Determining Your Ideal Custom Retractable Screen

Your neighbors just got a custom-made retractable screen and it looks fantastic. They tell you they’re very happy with the addition to their home because it’s so easy to use, provides privacy and protection against the bugs and sun, and improves the look of their home. If their satisfaction persuades you to seek custom retractable screens, you may be wondering how to select the best option for your home. At Designer Awnings, we have offered clients throughout Berks, Lackawanna, Monroe, Carbon, Northampton, and Lehigh Counties in Pennsylvania high-quality retractable screens and exceptional customer service since 1999. Here, we discuss how to find the ideal retractable screens for your property.

Where Do You Want to Install Your Retractable Screen?

The first step in figuring out which retractable screen to choose is deciding its location. While many people want retractable screens for their patios and porches, others may wish to install one in their garage for guarding vehicles. For garages, an auto or remote-sensor mesh screen may be the best option. Screens like The Sunroll afford you privacy, natural light, and continual airflow all while keeping pesky bugs at bay. That way you can use your garage as an additional workspace during the warmer months late at night, or in the early morning when mosquitos and bugs are most active. Depending on the design of your space, you may want to consider a Sunroll either with a weighted pipe, drop bar and cables, or drop bar and rails. All of these models provide screen retention to limit movement even on windy days. The drop bar and rail screen can cover widths up to 20 ft and heights of up to 12 ft. Rails maintain airflow between the fabrics and the mounting surface to prevent mildew and outdoor buildup. All three of these options are highly effective at guarding you against bugs. They can also be custom-made with solar mesh to protect you and your porch furniture from harmful ultraviolet sun rays.

Why Do You Need a Retractable Screen?

Perhaps you envision using your porch year-round to take advantage of all the space and views your home has to offer during every season, even in the colder fall and winter months. In this case, The Sentry retractable clear vinyl window is your ideal choice. This exciting and attractive option can give your home or business a fresh appearance that makes it look as though it underwent remodeling without the added expense of new construction. Vinyl windows enable you to keep out any inclement weather during the cold months, which will help with your property’s energy efficiency while adding space to your home. With a touch of a remote control device, you can retract the window during the summer to enjoy the outdoor weather. Additionally, The Sentry has several mounting methods that can match your design goals and budget.
