5 Shade Solutions

HAYWARD — When selecting a shade solution for your home or business, you have several options to choose from. Consider the following shade solutions:

Awnings
The most traditional shade solution, awnings provide rain protection and shade for patios, entryways and windows. They’re available in different styles, including fabric or metal standing seam, as well as stationary or retractable. Retractable awnings can be motorized to open and close via remote control.

Canopies
Canopies are similar to awnings but they extend further out to shade larger areas. This makes them ideal for commercial entrances, boat and RV covers, pools, patios, and decks. Like awnings, canopies can be fabric or metal as well as stationary or retractable.

Shade sails
Shade sails provide a modern and visually engaging alternative to more traditional shade solutions. Their open geometric designs can be configured in many ways to accommodate large areas without obstructing traffic or requiring a building attachment for support.

Vertical screens
Exterior vertical screens are a good choice for limited space areas or when shade is required for windows only. Vertical screens are available in solid fabric or mesh and can be motorized for convenient operation.

Roman shades
Exterior Roman shades are a low-profile shade option that can be installed onto any freestanding wood or metal pergola. Available in solid fabric or mesh, Roman shades are fully adjustable and easily detachable for removal as needed.
