Case Study: One Click to Comfort — How This Folsom Patio Beat the Heat with Motorized Sun Shades

Introduction

Ever wish you could enjoy your backyard without the blazing sun or that afternoon glare? In Folsom, CA, one homeowner had the same thought—until they discovered motorized sun shades. With just one click, their outdoor space turned from sun-scorched to serene. No tugging. No tangled cords. Just smooth, quiet movement with the press of a remote or a tap on their phone.


Beat The Heat With Apollo Motorized Sun Shades.

Project Overview

This Folsom homeowner loved their west-facing patio, but the intense afternoon sun made it almost unusable. The goal was simple: reduce heat and glare without ruining the open-air feel or the view. After seeing our motorized sun shades in action, the client knew this was the right solution.

They wanted something that blended in during the day and disappeared at night, with zero hassle.


 

Installation Process

We started with a custom site visit to take exact measurements—because when it comes to sun shades, fit matters. After selecting a breathable mesh fabric that blocks sunlight but allows airflow, our factory-trained team handled the full install.

We mounted the motor discreetly under the roofline to preserve the clean look of the patio and programmed the remote and phone controls for easy operation. The motorized shade now glides down smoothly and stops exactly where the homeowner wants it—every time.


Benefits Realized

  • Cooler Afternoons – The patio is now a comfortable spot even at peak sun hours

  • Push-Button Simplicity – Remote + phone control = no effort required

  • UV Defense – Shades protect patio furniture from fading

  • Unblocked View – The mesh blocks the sun, not the scenery

  • Discreet Appearance – When not in use, the shade practically vanishes
