Our retractable shades drop down when you need them and disappear when you don’t. Control the sun on your terms — with a remote, wall switch, or smartphone app.
Motorized Retractable Shades
Central Florida sun is relentless. By mid-afternoon, your covered lanai, patio, or outdoor kitchen can become unbearable — and the UV exposure fades furniture, flooring, and finishes over time.
Our motorized retractable shades solve both problems. They block direct sun and reduce heat while maintaining airflow and visibility. When the sun moves or conditions change, retract them with one tap. No manual effort, no permanent obstruction — just shade when you want it.
New Horizons has been designing and installing custom shade solutions across Central Florida since 2003. Every system is built to fit your specific space and installed by our own trained crews.
Shade Solutions for Every Space
Our retractable shades work on covered lanais, patios, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and even directly in front of windows. Here’s how homeowners use them:
Covered Lanais & Patios
Block the late afternoon sun that makes your outdoor space unusable. Shades drop down on the west or south side to create comfortable conditions — then retract when you want the open feel back.
Windows & Glass Doors
Install shades directly in front of large windows or sliding glass doors to block heat before it enters your home. This reduces cooling costs and protects interiors from UV damage — without giving up natural light when you want it.
Outdoor Kitchens & Summer Kitchens
Protect your grill area, countertops, and seating from direct sun and heat. Shades also help keep outdoor appliances and finishes from fading.
Pool Areas & Screen Enclosures
Already have a screen enclosure? No problem. We can install shades inside or outside your existing cage to add sun control without replacing anything.
Double Duty Protection
Our retractable shades don’t just block sun — depending on the fabric you choose, they can also:
- Block insects — Some shade fabrics double as insect screens, keeping bugs out while reducing sun exposure
- Reduce wind and light rain — Certain products can protect outdoor furniture and flooring from wind-driven rain and debris
- Add privacy — Shades can block sightlines from neighbors or the street without feeling closed in
We’ll help you choose the right fabric and configuration for your specific goals.
Shade Fabrics for Every Need
We offer a range of shade fabrics with different levels of sun blocking, visibility, and airflow. During your consultation, we’ll show you samples and help you select the right option based on:
- How much light you want to block (partial shade vs. blackout)
- Whether you want to maintain visibility through the shade
- If you need insect protection in addition to sun control
- Your color and aesthetic preferences
