Updating Your Patio: Pull Down Shades and More
A patio is an extension of a home's living space, and so deserves just as much attention as any other room. Plus, there is no better time to update your patio than during the Spring, when its still chilly but nice enough to work outside. Diana's Blinds & Designs interior decorating team can help you design custom window treatments to turn that outdoor space of your patio into a home sanctuary.
Pretty, Perfect: Patio Pull Down Shades
Patio pull-down shades, also known as roller shades, are a practical solution for controlling sunlight and maintaining comfortable temperatures. We feature a variety of shades in this style by Hunter Douglas, offering advanced features and designer patterns not available in other shades. We recommend them for patios because they reduce glare, block harmful UV rays, and let you enjoy your patio without worrying about too much sun exposure.
You can effortlessly adapt to changing weather with the flexibility to lower or raise the shades exactly as you see fit. Create a shaded retreat during scorching Carolina summer days or let in natural light on cooler afternoons – the choice is all yours.
Hunter Douglas Roll Down Shades for Patios
Diana's Blinds & Designs offers fabulous roll-down shades for patios, including:
- Sonnette® Roller Shades: This clever design combines a roller shade with energy-efficient honeycomb shades. It's available in over 50 fabrics and colors.
- Designer Roller Shades: With its smooth operation and streamlined appearance, these roller shades work well in patios and come in over 370 fabric and color combinations.
- Designer Banded Shades: Many clients turn to Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades for unique, elegant window coverings. These patio pull-down shades feature layered, adjustable solid, and sheer fabric bands.
- Alustra® Architectural Roller Shades have a Roman shade aesthetic, enhanced with exclusive textural fabrics available in over 40 fabrics and colors.
- Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades are artfully designed and feature globally sourced fabrics.
What are Shade Screens for Patios?
We recommend these Hunter Douglas Designer Solar Shades to clients with patios that get excessive sunlight. Solar shades protect your patio from harsh UV rays while letting you enjoy the view from your windows. They feature sustainable GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ materials in five opacities and over 130 fabrics and colors. We can customize them with decorative accents or the Hunter Douglas Dual Roller design.
Customizing Roll-Down Shades for Patios
During your consultation, we'll help you select patio pull-down shades to fit your patio doors or windows. Certain window treatments are better suited for doors, and we can customize many styles for odd-shaped windows, such as bays and angles.
Once you've selected, we'll explain the different control options available in that style. For instance, Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades offer these choices of operating systems:
- Beaded Loop: A clutch-operated cord loop uses a pulley design to open and close your roller shades.
- UltraGlide®: A single retractable cord or wand that stays at a constant length without long, dangling cords for enhanced child and pet safety.
- LiteRise®: Push up or pull down on the shades with your hand instead of using a cord
- Cordless Lifting System: This classic spring-assisted system is hidden within the headrail.
- SoftTouch® Motorization: Adjust the shades with a quick push or pull.
- PowerView® Automation: Move your patio shades with a remote control, phone app, or voice commands; you can also program them to open, close, or adjust when you're not home.
