Exterior Sun Shades

Blocking the sun before it enters a window is the most effective way to reduce heat gain. Exterior sun shades roll down when you need heat protection and roll up when you don’t.

Oasis® 2900 exterior sun shades keep homes cool!

Oasis® 2900 Exterior Sun Shades are the perfect window solution for extreme sun exposures. Exterior solar screen sun shades reduce heat gain significantly through windows and door while lowering energy costs for air conditioning. Oasis 2900 Exterior Window Shades utilize a zipper system in the side track to hold the fabric in place.

Oasis 2900 zipper system is also utilized as retractable insect screen

Exterior sun shades block the sun, before it enters the window

Utilizing a European concept, exterior solar window shades mount on the outside of the windows. Mounting shades on the outside blocks up to 97% of the heat and UV rays before the sun enters through the window.  The bulk of the heat is either absorbed by the screen and then dissipated or reflected.

Exterior sun shades with solar screen Fabric are like sunglasses for windows

Like sunglasses for your windows, Oasis® 2900 Exterior Window Shades enhance the view by filtering the sun and reducing unwanted glare. These exterior solar screen shades provide a clean look from the inside.  Exterior shades can be combined with any style of interior decorative window treatment. Dark fabrics provide the best view through characteristics in exterior roller shades.

Passive solar control

Control heat gain by rolling down exterior solar sun shades on hot days to block the heat and rolling the shade up when you don’t need it. In some climates you may prefer to have shades retracted to maximize solar heat gain in the winter.

Exterior solar Screen shades are custom made for windows and doors.

There’s no need to settle for ill-fitting exterior shades. Oasis Exterior Shades are custom made to fit windows and doors up to 19′ wide.

How exterior solar shades work

Solar shades on the outside of the window are highly effective because they stop sun rays before they enter the glass, keeping it from heating up. The inside of your home stays more comfortable, and cooling costs are reduced.
