Serving Summerville, Charleston, and surrounding Lowcountry areas, we deliver tailored shading solutions that withstand the weather and turn your space into something exceptional.
Make Outdoor Living Enjoyable with Exterior Shading Solutions
Built for the South Carolina Climate. Crafted for Comfort and Style.
Outdoor window treatments—like exterior shades and screens—are specially crafted to protect your outdoor areas from harsh sun, wind, rain, and insects. Designed using durable fabrics, sealed headboxes, and weather-rated components, these systems operate like a barrier between your living space and the elements, letting you enjoy your view without compromising on comfort or protection.
In a warm, humid region like Charleston, SC, where summers are long and bugs come with the breeze, having high-quality exterior window treatments is more than a luxury—it’s a necessity. With the right setup, you’ll gain powerful sun control, reduce solar heat gain, and create a more livable outdoor area.
Our shades and screens are built to shield your patio or business from glare, withstand storms, and block unwanted pests—all while complementing your exterior aesthetic.

Modern Shades offers a full range of outdoor window solutions for both residential and commercial spaces. We proudly partner with trusted names like Alta and Draper Inc. to bring you premium quality and long-lasting performance.
Outdoor Shades
Outdoor shades provide sleek, modern coverage for patios, pergolas, and windows. What sets them apart? Their ability to block the sun and reduce heat while maintaining your outdoor view—perfect for creating a stylish, shaded retreat without sacrificing visibility.
Exterior Window Screens
Exterior window screens serve as a flexible solution for insect protection, light filtering, and weather control. Their standout feature? A tight weave and sealed track system that offers full enclosure while maintaining airflow and comfort.
Take Your Outdoor Experience to the Next Level with Motorization
Motorized exterior shades and screens bring ease and efficiency to your outdoor spaces. With the press of a button—or a preset smart schedule—you can instantly lower screens to block intense sun, reduce glare, or shield your space from wind and rain. Ideal for Charleston homeowners and business owners who value convenience, motorized systems ensure your comfort is never more than a remote or app away.
Beyond automation, customization options include fabric selections with various openness levels for precise light control, dual-shade combinations for added versatility, and even branded printing—ideal for storefronts or commercial patios. Whether you’re outfitting a backyard oasis or a bustling café, motorized exterior window treatments offer the control, style, and durability you need.
