Custom motorized shades in Woodland Hills

Shades in Woodland Hills homes

The flats around Walnut Acres and Vista de Oro are full of ranch houses with wide western exposure and shallow eaves — a combination that puts direct sun on glass for the entire second half of the day.

Up in the hills and toward Carlton Terrace the houses are larger and the exposure is worse, because there is nothing between the glass and the sky. Those are the properties where exterior shades start to make more sense than interior ones, since stopping the sun outside the window beats stopping it inside.

Around Warner Center the stock shifts to newer condominiums and townhomes with floor-to-ceiling glass and building rules about exterior appearance. That usually means interior solar shades with a neutral exterior face.

Where exterior shades beat interior ones

An interior shade stops light after it has already passed the glass and become heat in the room. An exterior shade stops it before. On a badly exposed Woodland Hills elevation that difference is large enough to feel, which is why we quote exterior more often here than anywhere else.
