What is a Screen?
A motorized screen is a modern shading solution designed to enhance comfort and protection for indoor and outdoor spaces. Operated with a motorized mechanism, these screens can be raised or lowered effortlessly.
Made from durable mesh fabric, motorized screens shield against insects, pollen, windborne debris, and harmful UV rays while offering privacy and reducing glare. They help maintain cooler temperatures in outdoor areas like patios, decks, and porches, creating a protected and comfortable environment.
Combining convenience, style, and functionality, motorized screens are a perfect addition to any space.
The Advantages of a Motorized Screen
Motorized screens for doors, windows, patios, and other openings offer exceptional versatility and convenience. Their retractable design provides the flexibility to enjoy open views or enclosed protection as needed. These screens shield against insects, UV rays, and debris while improving energy efficiency by blocking excess sunlight.
Customizable in size and style, motorized screens enhance privacy and comfort while maintaining natural light and airflow. With easy remote or smart control operation and durable construction, they are ideal for creating functional, stylish, and protected spaces in both residential and commercial settings.

Block Harmful UV Rays

Natural Ventilation
Retractable screens allow fresh breezes and cross ventilation when open, and protection when closed. This natural air circulation is healthy and cooling. Retractable screens give you control over ventilation and airflow.
Keeps Out Insects
Fine mesh retractable insect screens form a barrier against flying pests when closed. This allows you to leave doors and windows open for air circulation without bugs coming inside. No more mosquitoes, flies, wasps or bees when the screens are in use.
Extra Privacy
For doors, windows and patios, retractable screens provide privacy and seclusion when you want it. If you want a bit of extra privacy while in your pool area, simply extend your retractable screens.

What are Retractable Screens (Also Known as Solar Screens or Roll Screens)?
Retractable screens, or roll-up screens, are movable screens that extend to cover openings like windows or doors and retract when not in use, offering privacy, shade, and insect protection.
How Do Retractable Screens Work?
Retractable screens are housed in a casing above or beside the opening they cover. The screen material is connected to a roller mechanism that allows it to be extended down or across the opening, then rolled back up into the housing. Screens can be manually operated using a pull cord or strap, or motorized using electric motors and a remote control or wall switch.
Manual vs Motorized Retractable Screens
Manual retractable screens require the user to pull the cord to raise and lower the screen. This cable guided system is typically cheaper than motorized versions. Motorized screens use electric motors to extend and retract with the push of a button, offering convenient operation. Motorized screens are automated and easier to use but are more of an upfront investment.
