Frequently Asked Questions About Our
Motorized Screens
Motorized screens are large mesh blinds that help prevent insects from getting into your home, reduce sun glare, control heat build, and provide privacy too. Furthermore, they are powered because they are usually large, so it’s easier to deploy them by motor rather than by hand.
In recent years, we’ve seen an exploding trend of glass in architectural design – predominantly with large sliding and bifold doors.
More glass of course means more light and exposure to people looking into your house. More light means more heat, more glare, more bugs, and more risk of sun-bleaching. These factors create a greater need for privacy and heat management in modern homes.
Motorized screens deal with all of these challenges without blocking your view or impacting the look of your beautiful home.
There a various mesh types available – depending on the chosen mesh, motorized screens may be referred to as:
Power screens
Solar screens
Privacy screens
Yes — quality motorized screens are built specifically for Florida conditions. The tracks are wind-resistant, the fabric is UV-rated, and the motors are sealed to handle heat and humidity. With proper installation, they can withstand high winds and daily sun exposure. Many brands are engineered to last 10–15 years or more.
Motorized screens are an investment, but they instantly create usable living space, protect furniture from sun damage, improve energy efficiency, and add home value. Most homeowners say they use their patio or porch 2–3x more after installing them. Over time, the savings and extra living space make them one of the highest-ROI exterior upgrades.
Yes — when installed with side tracks, motorized screens create a sealed perimeter that keeps out mosquitoes, flies, no-see-ums, and most small insects. They turn patios, garages, and decks into fully usable spaces even at night.
Not at all. Most homeowners choose solar mesh fabrics that block heat and glare while still giving you a clear, comfortable view outside. You get shade and privacy without feeling “closed in.”
Once you’ve placed an order with The Shade & Drape Co, our manufacturing team will begin the work on your screens.
The average time from order to installation is around six weeks.
