Village South's architectural style and spacious lots make exterior patio shades an ideal upgrade. Many homes feature expansive decks and outdoor entertaining spaces that experience intense afternoon sun exposure. Our shades address the specific challenge of enjoying these premium outdoor spaces during peak heat hours. Kansas summers bring significant UV radiation that damages furniture and fades materials—our solutions block up to 97% of UV rays while maintaining visibility. Residents appreciate motorized options that integrate with smart home systems, allowing convenient control from inside their homes. Wind resistance is critical for our area's occasional spring storms, and our shades are engineered for durability. Most Village South projects combine aesthetic enhancement with practical temperature control, extending the outdoor season from spring through fall.
