Coolaroo Exterior Window Shades are the ideal solution for reducing temperatures within your home. Made from Coolaroo's unique knitted all weather fabric, they block the sun's UV rays yet still allow air to flow through. This breathable fabric not only significantly reduces temperatures behind the shade but still allows just the right amount of light transmission to ensure you can always see what's happening outside.

Like the kangaroo, the story of Coolaroo is uniquely Australian. Coolaroo fabric was developed in Australia over 50 years ago from tough, durable exterior grade materials to withstand the extreme weather conditions. Its design was also unique, a combination of yarns patterned to allow cooling breezes to pass through while repelling heat and the harmful effects of UV rays. The effect was dramatic. Homeowners began using Coolaroo as a shade fabric and later as a window shade to provide cooling relief during summer, making life more bearable and leading to the modern day Australian lifestyle.

Since those early days, Coolaroo has grown to become a truly global brand as homeowners in the United States and elsewhere soon discovered the benefits of owning a Coolaroo exterior sun shade. Through ongoing research and development, Coolaroo has adapted to new markets and weather conditions with fabric products that continue to offer homeowners with the best protection from heat and harmful UV rays that are also energy efficient and reduce power bills. 90% UV protection.
