Custom Pergola Shades: Define Your Outdoor Sanctuary
A pergola is a stunning architectural addition to any home, providing structure and style to your landscape. However, without the right shading, a pergola often leaves you at the mercy of the moving sun and shifting winds. At NorthShore Window Treatments, we specialize in transforming open-air structures into true “outdoor rooms” through our strategic partnership with the region’s leading MagnaTrack specialist.
Serving the Milwaukee and Chicago North Shore, we offer custom-engineered pergola shades that provide on-demand comfort without sacrificing the open feel of your outdoor design.
The Perfect Balance of Light and Air
Unlike a permanent roof, a pergola with motorized shades offers ultimate flexibility. With the touch of a button, you can adapt your environment to the time of day:
360-Degree Protection
Because pergolas are open on all sides, the sun can hit from any angle. Our custom installations allow for individual control of each side, letting you block the low afternoon sun while keeping the other sides open to catch the breeze.
Preserve the Architecture
Our shade systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with your pergola’s beams. Whether your structure is traditional wood, modern aluminum, or a high-end bioclimatic system, the hardware is discreetly color-matched to disappear into the architecture.
A New Kind of Living Room
By adding motorized screens, you create a private, insect-free, and UV-protected space that functions just like an indoor living room—perfect for hosting dinner parties or relaxing in the shade.
Why MagnaTrack is the Only Choice for Pergolas
Pergolas are often located in open areas of the yard where wind speeds are highest. Traditional shades often fail in these environments, flapping loudly or jumping out of their tracks.
The MagnaTrack system is the only solution we recommend for our Mequon and Chicago area clients. The patented magnetic tracks allow the shade to move under wind pressure and then “self-correct” back into place. This means your pergola remains a peaceful retreat even when the weather turns, providing a level of durability that standard screens simply cannot match.
Tailored to Your Lifestyle
Through our exclusive partnership, we offer a wide variety of mesh and fabric options for your pergola:
Solar Mesh
Reduces heat and glare while maintaining your view of the garden or Lake Michigan.
Privacy Fabric
Creates a secluded oasis, shielding your pergola from the view of neighbors.
Dual-Purpose Screens
Provide protection from both the sun and annoying insects, ensuring your outdoor evenings are never cut short.
