Shade Screens

The material used for shade screens comes in a large variety of colors and sun protection properties. The extrusion used in the frames of shade screens can be matched to just about any screen color for a pleasing addition to your home. Shade screen material can also be used in a lot of different ways to shade and protect just about anything. From building privacy panels to wood framed covers over the garden we will give you lots of ideas. We will show you how to get the screens that will give you excellent outward visibility, provide insect protection, protect your property against fading and sun rot, provide daytime privacy and reduce glare.

The photo above shows shade screens being used as a privacy panel.  The screens block out the afternoon sun for a better patio experience.  The screens to the right show that size and shape of the window are not a problem.  Custom screens can be made to fit any window.   The frames in this photo are black to blend with the screen. There are many color options to choose from in both screen color and frame color. The shade qualities vary slightly with the color of the screen as we will learn later.
