Summer starts on June 20—is your outdoor patio ready for the season? At A Shade Above, our design team helps home and business owners power up their patios with high-quality motorized outdoor screens.

If your patio isn’t reaching its full potential, motorized screen shades are exactly how to get more livable space for your home. These innovative shades also make decks, porches, and balconies more accessible and comfortable year-round.

The patented MagnaTrack™ system by Progressive Screens has a sophisticated aesthetic that enhances curb appeal. Instead of awkward mechanical tracks or zippers that add a bulky or unattractive look to your exterior, the screens roll into a streamlined housing when not used, so you’ll still have that desirable open feel. MagnaTrack™ screen shades operate with magnets and self-correcting Keder interlock channels that prevent jamming or hanging up.

The well-engineered MagnaTrack™ motor is quiet and extends the fabric to your specifications. It’ll stop where you want it to for full or partial coverage. It resists up to 375 lbs. of force and 75+ mph winds and has a 10-year warranty. Our experts can customize these outdoor motorized shades for windows up to 30′ wide.

The most apparent advantage of outdoor screen shades is weather protection. Outdoor motorized shades block wind, reduce glare, and provide shelter from light rain. The UV protection also protects outdoor furniture from fading.

Another significant benefit is insect control. The screens keep mosquitoes, flies, and other pests away, without completely enclosing the area. That’s especially important when you’re outside eating or using the outdoor space in the evening.

Motorized outdoor screens also protect privacy; you and your guests won’t feel exposed to neighbors or passersby. The screens create visual barriers while maintaining airflow and natural lighting.

Our clients also benefit from fewer service calls. The screens don’t get stuck since MagnaTrack™ doesn’t use awkward zippers. Also important: The easy-to-use motorized controls mean you can adjust coverage quickly when the weather changes. No manual cranking or physical effort is needed, which saves considerable time and effort.

Businesses with outdoor motorized shades draw in more people. Customers feel more comfortable in fresh air and tend to stay longer. And since the shades provide sun and weather protection, business owners have more usable square footage for entertaining clients.

Exterior shades offer businesses even more benefits:

• Motorization allows staff to adjust coverage quickly without manual effort, improving service speed and reducing labor costs.
• More time outside reduces indoor cooling needs and potential energy savings; shades block heat gain through windows and glass facades.
• They’ll immediately elevate your brand image.
• Outdoor screens protect valuable outdoor furniture and equipment from UV damage and weather exposure.
