Insect screens in Carteret County.
Anyone who's spent a still June evening near the marsh — on a Beaufort porch, a Harkers Island dock house, or anywhere Down East — knows the no-see-ums arrive right when the evening gets good. Shade Coast installs motorized insect screens that drop at the push of a button to seal the porch, so the sound breeze keeps moving and the biting bugs stay on the other side of the mesh.
No-See-Um
Mesh
A tighter 17×20 weave that stops the marsh gnats standard screens let through.
Breeze
Stays In
Bugs out, sound breeze through — the porch stays comfortable, never stuffy.
Up & Away
by Button
Retracts fully into a slim housing when you want the porch wide open.
Mesh that matches the pest.
Carteret County sits between sound, marsh, and ocean, and the bug pressure changes with the address. Homes backed up to the Newport River marshes fight mosquitoes; waterfront porches around Beaufort and Down East fight no-see-ums fine enough to walk through ordinary screening. Shade Coast matches the mesh to what's actually biting at your house, then custom-fits each screen to your porch, patio, or outdoor kitchen.
- Mosquito Screen (16×14) — the standard weave for solid all-around protection against mosquitoes and larger flying insects.
- No-See-Um Screen (17×20) — a finer mesh engineered to block the gnats and sand flies that pass straight through ordinary screening.
- Motorized operation — lower and raise from a remote or wall switch; no panels to wrestle, nothing to store.
- Custom-fit framing — built to your exact openings so there are no gaps for insects to find.
One housing,
more than bugs.
The same retractable system can also throw shade or close in a vinyl wall. Spec each opening for the job it has to do.
