Shade screens in Carteret County.
Summer sun on the Crystal Coast comes at you twice — straight down on Bogue Banks beach cottages, then bounced back up off the water and white sand. Shade Coast installs exterior solar shade screens for homes from Emerald Isle to Pine Knoll Shores that block up to 99% of that sun, cutting glare and radiant heat while your porch keeps its breeze and its view of the sound.
Up to 99%
Sun Block
Solar fabrics stop beach-strength sun before it ever hits your glass or porch.
Cooler,
Lower Bills
Less radiant heat on the windows means the AC in your cottage works less.
Keep the
View
Open-weave fabrics kill the glare while the water stays in sight.
Dialed-in for Crystal Coast sun.
The openness of a shade fabric decides how much sun it stops versus how much view it keeps — and on the Crystal Coast the right answer changes by exposure. A west-facing soundfront deck in Cape Carteret needs a tighter weave than a shaded porch in Newport. Shade Coast helps you match the fabric to each opening, then you lower the screens by remote or wall switch as the sun swings around and raise them at dusk.
- Nano 95 & Nano 97 — tight, high-performance weaves for maximum sun and heat rejection on the harshest exposures.
- Textilene 80, 90 & 95 — proven solar mesh in a range of opennesses to balance shade against a clear view through.
- Dim Out 99 — near-blackout fabric for porches and rooms that need deep shade and privacy.
- Shadeview 95 & Specialty AME 97 — view-forward fabrics that cut glare while Bogue Sound stays in the picture.
