Shade, Security & Climate Control for Commercial Properties

Commercial properties across Florida face constant exposure to sun, heat, insects, and changing weather conditions. For restaurants, offices, retail spaces, and hospitality venues, managing these elements is essential to maintaining comfort, usability, and customer experience.

At West Shore Construction, we install commercial-grade motorized screen systems designed specifically for Florida businesses. These systems provide automated shade, airflow control, privacy, and protection—while integrating seamlessly into commercial architecture.

With decades of experience serving West Central Florida, we help businesses create functional, adaptable spaces that perform reliably year-round.

Why Commercial Motorized Screens Matter

Unlike residential applications, commercial environments demand durability, automation, and flexibility. Motorized screens allow businesses to:

• Control sun and heat exposure throughout the day

• Extend usable square footage without permanent enclosures

• Improve customer comfort and retention

• Protect interiors, furnishings, and equipment from UV damage

• Maintain airflow while limiting insects and debris

• Adapt quickly to changing weather conditions

For many commercial properties, motorized screens are not just a convenience—they’re a strategic investment in usability and efficiency.

What Are Commercial Motorized Screens?

Commercial motorized screens are retractable screen systems installed over large openings, storefronts, patios, lanais, garages, and outdoor seating areas. Operated by motorized controls, these screens deploy or retract on demand, allowing businesses to adjust conditions instantly.

These systems are engineered to handle larger spans, higher usage cycles, and commercial-grade performance requirements.

Common commercial applications include:

• Restaurants and outdoor dining areas

• Bars and hospitality venues

• Retail storefronts and entrances

• Office buildings and common areas

• Hotels, resorts, and pool decks

• Commercial patios, lanais, and event spaces

Types of Commercial Motorized Screens We Install

Motorized Solar Screens

Designed to reduce heat and glare while preserving visibility, solar screens help regulate interior and exterior temperatures and improve energy efficiency.

Benefits include:

• Reduced solar heat gain

• UV protection for interiors and finishes

• Maintained outward visibility

• Improved comfort for customers and staff

Motorized Privacy Screens

Privacy mesh options reduce visibility into commercial spaces while still allowing airflow, making them ideal for dining areas, fitness spaces, and customer-facing environments.

Motorized Insect Screens

Insect screens allow businesses to keep doors and openings open while blocking mosquitoes, flies, and pests—especially valuable for restaurants and hospitality spaces.

Heavy-Duty Commercial Screen Systems

Commercial-grade systems are engineered for larger openings, frequent operation, and long-term durability, using reinforced components and corrosion-resistant materials.

Benefits of Commercial Motorized Screens

Improved Customer Experience

Comfortable, shaded, and insect-free spaces encourage guests to stay longer, return more often, and enjoy the space as intended.

Expanded Usable Space

Motorized screens allow businesses to use patios, open-air dining areas, and transitional spaces more consistently throughout the year.

Automated Control

Screens can be operated using:

• Wall switches

• Wireless remotes

• Smart-device integration

• Automated sun and wind sensors

This allows staff to adjust conditions quickly without disrupting operations.

Energy Efficiency

By reducing heat transfer through large openings and glass storefronts, motorized screens can help lower cooling demands and improve indoor comfort.

Protection Without Permanent Enclosure

Motorized screens offer flexibility without the regulatory and structural challenges of permanent walls or enclosures.

Built for Florida’s Commercial Environment

West Shore Construction installs systems designed to withstand Florida’s climate and commercial usage demands.

Commercial system features include:

• Corrosion-resistant aluminum frames and housings

• UV-, mold-, and mildew-resistant fabrics

• Reinforced tracks and weighted bottom bars

• Integrated cassette housings to protect screens when retracted

• High-cycle motors designed for frequent use

When paired with wind sensors, screens can automatically retract during high-wind conditions to protect the system.
