Improve Your Outdoor Space With Exterior Screen Shades
Do you have an outdoor living space that’s off-limits during inclement weather or when insects crash your parties? Retractable screens give you control over your exterior spaces by being there when you need them and disappearing when you don’t.
At North Idaho Blinds, Shades & Shutters, we carry exterior screen shades to help keep your outdoor space comfortable. Our team can help you find the right ones for your family and lifestyle.
What Are Retractable Screens?
Retractable screens offer the same protection as permanent ones but raise neatly into a headrail when you’re not using them. They’re available in many openness levels, so you can customize your light control and privacy while still seeing your backyard.
Exterior screen shades come in various sizes to cover doors, windows, or patios and have a motorized or manual control system.
Benefits of Exterior Screen Shades
It’s understandable to feel frustrated when the patio or pergola you invested in isn’t usable when you want it to be.
- Retractable screens offer several other benefits, in addition to extending your backyard’s usability, including:
- Blocking UV rays and heat gain with just the solar shade screen’s materials. This protection prevents damage to outdoor furniture and skin while reducing the heat entering your home.
- Protecting your privacy and avoid nosy neighbors with exterior screen shades. Various screen opacities let you decide what sun control and privacy ratio is right for you.
- Enhancing your home’s aesthetic and making it more desirable if you sell it in the future.
- Preventing your screen from blowing around when the wind picks up with weighted hem bars and zipper tracks.
- Integrating motorized screens with many of today’s popular smart home and automation configurations.
Other Ways to Elevate Your Exterior Space
Here are some other ways you can elevate your exterior space once you install your retractable screens:
- Invest in outdoor furniture. An outdoor area rug, for example, adds visual interest and makes the space more welcoming, or, if you have a big outdoor space, create conversation zones with small groups of seating sectioned with rugs.
- Keep your yard and landscaping well-groomed so you’ll enjoy a stunning view.
- Ensure you have sufficient lighting, as gatherings don’t always end when the sun goes down. String lights have a relaxing vibe, and in-ground lighting helps light pathways.
- Create an organic ambiance with large potted plants and a water feature.
- Consider an outdoor kitchen or small bar area, if space allows, so you won’t have to leave the party when it’s time for refills.
