01 Why Exterior Wins

Exterior beats interior.

Once sunlight passes through the glass, the heat is already inside — interior blinds and films can only reflect what's left. An exterior solar screen stops the energy on the outside, before it becomes heat in the room. The U.S. Department of Energy rates exterior shading the most effective way to cut solar heat gain.

EZ Snap® Thermo Weave is a tight-woven solar mesh that does exactly that — and snaps off whenever you want the light and the view back.

04Questions

What are exterior window shades?

Exterior window shades mount on the outside of the window, so they stop the sun's heat before it passes through the glass. EZ Snap® Thermo Weave is a woven solar mesh that blocks up to 90% of solar heat — and the U.S. Department of Energy rates exterior shading the most effective way to cut solar heat gain.

Will they damage my windows, siding or RV?

No. The EZ Snap studs bond to the frame with 3M™ VHB adhesive — no drilling into glass, siding, fiberglass or aluminum, and nothing that voids a window warranty.

Black or white mesh?

Black blocks up to ~90% of solar heat and is best for hot, sunny exposures. White is a more open weave — more daylight and outward view, with less heat blocked.

What sizes are there, and how are they priced?

Two ways to buy: 20 ready-made precut sizes with the snaps included, or a 6 ft-wide roll in six lengths (3/6/10/15/20/25 ft) you cut to fit. The full price list is on the shade pricing page.

Can I take them off in winter?

Yes. Unsnap the mesh, roll it, and store it — the studs stay put, so you can snap it back any time. Free shipping over $225.
