Florida’s Clearwater and Tampa Bay areas offer ample opportunities for outdoor living, thanks to abundant sunshine and warm weather almost year-round. However, the intensity of the Florida sun can sometimes detract from the enjoyment of outdoor spaces. From heat and glare to damaging UV rays, Florida’s weather can make it difficult to fully enjoy a patio, lanai, or veranda without extra protection. Motorized solar screens are the perfect solution, bringing comfort, privacy, and energy savings to your outdoor living areas.

West Shore Construction offers custom motorized solar screens that block the sun’s heat, reduce glare, and protect outdoor furnishings, all while maintaining airflow. Here’s how solar screens can enhance your outdoor spaces and help you make the most of every sunny day in the Tampa Bay area.

Benefits of Motorized Solar Screens for Outdoor Living

Motorized solar screens offer several key benefits that transform outdoor areas into comfortable, inviting spaces:

Energy Savings and Reduced Costs

Installing solar screens can positively impact your energy bills. By blocking the sun’s rays, solar screens prevent excess heat from entering your home, reducing the strain on your cooling system. This can lead to significant savings, with homeowners seeing up to a 33% reduction in energy costs. In Florida’s hot climate, keeping the temperature under control means both increased comfort and lower utility bills, making solar screens an investment that pays off.

Cooler Outdoor Spaces

Solar screens block up to 97% of harmful UV rays while still allowing airflow, creating a cooler environment on patios, verandas, and other outdoor spaces. By deploying motorized solar screens, you can lower the ambient temperature by as much as 15 degrees. With the touch of a button, a sunny, overheated area can be transformed into a shaded, refreshing retreat, perfect for enjoying Florida’s beautiful weather without the excessive heat.

Reduced Sun Glare

Sun glare can make it difficult to enjoy electronics, read a book, or even sit comfortably in outdoor spaces. Motorized solar screens are designed to reduce glare, making outdoor areas more functional and enjoyable. Watching a game, working on a laptop, or reading a book becomes hassle-free, with no need to strain your eyes or deal with uncomfortable glare. West Shore Construction’s solar screens are retractable, so you can lower them when glare is an issue and raise them when it’s not, making outdoor areas versatile for all kinds of activities.

Protection for Outdoor Furnishings

Just like indoor furniture, outdoor furnishings are vulnerable to sun damage. Continuous exposure to UV rays can cause fading, cracking, and wear on fabrics, wood, and other materials. Solar screens filter the sunlight, preventing intense UV rays from directly hitting outdoor furniture. By installing solar screens, you can extend the life of your patio chairs, tables, and rugs, ensuring they stay vibrant and in good condition for years.

Customizable Motorized Solar Screens to Fit Any Outdoor Space

At West Shore Construction, we know every home and outdoor space is unique. That’s why we offer customizable motorized solar screens that can be tailored to fit nearly any window, door, or open area. Whether you need screens for standard windows, picture windows, patios, or lanais, our solar screens can be manufactured up to 25 feet wide and 16 feet tall. Here are a few areas where solar screens can be particularly useful:

•Lanais, Patios, and Verandas: Ideal for creating a cooler, bug-free outdoor space.

Our team of professionals will ensure that each screen is installed to seamlessly integrate with your outdoor area. We work closely with clients to select the ideal sizes, styles, and finishes that meet their specific needs.

Motorized Control and Smart Technology

One of the biggest advantages of motorized solar screens is their effortless operation. Equipped with programmable remote controls, our solar screens can be deployed or retracted with a simple push of a button, giving you control over sunlight and privacy. Additionally, our motorized screens are compatible with smart technology, enabling you to schedule when screens are raised or lowered, even if you’re not home.

Imagine having screens automatically lower during the hottest part of the day, cooling your outdoor spaces and protecting furniture without needing to remember or lift a finger. West Shore Construction provides advanced control options that make sun protection a seamless part of your lifestyle.

Special Features of West Shore Construction’s Solar Screens

In addition to sun protection and temperature control, our motorized solar screens offer several innovative features that make them ideal for any outdoor space:

•Airflow and Insect Protection: Our screens are woven to allow air to pass through while keeping pests like mosquitoes and flies out. This means you can enjoy fresh air without the nuisance of bugs.

•Durable Weight Bar and Seal: The screen’s weight bar includes a felt pile that seals against uneven surfaces such as pavers and stone, ensuring stability and complete coverage.

•Long-Lasting Construction: Designed to withstand Florida’s humid and salty climate, our screens are rust-resistant and resistant to chipping and peeling.

•Debris-Resistant Hood System: The screen’s hood includes a system that brushes off dirt and debris as it retracts, keeping your screens clean and functioning smoothly.

Additionally, West Shore Construction partners with Progressive Screens, an industry leader known for its proprietary MagnaTrack system. This system uses strategically placed magnets to keep the screens perfectly aligned and stable, eliminating 98% of common issues associated with retractable screens. The MagnaTrack system provides smooth, reliable operation, ensuring years of trouble-free use.
