Serving the Crystal Coast
Rolling shade curtains in Carteret County.
On a west-facing porch over Bogue Sound, the late-day sun comes in low and sideways — under the roofline, past the ceiling fans, right onto the dinner table. Wilmington Awning builds and installs exterior rolling shade curtains for Crystal Coast homes that crank down to block up to 90% of that solar heat, add instant privacy, and keep decks in Atlantic Beach and Salter Path comfortable straight through a July evening.
Outdoor shade, Crystal Coast
Cooler porches from Beaufort to Emerald Isle.
Overhead roofs handle the midday sun; it's the low morning and evening angles that make Carteret County porches unusable — especially on elevated beach cottages where there's nothing between you and the horizon. Mounted on the outside of a porch, deck, or sunroom, rolling shade curtains intercept that sun before it reaches your glass or your furniture. Wilmington Awning custom-sizes every curtain, from open-weave mesh that keeps the sea breeze and the view to solid acrylic that delivers full shade and privacy.
- Acrylic solid fabrics — rich, fade-resistant colors for full shade and maximum privacy on west- and south-facing exposures.
- Vinyl mesh fabrics — open-weave screens that knock down glare and heat while keeping the airflow and an outward view.
- Manual crank operation — a smooth hand crank rolls each curtain down and back up; no power outlet required.
- Weighted bottom bar & hold-down brackets — keep curtains taut and steady when the wind kicks up off the sound.
- Custom sizing — built to fit openings up to 18 ft wide and 12 ft tall, in a wide range of colors to match your trim.
