Mounting Motorized Shades on Stucco Walls: What You Need to Know
Installing motorized shades over windows on stucco walls requires careful consideration to ensure a secure and visually appealing setup. Here’s a detailed guide to help you navigate the process:
Understanding Stucco and EIFS
When mounting shades on a stucco-finished window, it’s critical to determine if the window has an Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS). EIFS is a non-load-bearing synthetic stucco that cannot support the weight of heavy shade systems. If your window has EIFS, the shade must be mounted above the EIFS layer to ensure structural integrity. Our expert team at Texas Outdoor Shades will assess your home’s exterior to recommend the best mounting approach.
Proper Housing Placement
To maintain a clean and polished look, the shade’s housing should be positioned high enough to conceal the bottom hem bar from view inside the home. In some cases, a buildout may be required to achieve the ideal height and alignment. This ensures your motorized shades blend seamlessly with your home’s architecture while providing maximum functionality.
Optional Bottom Brush or Gasket
For stucco wall installations, a bottom brush or gasket may not be necessary, depending on the setup. Our team will evaluate your window’s configuration to determine the best approach, ensuring a snug fit and smooth operation.
Professional Installation
At Texas Outdoor Shades, we specialize in installing motorized solar track screens on various surfaces, including stucco. Our experienced technicians use high-quality mounting hardware and techniques to ensure your shades are secure, level, and built to last.

Information to consider on Stucco Walls.
To mount a shade against a stucco window, first determine if the window has EIFS, which is non-load bearing. If it does, mount above the EIFS and ensure the housing is high enough to hide the bottom hem bar from inside the house.
When mounting shades against a window with a stucco finish, it's important to consider whether the window has EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System), which is non-load bearing. If it does, you should mount above the EIFS and may need a buildout to ensure that the housing is high enough so the bottom hem bar isn't visible from inside the house. Additionally, you might not require a bottom brush or gasket for this setup.
