Take Back Your Porch From the Sun with Exterior Solar Shades
A screened-in porch can protect you from bugs, but it can also turn your space into an uncomfortable heat trap. Exterior Solar Shades stop the heat before heating up your windows, giving you a noticeably more usable and comfortable space even on the brightest and hottest days of the summer.
Outdoor spaces are supposed to feel relaxing. If your porch only feels good after sunset, you’re not alone. Our exterior shades block 65% of the heat and 100% of the glare, so you can actually enjoy the view without squinting or retreating back inside.

Very Pleased
“We added vista window film to our living room and bedroom windows, all face East and the morning sun just bakes those rooms. Now much better with the tint, and we still have the great view of the lake. Very pleased with everyone involved, from our initial meeting with Jeff to the installation team of Erasmo and Drew. Great job!”

Highly recommend
“Erasmo did a fabulous job of installing 7mil exterior film on our golf course facing windows. (hope it helps to prevent window breakage from errant golf shots). He was polite, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. I have used Sun Shades and Graphics before and am very pleased with this company. I highly recommend them!!”

Wonderful
“Erasmo was wonderful. Came onsite to provide an estimate but also brought everything with him in case we said yes. They started work right away and were done in an hour. Had a UV tint put on a large window and had our entryway doors frosted. Will definitely use them again if we decide to tint more. They also gave me a quote while onsite for a patio screen.”

Perfect
“Super experience. Got a quote quickly and install a couple of days later. They were on time and professional to a “T”. Using Sun Shades and Graphics was exactly what I was looking for, and the finished product was perfect for my sunroom. My installer, Drew, was friendly, professional and left the area spotless. I would highly recommend.”
