, wind, and moisture-resistant fabrics that stand up to Pennsylvania weather.
- Custom Sizing & Colors: Tailored to match your exterior and meet your needs.
Whether you’re dreaming of a soft neutral shade that blends into your deck or a bold pop of color to complement your patio set, we’ve got you covered.
Ideal Places to Use Relaxing Outdoor Shades
Think beyond the back patio—exterior shades and awnings work great for:
- Screened-in Porches: Get more use out of this transitional space.

- Balconies or Rooftop Decks: Increase privacy and sun protection.
