Shades By Design Outdoor FAQs

Can outdoor shades really withstand Florida's weather and hurricanes?

Absolutely. We specialize in high-performance outdoor shading, including certified hurricane shades engineered to protect your home during the most severe weather. Our solutions are crafted from marine-grade materials to resist salt, sun, and moisture. This ensures your investment is both beautiful and durable.

Will motorized outdoor shades look bulky and ruin my patio's aesthetic?

Not at all. Our systems are designed for a seamless integration. They feature sleek cassettes and hidden components that blend into your architecture. As Somfy Experts, we provide powerful, quiet, and discreet motorization that enhances your luxury outdoor living space without compromising on style.

How do your insect screens work without being an eyesore?

Our motorized insect screens provide complete protection at the touch of a button and retract completely out of sight when not in use. Using an innovative zipper-track technology, the screens are held taut and secure within the frame. This prevents any gaps and ensures a clean, unobtrusive look that preserves your views.

Is it worth the investment to motorize my pergola or patio shades?

Motorization transforms your outdoor space from an area you occasionally use to a true extension of your home. With automated sun, wind, and rain sensors, your shades can operate themselves, providing effortless protection and climate control. This convenience significantly increases the usability and value of your property, and all of our Somfy motors come with a 5-year warranty for your peace of mind.

I have a uniquely shaped balcony. Can you create a custom solution?

Customization is our specialty. Our in-house team of experts excels at designing and installing tailored solutions for even the most challenging architectural spaces. We begin with a free on-site consultation to measure and design a system that perfectly fits your balcony’s unique dimensions and your specific needs.
