Exterior Window Treatment Options for your Home
We are all familiar with the benefits of installing shades or curtains on our windows. People have been using these methods to control light, heat, and privacy since homes were created. Interior window treatments are commonplace, but what benefits exist for purchasing window treatments for the exterior of your home?
What is an Exterior Window Treatment?
An exterior window treatment is any product added to the outside of your home around the windows. There are multiple reasons for purchasing an exterior window treatment including curb appeal, interior temperature control, and energy efficiency.
Give your home some added curb appeal or accent to your patio or gazebo with these inspiring outdoor window treatments.
Exterior Roller Shades
Exterior roller shades for covering windows, decks, porches, pergolas and other outdoor patio structures are great. These systems are designed to control heat and glare while maintaining the view of the outdoors. The benefits of solar screen shades make them a clear choice for this extension of residential and commercial window treatments. They reduce glare, reduce heat in both indoor and outdoor spaces, preserves your connection with the outdoors, and can be motorized for easy, on-demand shading.

Should You Purchase Awnings for Your Exterior Windows?
Now that you understand what exterior window treatments are, you might be wondering why you should consider installing them outside your home? Here are some benefits to investing in awnings, one of our favorite exterior options:
- Sun Damage – While everyone enjoys a great view and the joy of natural sunlight, it can be tough on your upholstery, flooring, and furniture. An awning will block some of the harshest sunlight, preventing sun damage to fabrics and furniture.
- Temperature Control – Everyone, at some point, has dealt with the dilemma of temperature control indoors. While your windows let in a lot of beautiful, natural light – this also comes with additional heat. Being able to control parts of your house that receive excessive light and heat during the hottest parts of the day could help you lower energy costs while reducing wear and tear on your air conditioning unit.
- Shade with a View – The only good way to block excessive sunlight and heat indoors is to close your shades or curtains to block out the light. However, that also blocks the view! What if you could keep your view but also protect your home from all that extra sunlight and heat? Awnings are the solution to this problem.
