About Dim Out Shades
Upgrade your outdoor experience with dim-out exterior shades. Relax in the shade, shielded from neighbors, while still enjoying the atmosphere of the outdoors. Dim-out fabric blocks the sun, offers complete privacy and glare protection, and lets you redefine your patio, deck or balcony as an oasis of relaxation.
What sets dim-out shades apart is how utility meets durability. Built to stand up to Florida weather and finished in a range of designs and colors, they transform your outdoor space into a stylish haven that beckons you outside — in any season.
Pair dim-out shades with see-through solar fabrics elsewhere on the lanai for the best of both worlds.
