The case for motorized

One outdoor space.
Four kinds of weather.

Coastal afternoons turn fast — sunny one minute, gusty the next. Motorized screens give you complete control: drop them for shade and bug protection at sunset, raise them for breeze and sunset views, and let our hurricane-rated systems hold their own when the season turns.

We install on patios, porches, lanais, outdoor kitchens, second-story decks, three-season rooms, garages, and pool houses. Most installs disappear into the ceiling or trim line when raised — leaving the openness that made you want to live outside in the first place.

01 — Shade Screens

Block up to 99% of the sun.

Heavy-weave mesh that knocks down sun, glare, and heat without killing the breeze. We carry eight fabric varieties — from Nano 95/97 and Specialty AME 97 to Dim Out 99 and Textilene 80/90/95 — each with a different openness factor so you can dial in the exact balance of light, view, and shade you want.

The motors are concealed in a discreet header, and the entire system is finished in a powder-coated marine-grade casing. Especially powerful on south- and west-facing exposures where afternoon heat builds up.

  • Variety of fabric options
  • Up to 99% UV reduction (Dim Out 99)
  • Reduces HVAC load
  • Remote control deployment
  • Concealed motor housing

02 — Insect Screens

No-see-ums.
Stopped.

Tight-weave mesh that stops Carolina's no-see-ums, mosquitoes, and gnats — without giving up your view of the marsh, the dunes, or the kids in the yard. Drops in seconds at sunset; rolls back up in the morning.

  • No-see-um tight-weave mesh (20×20)
  • Pairs with shade screens in same opening

03 — Hurricane Screens

Storm-rated mesh.
Open view, secure home.

Structural mesh and reinforced tracks that turn an open porch into a hurricane-rated enclosure — without losing the view. Hurricane-rated screens are the perfect option for porches, outdoor kitchens, and more.

The mesh itself is a high-density polypropylene woven to the same impact standards as Dade-County shutter products — and the entire assembly slides into a pre-engineered structural track.

  • Impact-rated woven mesh, structurally tested
  • Reinforced aluminum tracking with breakaway tabs
  • Maintains visibility during a storm
  • Best for porches
  • Faster deploy than traditional shutters

04 — Clear Vinyl

Year-round outdoor room.

Clear vinyl curtains that motorize alongside our screens — turn a porch or three-season room into a four-season room without losing transparency. The crystal-clear vinyl lets natural light through and blocks cold wind and rain.

Restaurants love them for off-season patio dining. Homeowners love them for protecting outdoor plants and pool cabanas through winter. We install them as a standalone system or as a dual system combined with a shade or insect screen.

  • Double-polished crystal-clear vinyl
  • Stack with shade + insect screens in one header
  • Multiple vinyl border colors available

Common questions

Screen
questions.

What homeowners ask before screening a porch.

What is a motorized retractable patio screen?

A motorized screen is a mesh panel that rolls down from a discreet housing at the touch of a button and disappears completely when retracted. It turns a patio, porch, deck, or lanai into an enclosed room without building walls.

Do motorized screens keep out no-see-ums?

Yes, with the right mesh. Standard insect mesh stops mosquitoes; a tighter no-see-um mesh is available for coastal properties where the smaller biting midges are the problem.

Can motorized screens be used on a porch as well as a patio?

Yes. The most common installs are patios and porches, but the same system works on decks, three-season rooms, outdoor kitchens, garages, and pool houses.

What happens to a motorized screen in a storm?

Shade and insect screens should be retracted in high wind. Storm-rated mesh is available where the screen also needs to serve as hurricane protection.

Which towns do you install motorized screens in?

Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Murrells Inlet, Conway, Little River, Longs, Pawleys Island, North Myrtle Beach, and Carolina Forest, plus Charleston and coastal North Carolina.
