Exterior Solar Shades Protect Your Outdoor Spaces from Uncomfortable Sunlight
The bright sunshine that saturates the San Fernando Valley makes it easy to soak up some vitamin D. However, it can also lead to annoying window glares and climbing temperatures inside your home, which can not only make for an uncomfortable living situation but also cause your energy bills to skyrocket. If you would like to protect your home’s interior from ever-present sunlight, frustrating glare, sun discoloration or damage, and overwhelming heat, then contact Galaxy Draperies to learn more about our exterior solar shades. These shades will protect the outside of your windows, patios, and cabanas, keeping light and heat from entering your home and uncomfortably raising temperatures.
Exterior Solar Shades Provide Reliable Protection
Visually and functionally similar to interior roller shades, exterior solar shades nestle along the top of your window or outdoor living area. When the sunshine shines its brightest and temperatures climb their highest, you can lower these shades in order to protect your living spaces and keep temperatures comfortable, which may help stress on your HVAC system and may even lower your monthly energy expenses.
What to Expect
When you partner with Galaxy Draperies, you can rest easy knowing our skilled and experienced team will expertly outfit your home with exterior solar shades that are attractive, durable, and easy to operate.
Our shades are a popular selection among homeowners as they effectively:
- Block up to 90% of sunlight and wind from reaching windows or outdoor areas
- Lower television or screen glare by diffusing the light that enters your space
- Preserve interior views due to a semi-opaque design
- Allow for easy operation with manual hand-crank, motorized, and solar-powered motorized lines
- Protect your wood floors, furniture, art, and other aspects of your home from being damaged or discolored by the sun
And best of all, these exterior solar shades possess a subtle profile, boast clean lines, and maintain a sleek appearance that can enhance the appearance of any space. When we install these shades, you can rest assured that solar protection won’t sacrifice your Los Angeles home’s aesthetics.
What We Offer
At Galaxy Draperies, we are dedicated to quality. Therefore, we proudly install exterior solar shades crafted by industry-leading manufacturers such as SunSetter® EasyShades®. These shades not only possess all of the aforementioned features and benefits—they also don’t require installation by an electrician as they are controlled via a battery pack or solar power, an eco-friendly and money-saving option.
Motorization is a smart option as it makes controlling difficult-to-reach windows a cinch. And with the simple press of a button, you can open and close your exterior solar shades, with no cord necessary. This is an added bonus for homeowners with small children and pets, as a cord presents as a dangerous strangulation hazard.

What People Say About Us
"From scheduling our appointment to meeting with our designer, Bernadette, and the installer, Alfredo, we were met with professionalism and comforted in knowing we were dealing with people who knew what they were doing. Arrival times were well within the two-hour window. Bernadette shared her knowledge and expertise to help us choose the window treatments that best fit our needs and budget. We are so pleased with the final result and look forward to covering the rest of the window in our home."
"My wife and I recently moved and were in the market for new shades for our bathroom , living room and kitchen . We didn't really have a set vision so it was unbelievable when our designer Karen went through all the possibilities and showed us what would work well with the setup . Karen was not only very professional , she was personable and super knowledgeable about the products. I wish I could have her design the rest of our house ! Great product , great designer, great experience!"
"I would like to say that Galaxy Draperies was the best choice we've made. We recently purchased a new home and wanted to thank Bernadette for the amazing service she provided. I was referred to her by my sister, which also happened to purchase through you guys. Not only did Bernadette make me feel comfortable but it felt like I was working with family."
"Ordered Roman Shades for five windows. Designer who came to our home was nice and professional, Roman Shades arrived on time, the installation was handled by their installer who called and asked if he could come by earlier than our appointment, which was great. He was friendly, professional and did a great job! Highly recommend this company."
"I had a great experience with Galaxy. The designer presented me with several options and was very helpful in designing my window treatments. The installers were very professional, courteous, and careful! I will definitely use them in the future!"
