Enjoy These Five Patio Activities Year Round With Motorized Retractable Screens

Written by admat on April 4, 2022. Posted in Motorized Screens, Patio Shades.

Having a patio gives you and your family tremendous scope for outdoor activities. However, the weather here in Atlanta is not always ideal, and your patio might go months at a time without being used at all. Of course, this doesn’t have to be the case if you install motorized screens, keeping you protected from the elements when needed.

But once you have your motorized screens, you might just realize that you don’t know what to do with all that patio time you and your family now have. So here are a few ideas for you to try out.

One: Outdoor Movie Nights

With large-screen TVs now an affordable luxury for most, why not install one outside and enjoy a family movie night? If you don’t want to leave a TV out, you can always buy a projector and get the whole experience. Then, grab a few snacks, make popcorn in the kitchen, and relax with a refreshing beverage. Whether it’s a family flick with the kids or a rom-com with your significant other, movie nights have something to offer for everyone.

Two: Patio Dining

It’s lovely to relax and eat on the patio, whether a simple snack at lunchtime or a big event with family or friends. But, when those cold Atlanta winters hit, and there’s a foot of snow on the ground, that’s not so much fun! With motorized screens, you can keep the outdoor dining experience year-round. So there’s more time to try new recipes, invite more friends around and get the most out of the space.

Three: Family Game Night

Playing board games with the family is usually something you do in the comfort of your living room. However, with motorized screens on your patio, you don’t have to worry about the wind blowing your monopoly money away. And, if the weather is good, open the screens and enjoy the outdoor air as you fight to achieve victory over the rest of your family. Another advantage is that you may have more open space on the patio than in your living room, so you can try new games that take up more room, such as Twister or tin can bowling.

Four: Take Up Pottery

The patio is ideal for situating your potter’s wheel, and fresh air is excellent for polymer clays that dry in the sunlight and don’t need an oven. Moving it out to the patio is an excellent idea if you’ve never tried this hobby before because you don’t have the space. You’re bound to improve quickly at this art if you can keep it up all year round and seeing your own handmade work around the home is very rewarding.

Five: Painting

If you’re of an artistic temperament, you probably love the idea of painting the landscapes outside your home. While that’s lovely on a warm summer day, cold and rain aren’t conducive to making the best art. But with motorized screens around your patio, you can still clearly see the scenes you want to capture. So get out there and capture that beautiful view of your snowy garden or the autumn rain rippling across your pond and make a piece of art to grace the walls of your home.

These are just five ideas for enjoying your patio year-round with motorized screens, but we’re sure you could come up with more. Whether it’s playing your favorite musical instruments, spending time with the family pet, or just relaxing and enjoying the garden view, the possibilities are almost endless.

Expand Your Living Space With Vinyl Screens

Written by admat on March 21, 2022. Posted in Motorized Screens.

For far too long, areas like porches, verandahs and patios have been considered a semi-outdoor extension of a home, rather than an integral part of it. Driven back inside by sun glare, harsh weather, or pests, often homeowners consider these spaces comfortable only in very specific weather conditions, and sometimes entire seasons make them essentially unusable. That means that these same homeowners are missing out on the comfort, relaxation, and views these outdoor entertaining areas have to offer – but they no longer have to!

Modular, Durable, and Innovative

Smart design, superior materials, and technology have now combined to get more “living” out of your outdoor living space with products like vinyl patio screens and motorized vinyl shades for your porch and patio. Unlike permanent screening, windows, “sun room” extensions, and sliding doors, vinyl screens can be installed without significant construction or the need for complicated permits. They’re the perfect choice for the homeowner that would like both an open-air patio as well as the comforts of an enclosed porch, but doesn’t want to choose.

The Benefits of Motorized Screens

Sun exposure changes, of course, as the day progresses. What’s comfortable and welcoming in the morning may feel oppressively hot or bright by lunch time. Motorized screens allow you to thwart sun glare with the push of a button, ensuring your morning cup of coffee is as comfortable as catching up with a favorite novel in the afternoon. When pests like mosquitos and gnats threaten your outdoor entertaining space, there’s no need to cut your socializing short. Simply lower your motorized screens all the way, and relax – no annoying bug zapper or sputtering citronella candles required!

A Four Season Fit

Because the mechanisms for motorized vinyl screens and motorized mesh screens are so low profile, they can be mounted either at the door frame(s) of your porch or patio, or recessed to keep them entirely from view. Dual-material systems, which incorporate both a vinyl screen and a traditional mesh screen, give you the option to transform your outdoor space into an oasis of comfort, no matter what the season. From cozy on a snowy day to breezy in the spring, all you’ll need is a favorite chair and a few friends to truly “bring the indoors outside.” This is a particularly useful feature when entertaining groups of friends in the summer – which could make your living room and dining room feel a little crowded. During the holidays, having an on-demand enclosed porch can also make opening gifts or setting up a buffet-like eating area a lot easier.

Stargazing and Quiet Time

With so many individuals working and learning from home, it can be hard to enjoy a quiet moment in the busy, shared space of a home, particularly with larger families. Motorized vinyl screens make it easy to “carve out” space for reading, resting, relaxing, or even participating in hobbies that might disrupt the rest of the home, such as practicing with musical instruments. Imagine what you could do with an extra room in your home. Now imagine if it was so easy to create one, it could even be controlled by your smartphone: that’s the flexible benefit of motorized screens and vinyl.

Using Your Home’s Potential

You wouldn’t ignore a bedroom or closet in your house, would you? You naturally want to get the full value out of your home and use every square foot of space available to you. Whether it’s for storage, entertainment, displaying decor, or simply living life, you deserve to get the most out of your home – and that includes the porch, patio, or verandah. When weather, bugs, sun, or other outdoor issues make it difficult to truly enjoy your Atlanta home to the fullest, motorized screens and motorized vinyl screens let you adjust it to your liking. Avoid sunburn, bug bites, and uncomfortable chills or heat waves quickly and easily – all without needing construction permits or fundamentally changing the look and feel of your home.

Expand your home – and your idea of how your outdoor spaces can be used – with the addition of durable, attractive screens. It’s the best choice you’ll ever make for your porch or patio!

Designing Your Patio Enclosure With Motorized Screens

Written by admat on March 14, 2022. Posted in Motorized Screens.

Over the past few years, there has been significant growth in popularity of motorized patio enclosures for outdoor living spaces. The patio screens’ popularity has continued to grow exponentially for a good reason. Not only do they create an inviting and comfortable covered outdoor space, but they also add your patio’s appeal, boost the aesthetic and improve on functionality.

To create a fully functional and usable outdoor space that you and your family can enjoy at any time of the day, regardless of the season, you need motorized patio screens. This guide will walk you through why you need porch screens and also help you learn how to design your patio enclosure with porch screens.

How Do Motorized Patio Enclosures Work?

Porch screens add a barrier between the outdoors and your home. Depending on the fabric used or mesh, the screens can be used to extend the use of space, control the temperature or improve the general aesthetic of your home.

You can add patio screens to your Atlanta home as aftermarket or at the time of build since they are very customizable in almost any space. They can also be installed in many openings that allow light and air to flow, such as windows and doors.

The best part about them, especially when it comes to enclosing patios, is that you can use them in place of a wall. Outdoor screens combine materials such as vinyl and mesh to create the perfect balance. They offer climate control, let in fresh air, and help keep your outdoor space usable all year round.

How To Select The Right Motorized Screens For Your Home

Patio screens usually come in varieties, meaning you will always find something that offers you the aesthetics and functionality you want for your space. From sliding screens with stopping points to retractable screens with clear vinyl, there will always be an option that works well and adds to your home’s design.

With so many options, it can be overwhelming to choose. So here are the benefits you should have in mind when shopping for a motorized screen.

Privacy When Necessary

When looking for a patio screen, consider one that offers you privacy when you need it. If you have neighbors around, motorized patio enclosures can help you make your outdoor space more personal.

Versatility

Once the temperatures drop, the patio becomes a no-go-zone for many homeowners. But with patio screens with clear vinyl, you can get extended use of your deck as they provide more protection from weather elements, debris, and bugs. They also help control temperature keeping the cold out during winter and the heat during summer, not to mention they are energy-efficient.

Extended Usable Space

Outdoor patio screens are an excellent option for anyone looking to extend the usability of their outdoor living space. Although it’s possible to get the same effect from modular cabanas or pergolas, screens help you maximize the already existing ample space on your house’s structure.

Motorized patio enclosures offer a seamless transition from the indoors to the outdoors so that you can make the most out of your outdoor space.

Hottest Exterior Home Trends 2022

Written by admat on February 22, 2022. Posted in Motorized Screens, Patio Shades.

Transforming your outdoor living space into an area you can enjoy is sometimes a big undertaking. But, it’s one that can be a lot of fun. You need to be sure that the space is functional for your needs, but that it’s also appealing to the eye.

Before you get started on your project, be sure you define your wishes. Some people want a large entertaining space where they can host gatherings without worrying about messes indoors. Others want a relaxing oasis where they can enjoy their time and unwind after work. Some may only want a space that has good curb appeal because they want to sell the home.

If you’re considering making some changes to your home’s exterior in 2022, be sure you consider these trends.

Contrasting Color Choices

Exterior home colors are taking a darker tone this year. Primary paint colors like deep navy or even black are common. Accenting those with lighter colors is popular. Matte finishes on these exterior paint jobs are also very popular this year, especially with darker paints.

Some homeowners are even choosing to put bright roofs on their homes. This gives the house a pop of color in a very unexpected place. For example, a red roof on a navy blue house that has white trim with a red front door is all the rage this year.

Retractable Shades and Screens

The pull to retractable shades and screens is simple. They add an extra layer of depth to the exterior home that comes with a valuable purpose. These shades can keep the sun’s harsh rays out of the home during the summer. They can help to keep heat in the home in the winter.

Some shades simply block the sun while allowing you to still see what’s going on outside. These screen mesh shades come in a variety of colors. Once you put these on the exterior of the home, you can sit inside and enjoy the beauty around your home from the comfort of indoors.

Retractable shades are a hugely popular selling point for Atlanta homes this year. Buyers appreciate the ease of raising and lowering these shades. They enjoy the privacy and comfort they bring to the home. Since many buyers are looking for natural lighting, retractable shades enable them to get this by simply raising the shade during the day.

Shaded & Dry Entertainment Areas

Decks and patios are extremely popular this year. One difference this year is that many people don’t want these spaces wide open. They want outdoor shades that can block the sun’s harsh rays when necessary and an under deck drainage system to keep the area dry for use in wet weather. Using a cable-guided system enables you to raise and lower the shades around the space so you can block the sun or even get a little privacy from your neighbors.

These outdoor shades come in various colors, so you can choose the one that goes with your exterior décor. This provides a cohesive appearance that improves the curb appeal of the home.

Functional Outdoor Entertainment Spaces

The backyard is becoming a popular place to hang out with friends and loved ones. With this in mind, the functionality of the outdoor living space is starting to trump the appearance of it.

Think about what types of entertaining you want to do. For example, an outdoor kitchen might be ideal if you want to host dinner parties on your back deck. You might even add a stone pizza oven to the area.

As you’re thinking about this area, be sure to consider the pathways around the yard. Stone pavers and freestanding lanterns are trending this year. Some homeowners are using pea gravel to fill in between stone pavers that are placed 6 to 8 inches apart on the walkway.

Write Out Your Plan

These trending points should be a good starting point for you to decide the changes that you want to make to your Georgia home’s exterior. It can sometimes be overwhelming to try to put it all together.

Write out your plan for the exterior of your home. Consider having a 3-D model made or a sketch drawn so you can see what it will look like. Once you know exactly what you want, you can find the professionals to come in and make it a reality. Peachtree Blinds of Atlanta designs and installs shade products for patios, porches and decks in Atlanta, Georgia and surrounding areas.

Get Your Backyard Ready For Spring 2022

Written by admat on February 1, 2022. Posted in Motorized Screens, Patio Shades, Solar Screens.

Atlanta winters can be cold and brutal and keep you indoors for most of the season. Warmer temperatures in the spring make it possible to take your entertaining outdoors for fresh air while you socialize with family and friends. As the snow starts to melt, it’s time to get your backyard ready for spring and the following is ways you can upgrade the space.

Clean Up Winter’s Aftermath

Start by cleaning up broken limbs and dead plants left behind from the winter season. Add mulch to existing garden spaces, replace broken flowerpots and blow leaves. Use a pressure washer on your deck or patio to remove dirt, and you can even put on a new coat of fresh paint in places that need refreshing. The goal is to create a clean slate for your backyard overhaul.

Build an Outdoor Kitchen

Outdoor kitchens provide a variety of benefits to your home, especially if you like to entertain. They can increase the value of your home and even help lower energy bills. Search the internet for ideas on layouts, materials, outdoor appliances and serving spaces. Most outdoor kitchens have four separate zones.

Cooking zone

Your cooking area will likely be the highlight or spotlight of your outdoor kitchen. Choose from built-in grills, smokers, griddles, side burners and even pizza ovens. A built-in grill typically has door underneath to house the propane tank. Drawers and storage areas keep pots and pans and BBQ tools handy. The biggest thing to consider is ventilation. The cooking zone should be in an open and clear space that prevents the build-up of harmful fumes and one that can handle excessive heat.

Prep zone

Your prep zone can be as simple as a small counter-space or a full cabinet with a built-in sink and pull-out trash bins. This area saves you from multiple trips back and forth to your indoor kitchen to cut vegetables, prepare meat and throw garbage away. Plan your prep zone beside your cook zone for greater efficiency and adjust the countertop size to accommodate how many you will normally cook for.

Plate and serve zone

Another area to plan adjacent to your cook zone is the serving area. This keeps guests away from the heat of the barbecue and gives a convenient space to provide plates and utensils. Some serving zones have warming drawers that keep food ready-to-serve when you’re cooking in batches.

Entertainment zone

If you’re planning on including a mini fridge, cooler, kegerator or ice maker in your outdoor kitchen design then the entertainment zone is a must. This is where most guests will hang out when the meal is over and they are ready to have fun. This area can include a bar with bar stools and even a television mounted on the wall. Be sure to install motorized retractable patio shades that can be raised and lowered to accommodate the direction of the sun. Retractable screens can also add privacy to your entertaining space.

Plant a Garden

Planting a garden is an excellent way to upgrade your backyard to get ready for spring and the warmer months and there are many different ways to accomplish this. For patios and decks, choose small herb boxes and planters or use railroad ties or garden borders to section off an area in your yard to plant vegetables. After you decide on a space for your plants check out the planting guide from the University of Georgia Extension Office. This guide tells you when’s the best time to plant and what plants work best for your zone.

Why You Want Motorized Screens for Your Patio

Written by admat on January 17, 2022. Posted in Motorized Screens.

The patio is an excellent place to enjoy your summer evenings in comfort. However, spending too much time in the sun can have adverse effects, including affecting your skin and causing overheating, leading you to overlook the beauty of spending time outdoors.

As such, it’s crucial to have a shading solution that not only adds to your home’s appeal but also shades you from the glaring sun. If you’re looking for an excellent solution for your patio, you might want to consider getting motorized screens. Retractable screens are aesthetically pleasing and offer many advantages. Here is why you want motorized screens for your Georgia patio.

Protection from UV Rays

We all need some Vitamin D, which is best obtained through exposure to the sun. However, as with everything else, too much of the sun can be a bad thing. Spending a lot of time in the sun exposes you to harmful UV rays, which can cause sun poisoning, sunburns and, in advanced cases, increase your chances of developing skin cancer.

Motorized screens can help you obtain that healthy balance of sunshine while protecting you from the UV rays. It also helps protect your patio furniture from getting damaged by the sun.

Straightforward Remote Operation

When it comes to retractable screens, you don’t need a manual to operate them as they are easy to use and maintain. Your new retractable shades have a remote-control feature that allows you to customize your coverage easily.

To add to that, you can easily configure the screens to sync up with a device in your home that can function as its remote. A device such as your smartphone allows you to control your motorized screens at any time and in any way you want. With the app, you can configure the automation settings so that the screens retract and deploy on their own at the set time, thus saving you the hassle of being present to do it.

More Living Space

With motorized screens, you have more control of your outdoor space and can therefore enjoy it in peace and comfort. Getting motorized screens in your patio lets you enjoy all outdoor weather while retaining control of your outdoor space. The retractable screens act as insect barriers during spring and minimize glare during winter.

Low Energy Costs

People often overlook the most significant benefit of motorized screens, their effect on your energy bill. Investing in a motorized screen helps block the sun over a substantial portion of your home.

This helps prevent the transfer of heat to your home’s interior, thus making it easy for your air conditioning to maintain comfortable temperatures without needing to use a lot of energy. Over time, this saves some money while also preventing your AC from overworking itself.

We Can Help

Motorized screens are a great addition to your Atlanta home aesthetically and have overall positive effects, thus making them a great addition to your home. At Peachtree Blinds of Atlanta, we have a wide range of motorized screen options for your patio.

We can also help you obtain the proper configurations according to your expectations and needs. Whether you’re looking for something straightforward, practical, or techy that integrates into your smart home, we can help. Give us a call today at (770) 664-0027 to learn more about patio shades.

How to Integrate Motorized Vinyl Shades Into Your Outdoor Space

Written by admat on December 21, 2021. Posted in Motorized Screens.

Outdoor spaces have become a prized commodity over the past few years, and increasingly, businesses and homeowners are looking for ways to beautify and improve their patios and decks. Adding motorized screens, patio shades and bug screens can extend your outdoor living space and increase the curb appeal of your property.

Motorized Screens for Commercial Buildings

Patios have always been popular at restaurants and bars, but with many businesses expanding their outdoor spaces, staying competitive now means offering more to your customers.

Motorized Patio Screens for Restaurants and Bars

Commercial motorized screens are the ideal solution for all types of outdoor venues, including restaurant patios, exterior smoking areas and decks. These screens can be custom fitted with your choice of clear vinyl windows so that your guests can enjoy plenty of natural lighting while being protected from light rains, wind and UV rays.

And not only are motorized patio shades a hit with your customers, but your staff will also appreciate the added comfort that comes with working in a protected outdoor area. Few things are more frustrating for servers than trying to serve food and beverages in full sun, or while dealing with flying pests and high winds.

Better yet, motorized patio screens and bug shades can be quickly raised and lowered at the touch of a button. This gives your staff the ability to adjust your screens throughout the day, and whenever the weather conditions change.

Here’s some ways that you can implement motorized vinyl shades into your commercial outdoor space:

Install motorized bug screens on your patios
Add motorized vinyl screens to your wedding tent, gazebo or party area
Create an outdoor grill area complete with motorized screens to block the wind
Build a separate smoking area partitioned off with a motorized vinyl screen

Motorized Residential Bug Screens and Patio Shades

Having your own private outdoor space has always been desirable, and that’s been especially true over the past couple of years. Patios and decks are quickly becoming a must-have among homeowners, and houses with upgraded outdoor living areas are in-demand among home buyers.

Motorized Patio Covers

One of the best ways to create a high-end outdoor space that’s practical and attractive is by adding a motorized patio cover to your outdoor space. These motorized shades give you complete control over how much sunlight reaches your patio. Here in Georgia, that can make all the difference when it comes to being able to sit outside during the day when the sun can be uncomfortably bright and hot.

And because these patio covers are completely motorized, you won’t have to worry about whether or not you can reach the covers. Unlike manual patio covers that involve long poles and complicated pulley systems, motorized screens and patio shades can be adjusted quickly and safely.

Vinyl Residential Patio Shades

Another great way to expand your outdoor living area is by adding vinyl patio shades to your deck. These premium-quality shades are custom-made to match your specific needs, and available in a wide range of eye-pleasing colors to coordinate with any exterior color scheme.

Motorized screens are the perfect addition to your covered porch, particularly if you have a south or east-facing porch. With motorized shades, you can enjoy your porch without dealing with excessive UV rays. As an added bonus, these shades also help to obscure the view onto your porch, adding an element of privacy to your outdoor space.

Motorized bug screens and shades are also great for outdoor kitchens where winds, light rains and flying pests can be a problem. Installing motorized shades can transform your grill space into the envy of your neighborhood!

Retractable Screens for Outdoor Spaces | Atlanta Shade Solutions

Enjoy the great outdoors every day with our range of retractable screens. Create privacy when and where you need it and create an outdoor living space that’s comfortable and functional all year round.

Have you ever sat in your garden, on your balcony, or on your porch and wished for more privacy? Perhaps you’re looking for a way to stop bugs from ruining a relaxing evening, or protection from the sun. Retractable screens solve all of these problems and more, transforming any architectural opening into a more pleasant, comfortable and functional living space.

Why Choose Retractable Screens For Your Atlanta Home?

Retractable screens, also known as motorized screens and patio shades are a type of fixed screen that can be used to screen and shade your exterior living space at the touch of a button. They are one of the most versatile home improvements you can make and you’ll wonder how you got by without one. Here are just some of the many uses they have to offer.

Create a Shaded Haven For Relaxation

Retractable screens are the perfect way to create shade when and where you need it. If you don’t use your porch or deck for part of the day because it’s in full sun, a motorized screen will provide welcome shade. What’s more, the mesh construction allows air to flow through so you could find you need to use your air conditioning system less.

Add Privacy Where You Need It

If your porch, deck or patio can be overlooked by neighbors or seen from the street, retractable screens are the perfect solution. They allow you to create privacy when and where you need it. Throwing a dinner party? At the touch of a button, your screen will roll down to create an intimate dining space and all the privacy you need.

Transform Your Garage Space

Bring in the breeze without bringing in the bugs. A motorized screen on your garage will transform your space into a private, shaded area where you can work, play, or just enjoy the great outdoors without the pests. If you use your garage as an entertainment zone, a retractable screen will keep your guests cool and insect free.

A Room For All Seasons

Many Atlanta homeowners only use their outdoor spaces for half of the year. Full sun, strong winds, and dusty conditions are year-round problems that can stop you from enjoying the exterior of your home as much as you’d like. Motorized screens create a room for all seasons and allow you to use your patio, deck or porch throughout the year.

Seamless Design and Convenience in One

If you are worried that patio shades and retractable screens will ruin the look of your home, don’t be. Every screen is perfectly customized to your property, designed to merge perfectly with your decor and the integrity of your architectural openings. From archways to garage door openings, your screen can be recessed from view and completely hidden until it is activated.

Enjoy the Great Outdoors No Matter What

When the summer weather rolls around, you want to be able to open up your home and let the sun and cool breeze in. But with the more pleasant weather comes some unpleasant factors, such as high heat, bugs, and humidity. If you close your doors and windows a lot throughout the year, you’re missing out on some serious outdoor fun and relaxation. Don’t let the spring and summer go to waste.

At Peachtree Blinds of Atlanta, we specialize in retractable screens and helping homeowners across the region to enjoy the great outdoors no matter what. To find out more about our screen and shade solutions, contact our friendly team today.

Motorized Clear Vinyl for Outdoor Spaces: Stories of Comfort and Control

Written by admat on November 9, 2021. Posted in Motorized Screens.

Do you enjoy entertaining guests on your Atlanta patio or porch? Looking for an innovative, modern solution that will impress guests while also providing a practical function? If so, then you will love the comfort and control offered by our Motorized Clear Vinyl for Outdoor Spaces. Using Motorized Clear Vinyl enables you to control the temperature in your outdoor living space using the latest in motorized technology. The Clear Vinyl is designed to keep the warmth in and weather out during colder months, while it’s perfect for keeping cooled air in your covered porch or patio area during hotter months.

The Perfect Scenario

Imagine you’re having a small, casual lunch on the patio with friends. You have all brought your own dishes and grills to cook food on. It’s a pleasant summer day, perfect for enjoying your favorite outdoor activities. A few clouds drift lazily across the bright blue sky, while the warm summer breeze caresses your skin. You sit down to enjoy some delicious food and a glass of lemonade, when suddenly, it starts to drizzle. In any normal situation, you would panic. But with your latest investment, the comfort of your gathering is no longer affected by the undesirable climate. Just in time, you are in control and can activate your motorized clear vinyl system to shut the windows with a smooth quiet motion, sheltering your party from the rain. You save the day and keep your guests comfortable.

The Perfect Solution

Now, you might think this is a rare occurrence, but having the comfort of being in control makes the most adverse of weather conditions manageable. For instance, think about the winter months in colder climates where heavy snow and ice is a common occurrence on your porch. If you have your motorized clear vinyl windows closed, the temperature inside of your covered porch could stay at a more comfortable 70°F (21°C), if you wish, compared to the cold temperatures outside. You can now enjoy a nice glass of hot cocoa, while enjoying the beautiful scenery that would normally be too cold to enjoy.

Or, imagine you are lounging on your porch during the scorching summer months experiencing a heatwave. It’s too hot outside to even think about cooking on the grill, so you decide to enjoy some delicious ice cream instead. During these times, you can activate your motorized clear vinyl windows and keep the heat out, while still enjoying a delicious summertime treat.

These quick stories represent perfectly how Motorized Clear Vinyl for Outdoor Spaces is perfect for both colder and warmer climates, allowing you to use your Georgia porch or patio area in any weather.

Adding Motorized Patio Screens To Your Home

Written by admat on October 11, 2021. Posted in Motorized Screens, Patio Shades.

Motorized patio screens are some of the best outdoor improvements you can make. If you want to enclose and transform your patio with the push of a button, then there’s no better way to achieve it than with a motorized patio screen. This will turn your Georgia home into the perfect summer relaxation spot with adjustable screens. Why let stationary screens trap you when you can have the best of both worlds. Read on to find out how adding motorized patio screens can make you the envy of your friends and neighbors.

Motorized Patio Screen Installation

There are two options if you want to install motorized retractable screens. You can either have them installed during the construction phase, or you can get a professional to install them for you on an existing structure. The good thing is that motorized screens are custom made for specific openings, so even if you have an existing patio, you can get the right size. You can also choose the screen fabric you need. For instance, if you are looking to keep the heat in your patio, you can find a mesh that enables you to do that as opposed to one that’s used to keep heat out. You just have to keep in mind that every screen installation is a custom project, so you can be flexible with what you want. The idea is to get the perfect option for your needs.

Why Purchase a Motorized Retractable Screen?

If you love chilling outside, you can agree that it’s impossible to spend too much time outdoors. Unfortunately, there are several challenges that can limit the time you spend outside. For instance, if there is a lot of heat, precipitation, and insects, you might find it difficult to hang out on your patio. Fortunately, a motorized patio screen will solve each of your problems. Aside from resolving the issues we mentioned here, it also has several other perks.

Protection From Insects

Insects can be a nuisance, and in most instances, they can make it impossible for you to spend time outdoors. Imagine trying to eat with a swarm of insects flying all over the place. If you have a motorized screen, all you need to do is shut it down and pave the way for an enjoyable couple of hours. With the screen closed, you won’t even need to use any insect repellant or citronella candles.

When choosing a motorized patio screen, ensure that you pick one that will protect you from all the elements. For instance, when the weather is hot, you need a screen that will work as a coolant, stopping UV rays from entering your patio. Once you are shielded from the sun’s direct glare, you will find that the patio will instantly become cool and comfortable. The same must be true for when it’s cold. Instead of being forced inside, you need to ensure that your screen will keep cold air out and stop the weather from ruining your outdoor events. Lastly, the screen must also divert rain and stop you from getting wet.

Motorized Patio Screens and Energy Savings

A motorized patio screen will help you control indoor temperatures. When the sun is blazing hot during the summer months, you will need all the insulation you can get. All you need to do is close the screen to deflect the sunlight, cool the porch, and in turn, keep the indoor temperatures low. The screen can also work wonders during the colder months.

Will Your Patio Views Be Compromised?

Not at all. A motorized patio screen will deliver all its benefits with unobstructed views. When you close the screen, you will feel like you are indoors, but the views will be telling a story of their own. You can still see everything on the outside as clearly as you would without the screen.
