From the scenic waterfronts of St. Petersburg and Clearwater to the quiet neighborhoods of Riverview, Apollo Beach, and Wesley Chapel, Tampa Bay homeowners cherish outdoor living. But the same sunshine and breezes that define our region can also bring heat, glare, humidity, and relentless mosquitoes.
That’s where motorized retractable shades from West Shore Shade make all the difference.
These innovative shading systems let you enjoy your porches, patios, balconies, or lanais year-round. With one touch, you can block harsh sunlight, keep out bugs, and cool down your living space — all while maintaining your view of Tampa Bay’s beauty.
Motorized retractable shades are automated shading systems designed for patios, lanais, pergolas, decks, and large window openings. They use a quiet electric motor to raise and lower high-quality mesh or fabric screens with the push of a button, remote, or smart app.
Unlike traditional fixed screens, motorized shades disappear completely when not in use, preserving open views and clean architecture. When you need shade, privacy, or bug protection — simply lower them and relax.
West Shore Shade installs customized systems built specifically for Tampa Bay’s coastal climate — where humidity, salt air, and intense UV exposure demand superior materials and engineering.
With Tampa Bay’s ever-changing weather, convenience is everything. Motorized shades can be lowered instantly as the sun heats up or raised again when you want open air.
They’re controlled via:
This is outdoor living, simplified — no strings, cords, or manual mechanisms.
From South Tampa’s historic homes to the modern builds in Wesley Chapel, most local houses feature outdoor living spaces. The challenge? They’re often too hot or buggy to enjoy year-round.
Motorized retractable shades turn your patio, lanai, or pool deck into a flexible, climate-controlled retreat:
You gain a space that feels like an extra room — perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or working from home.
Tampa Bay receives more than 240 sunny days each year. That’s great for the beach — but tough on your furniture and floors.
West Shore Shade’s UV-blocking fabrics can filter out up to 97% of solar radiation, protecting interior furnishings, wood floors, and art from fading.
At the same time, these shades keep indoor temperatures cooler, easing the strain on your A/C system.
Whether you live in Clearwater Beach, Downtown Tampa, or Apollo Beach, privacy can be tricky when homes sit close together. Motorized shades offer daytime privacy while maintaining visibility outward — you see your view, but neighbors can’t easily see in.
Even better, the look is clean and elegant, enhancing your home’s architectural design.
Homebuyers in Tampa Bay are drawn to comfort, technology, and usable outdoor spaces. Motorized shades check all three boxes — they’re a modern, high-end feature that increases your home’s appeal and resale value.
They also signal that your property has been cared for with attention to quality and detail.
By blocking sunlight before it reaches your windows, retractable shades can lower indoor temperatures by 10–15°F during the hottest months.
That translates to reduced cooling costs, less wear on your HVAC system, and more comfortable rooms year-round.
In other words: you’ll feel the difference — and so will your utility bill.
