Our Service Shades and Panels

Adding a vertical shade system to a fixed frame awning is a great way to add privacy and additional shade. Shade fabrics are similar to awning fabrics but with spacing in the weave to let air and light through. We can select the right fabric for the level of transparency you would like. Shade systems come in a variety of options, from fixed in place panels, to simple classic roll up shades, manual crank, and electronic motors with remote controls.
