Roller Shades

Premium Shade Solutions for Business Environments

Elevate your commercial property's outdoor spaces with commercial-grade roller shades by Goodwin‑Cole.

Our exterior roller shades deliver exceptional sun protection, privacy, and aesthetic appeal, ensuring guest comfort and enhancing business performance. Ideal for restaurants, hotels, retail storefronts, and corporate campuses, these roller shades are precision-engineered to balance stylish sophistication with lasting functionality.

Mounting Options

Our versatile mounting solutions allow your commercial roller shades to integrate seamlessly into any building structure:

Wall Mounted

Mounted directly to your building's exterior, wall-mounted roller shades offer streamlined coverage for restaurant patios, retail storefronts, and hospitality areas—providing effective shade without sacrificing floor space or obstructing views.

Ceiling Mounted

Ideal for outdoor dining areas, hotel terraces, or business entrances, soffit-mounted shades discreetly integrate into architectural overhangs, delivering efficient shade coverage while preserving clear lines of sight and an uncluttered appearance.

Recessed Mounted

For an exceptionally clean and minimalistic look, recessed roller shades are seamlessly integrated into custom-designed architectural recesses, ensuring shades disappear entirely from view when retracted—perfect for upscale hospitality venues and luxury retail spaces.

Roller Shade Types

Cable-guided roller shades utilize durable stainless steel guide wires, ensuring reliable performance even in breezy conditions. They offer unobstructed views and minimal hardware intrusion, ideal for outdoor restaurant seating, hotel balconies, or modern architectural facades requiring sleek aesthetics with maximum durability.

Engineered for ultimate weather resistance and stability, storm rail shades use specialized zipper-track systems to secure fabric edges firmly in place. This style is excellent for restaurants, hotels, or event spaces requiring consistent outdoor usage—even in strong wind or adverse conditions. The secure, tensioned fabric creates a fully sealed enclosure, enhancing guest comfort and protection.

Free-hanging shades provide a versatile, cost-effective solution for outdoor shading. Easy to operate and featuring minimal hardware, these shades are popular among cafés, casual dining areas, and retail storefronts—providing sun and glare control without the need for extensive framing or complex installations.

Operation

Our rope-and-pulley roller shades combine traditional charm with reliable functionality. This manual, straightforward system allows you to easily raise and lower shades by pulling a cord, ideal for smaller, lightweight installations or when cost-effectiveness and simple operation are priorities.

Featuring robust, heavy-duty hand cranks, manual shades provide a simple and reliable method for adjusting shade height. Ideal for smaller commercial installations or spaces with limited electrical access, manual operation ensures dependable functionality and long-term durability.

Motorized shades deliver seamless convenience, precision, and control through remote switches, wall-mounted controllers, or smartphone integration. Perfect for larger shade installations and busy hospitality venues, motorized systems allow effortless adjustments to respond quickly to changing weather conditions, guest preferences, and operational needs.

Fabric Options

Commercial roller shades from Goodwin-Cole are available in an extensive array of premium outdoor-rated fabrics, carefully selected for their performance, aesthetics, and durability in commercial settings. Our fabrics include solution-dyed acrylic, vinyl-coated polyester, and advanced solar screen materials—all designed to resist fading, moisture, mildew, and wear under high-usage conditions.

Transparency options allow precise control over views, natural lighting, and privacy. Choices range from nearly transparent fabrics that maintain visibility and daylight to semi-transparent, translucent, and fully opaque blackout materials. These variations provide exceptional flexibility to hospitality venues, restaurants, and retail spaces, allowing tailored light management that enhances comfort and ambiance throughout the day.

Transparency Levels

Selecting the right transparency level is essential for balancing your view, sunlight, and privacy.

Sheer (High Openness)

Maintains clear outward visibility while gently filtering bright sunlight, ideal for restaurants or retail spaces that benefit from openness and natural daylight.

Semi-Transparent

Balances moderate privacy with filtered outdoor views, perfect for hospitality settings or dining areas needing softer ambient lighting.

Opaque

Delivers complete privacy, blocks direct sunlight, and eliminates glare—ideal for event spaces, meeting rooms, or private dining areas.

Outside Looking In

From the exterior, commercial roller shades create a uniform, elegant appearance, enhancing your façade while providing privacy for your guests. Even at semi-transparent or sheer levels, shades obscure interior details from passersby, preserving the desired privacy for patrons or occupants.

Inside Looking Out

From indoors, roller shades allow controlled exterior views, carefully filtered according to your chosen transparency. Sheer and semi-transparent shades maintain clear views of surroundings, helping guests feel connected to outdoor spaces without compromising comfort.

Cassette & Housing Options

Goodwin-Cole offers versatile cassette and housing solutions designed for clean integration into your commercial space. Each cassette or housing option is available in multiple finishes, including anodized aluminum, custom powder-coated colors, or branded elements, ensuring consistency with your establishment’s overall design.

Full Cassette Housing

A sophisticated, fully enclosed aluminum housing safeguards your roller shade fabric and internal mechanisms. Ideal for complete protection against environmental elements, maintaining pristine fabric condition, and offering a clean, seamless aesthetic.

Partial Cassette (Fascia/Hood)

A clean, functional approach without housing, suited to spaces with existing overhead protection or minimalist aesthetics. Popular in modern commercial designs requiring a streamlined, industrial look.

Open Roll

An open-roll design presents a minimalist look without a housing enclosure, ideal for areas already protected from the elements or for homeowners who prefer a simple, unobtrusive shade integration..

Comfort, Privacy & Ambiance

Enhance your guests’ experience and elevate your business appeal with thoughtfully designed roller shades that promote comfort, privacy, and ambiance. Commercial roller shades effectively reduce heat and glare, creating cooler, more inviting spaces that encourage customers to linger. For restaurants and cafés, shades create intimate dining atmospheres while protecting guests from bright sunlight and street-level distractions.

In hospitality settings and corporate environments, roller shades provide essential privacy while maintaining natural daylight and exterior views. With options ranging from sheer, view-preserving materials to full blackout shades, you have complete control over your outdoor atmosphere—transforming your commercial space into a versatile, attractive environment that boosts customer satisfaction and increases profitability.
