How Retractable Protection Screens Shield Your Space

Retractable protection screens offer homeowners a wide range of advantages. At Giglio Awning, we install Sentry motorized retractable screens by Sunesta, a leading producer of quality awnings and screens. These screens are made from the highest quality materials, ensuring durability and protection season after season from the following:

Pests and Bugs

Nothing disrupts a relaxing summer evening outdoors faster than gnats, mosquitoes, and other pests. Retractable screens create a physical barrier that keeps insects out without blocking your view or fresh air. Whether you’re dining alfresco or enjoying a quiet night with a book, you can do so without the constant swatting or smell of bug spray.

Harsh Sunlight

Too much sun can turn your outdoor space into a heat trap. Retractable screens provide UV protection, reducing glare and blocking harmful rays while allowing natural light to pass through. This helps regulate temperature and protects your outdoor furniture from sun fading and damage over time.

Wind and Dust

Gusty winds, flying pollen, and dust can turn a pleasant day into a mess. Retractable screens act as a wind shield. They help create a comfortable breeze while protecting your space from dust, leaves, and dirt.

Nosy Neighbors

Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or relaxing after a long day, sometimes you just want some privacy. Retractable screens offer subtle, stylish seclusion from nearby neighbors or passersby. They offer a way to be alone without needing to install heavy curtains, fences, or walls.

Rain and Storms

Light rain and sudden thunderstorms don’t have to put an end to your evening. Retractable screens provide a protective barrier from storms and keep water out, allowing you to continue enjoying the outdoors even during unpredictable weather.

Other Benefits

In addition to protection from the elements and nosy neighbors, retractable screens also help improve energy efficiency. By blocking direct sunlight, they reduce heat transfer inside your home, which can lower cooling costs during warmer months. Plus, they add value and curb appeal to your property. They blend seamlessly into your home’s exterior when not in use and create an extra living space that increases your home’s resale value. Retractable screens are a smart and stylish upgrade that offers year-round benefits.
