Don’t Let the South Texas Sun Ruin Your Home

Q

Cheap Blinds Melt & warp

It’s not just heat; it’s intense heat. Standard vinyl blinds from big box stores can actually melt, sag, or yellow in a San Antonio summer window. We install premium heat-resistant composite products engineered to hold their shape even when it’s 105° outside.

Q

Sky-High AC Bills

If your windows aren’t shaded, your AC unit has to run 24/7 to keep up. Gaps in cheap blinds let solar heat pour in. Our insulating shutters and shades act as a thermal shield, significantly lowering your cooling costs during our long summer season.

Q

Hard Water Stains on Glass

San Antonio has some of the hardest water in the country. Sprinklers hitting your windows leave calcium deposits that are hard to clean. Our exterior solar screens block the water before it hits the glass, keeping your windows cleaner and protecting the glass from etching.

Now that’s easy, call now!

The Durable Choice for San Antonio

Made in the Shade brings the showroom to you—serving Boerne, Schertz, and Cibolo—so you get products built for our climate, expert advice, and a perfect fit every time.

Motorized Window Shades

Smart Cooling for South Texas

Your AC works hard enough. Give it a break with our motorized solar shades. Program them to lower during the hottest part of the afternoon to block heat gain, or close them for privacy when you get home from work. It’s the smartest way to keep your home cool in Helotes or Stone Oak.

The Hill Country Look

Nothing matches the limestone architecture of Boerne or New Braunfels like custom plantation shutters. They provide a timeless, upscale look while offering the best thermal insulation of any window treatment. Our shutters are built to last, never warping in the heat or fading in the sun.

Exterior Shades

Enjoy Your Patio Year-Round

San Antonio is made for outdoor living. Our motorized exterior screens block the intense sun and keep mosquitoes away, turning your covered patio into a comfortable extension of your home. Enjoy a family BBQ in Spring Branch without the sweat or the bugs.

Absolutely loved my experience! I couldn’t be happier with my new shutters and top-down/bottom-up shades. The team was extremely professional, punctual, and reliable. Everything was done exactly as promised, with great attention to detail. Excellent service from start to finish. Highly recommend!

I don’t even know where to start! EVERY aspect of our experience was exceptional! We had two rooms with a tricky configuration. I knew what I wanted,, and Jen, Carrie, Josh, Gus, and Raul brought it to life! This group/company is the best. I shopped around, and when others said no way..can’t be done, Made in the Shade said YES..we can do that! Thank you for the wonderful experience, your professionalism, and making my home look so good! Can’t wait to do more!

Our experience with Made in the Shade was wonderful from the start. Michael Hart was a great Design Consultant. I love someone who will offer their opinion when you ask them for it, and Michael did that. The fabric shades in our dining area are beautiful and just what was needed in that area. His measurements for the shutters in our master bedroom and guest bedroom were “spot on” for a great fit. I also thought our installer Paulie was top notch.

Jan, the interior designer, has an excellent taste. She helped us to pick the color (Llama 5801) of the blinds by looking around the living room furniture, cushions etc. We really like how it turned out- gives soft look to the room. Call Jan if you are thinking of replacing your window coverings!

Window Fashions for the South Texas Climate

Living in San Antonio means dealing with intense heat, hard water, and bright sun. Our collection is curated for the Hill Country lifestyle. From heat-blocking solar shades that lower your CPS Energy bill to limestone-matching shutters that add timeless style, we have the durable solutions your home needs.

Shades

Your best defense against the San Antonio summer. Our solar roller shades block the heat before it enters your home, significantly reducing your AC usage. For bedrooms, our cellular honeycomb shades provide an insulating barrier that keeps your room cool in August and cozy during our occasional winter freezes.

Shutters

The architectural standard for Hill Country homes. Plantation shutters add permanent value and curb appeal, perfectly complementing the stone and stucco exteriors of Boerne and Bulverde. Our composite shutters are heat-resistant and will never warp, crack, or fade in the intense Texas sun.

Blinds

Get the look of wood without the sun damage. Our faux wood blinds are engineered to withstand high UV exposure without yellowing or becoming brittle. They are a practical, durable option for outfitting an entire new home in Schertz or Cibolo, offering precise light control at a great value.

Outdoor Shades

Make your patio usable again. Our motorized exterior solar screens block the harsh afternoon sun, lowering the temperature on your covered porch by up to 15 degrees. They also protect your windows from hard water stains caused by sprinklers, keeping your glass cleaner for longer.

Drapery

Add softness and texture to your home. Custom drapery panels are the perfect way to frame large picture windows in Stone Oak or The Dominion. Layer them over blinds for a sophisticated look that adds an extra thermal barrier against the heat and improves acoustics in rooms with tile floors.

Decorative Grilles

Enhance your home’s Spanish or Mediterranean style. Faux iron grilles are a stunning addition to arched windows or entry doors common in San Antonio architecture. They provide the look of custom wrought iron without the rust or heavy weight, adding instant “Old World” charm to your facade.
