Solar Powered Sun Control

Just In Time For The Summer Heat

Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades - Modern Interior Design

Our Design Consultant, Kally Kilen, recently completed a patio shade project in Boulder, Colorado, helping a client make better use of their outdoor living space. The intense sun, heat, and UV rays made the patio uncomfortable during hot Colorado summers. The homeowner wanted a solution that would allow them to enjoy the space more often without sacrificing style.


Outdoor Living Comfort

To solve the issue, Kally recommended Insolroll Solar‑Powered Oasis 2800 patio shades, a popular choice for homeowners looking for patio shades in Boulder, Colorado. These outdoor patio shades use an exterior-grade solar screen fabric to reduce heat and glare while still allowing airflow and visibility. This makes the space much cooler and more comfortable throughout the day without sacrificing your view.

Application Details

The shades were designed with cable guides on each side, allowing a flexible fit within each opening of the patio. The white headboxes blend perfectly with the home’s white painted posts, keeping the look clean and seamless. These details help the patio shades feel like a natural extension of the outdoor living space.

Each shade is powered by an attached solar panel, eliminating the need for hardwiring, making them an ideal solution for outdoor retrofit installations. The result is a functional, comfortable patio that can be enjoyed all summer long. This project is a great example of how custom patio shades and outdoor shades in Boulder can dramatically improve comfort and usability in Colorado homes.
