Enjoy the beauty of the outdoors without the heat and glare. Exterior Shades from Mr. Wilson are designed to provide powerful sun protection, privacy, and comfort — perfect for Arizona’s bright, hot climate.

Whether you’re looking to create a shaded patio, protect your windows from UV rays, or reduce heat inside your home, our custom exterior shades offer the ideal combination of style, strength, and performance. With over 25 years of experience, Mr. Wilson helps homeowners stay cool, comfortable, and energy-efficient all year long.

What Are Exterior Shades?

Exterior shades are mounted on the outside of your windows, patios, or porches to block sunlight before it enters your home. They’re made from durable, weather-resistant materials that filter heat and glare while still allowing you to enjoy your view.

Unlike interior window treatments, exterior shades stop solar heat before it reaches the glass — dramatically improving energy efficiency and indoor comfort. They’re perfect for patios, pergolas, sunrooms, or large windows that receive direct sunlight.

Energy Efficiency and UV Protection

Exterior shades are one of the most effective ways to improve energy efficiency in Arizona homes. By stopping sunlight before it hits your glass, they prevent heat buildup inside — reducing reliance on air conditioning and saving energy year-round.

They also block up to 99% of UV rays, protecting your home’s interior finishes and fabrics from fading and damage. Over time, this helps maintain the beauty and value of your home.
