One of the greatest benefits of living in a subtropical climate is that your living space easily extends beyond your walls to the beautiful outdoors. But while temperatures may be comfortable, the elements aren’t always so pleasant. Thankfully, motorized retractable screen systems are available for nearly every window and door opening to your home, making it not only possible but convenient and secure to extend your home outward while keeping pests, wind, and excessive sun from getting in.
Benefits of Retractable Motorized Screen Systems
Keep Bugs Out
Relaxing on the patio on a warm day feels amazing… until the invasion begins. Whether it’s mosquitos at dusk, moths drawn to an ambient flame, or larger outdoor creatures that belong in the yard and not in your living space, adding a screen keeps your environment comfortable, pleasant, and attractive. Plus, screens keep your pets secure within your home’s boundaries and protect them from insects and pests too.
Reduce Heat and Sun
It’s fun to play in the sun, but sometimes the heat beating down on your living space can be oppressive. But retractable screen systems not only create a pest barrier but also provide sun protection that make your open deck, patio, balcony, windows, gazebo, and even garage more pleasant on a hot day. And when these open-air spaces are shaded, adjacent enclosed rooms cost less to keep cool.
Maintain Privacy
Being outdoors lets you enjoy fun with friends and neighbors—but you don’t always want onlookers checking out your party. Or perhaps your business or restaurant offers outdoor space for employees and/or customers, but you’d rather not have your staff or patrons on display to passersby. And of course, your gorgeous open concept living room with a wall of windows should let air in, but not make you feel like your family is on exhibit at the zoo! Motorized retractable screen systems provide airflow while reducing outside-in visibility, so you can enjoy the view and the breeze while maintaining your privacy
