When choosing high quality retractable awnings as a shade solution for your Orlando area home or business consider doing a manual and motorized awning comparison. If you’re buying cheap imports it may not matter. Cost of ownership when buying cheaper awnings may cost more over time once you factor replacement cost because poor quality doesn’t last.

Our awnings are not imports. The designs use premium materials, are made in the USA, and we offer your choice of manual or motorized versions of retractable awnings. The difference is slightly higher cost for motorized versions because of the motor and controls versus a simple hand crank to extend or retract the awning.

People choose motorized for ease of use, convenience, less physical work, and may prefer motorized awnings if they go through more frequent cycles between open and closed. Manual operation of our retractable awnings makes sense if they stay open for seasonal needs, and although not as convenient, manual versions only require average strength to extend or retract.

Keep in mind our awnings for your Orlando area home or business do not require vertical support posts so there’s less clutter to trip over or ruin your view. Finally, keep in mind our 150 mph coastal wind load approved awnings can withstand hurricane force winds to strict Florida State certified standards.

Manual or motorized? If you’re unsure when looking at quality retractable awnings from Roll Screen Solutions, call us and ask the experts. We service Orlando and Central Florida plus ship awning kits to all 50 states in the USA.

A new product line being offered by Roll Screen Solutions in Central Florida was featured at last weekend’s Orlando Home Show. As shown here, these are multi-unit umbrellas on a single upright for a unique shade solution. Unlike the small unit demo you may have seen at the home show, these are perfect as large area commercial umbrellas.

The photo above is a multiple commercial unit for a restaurant outdoor patio. Imagine 2,500 square feet of shade with only 4 uprights for a larger venue like the Miami Dolphin Stadium spectator area umbrellas, an Orlando area theme park, or large restaurant patio. Units may have gutters between umbrellas for even more protection from sun and light rain.

Visit our newest site to view more large area commercial umbrellas and download our literature.

When you decide you need a shade solution and consider retractable awnings don’t give up if you don’t have an awning dealer nearby. The Roll Shade Awnings product line from Roll Screen Solutions is available as quality retractable awning kits.

We ship do-it-yourself awning kits anywhere in the USA. If you’re not comfortable with doing the installation, hire a handyman or contractor to do the work for you.

Why pay more and why choose us? From experience we meet awning owners who made the mistake of buying based on price only to find their awning was more expensive in the long run.

Imagine a poor quality import that falls apart in a year or so as frequent replacements drive up the cost of ownership. It makes sense to pay more for quality, and Roll Screen Solutions only sells top quality products.

Choose from motorized or manual retractable awnings, or call us for advice about your application. We offer residential and commercial quality awnings designed to meet 150 mph coastal wind load approval to survive extreme weather conditions. Call or email us today with any questions about quality retractable awning kits.

When it comes to specifying high quality retractable awnings and retractable shade screens, we specialize in working with Florida home builders. Contractors building homes in the Orlando area of Central Florida wake up every day ready to perform a juggling act.

We’re not talking about the circus. Keeping a project on time and within budget takes a great deal of skill when coordinating all the resources for building a luxury home.

The demand for retractable shade screens and retractable awnings in Orlando and the surrounding communities has skyrocketed in recent years. Home and business owners are looking to retrofit existing construction with shade solutions including screens and awnings for the comfort of their family and customers.

As a result, architects and home builders now specify these high quality shade screen and retractable awnings in their blueprints for the new construction phase. In addition, we can assist in the design phase for retrofit of exisiting openings for your home or business.

Keep in mind the price tag on a retrofit as an afterthought is usually more, so specifying screens or awnings up front is more cost effective for the home builder, architect, and homeowner.

If requested by the homeowner half way through construction, the added work and delays may affect the bottom line and meeting any deadlines. In addition, motorized versions of retractable awnings and screens require power, so advance planning for electrical connections means lower overall cost for the builder and homeowner, as well.

Again, Roll Screen Solutions LLC specializes in sales and installation of high quality retractable awnings and retractable shade screens. Contact us for help or ask questions in the design phase to learn more about our reputation for working with Florida home builders and architects.

The Roll Screen Solutions, LLC family of products and current website for screens and awnings is going strong in 2010 with a site makeover and new products. Our reputation for high quality retractable screens and retractable awnings continues to grow and attract manufacturers with new shade solution related products.

As a result, in the last few years we’ve added 4 new product lines with local sales and installation of rollup shutters, cooling mist fans, security window and door screens, and roof gutter screens.

Until now those products were marketed directly or promoted at homeowner related trade shows. Each will now have a dedicated website!

Yes, during July each of our 6 product lines will have individual websites with matching color schemes.

That means spinning off content about awnings from FloridaRollScreens.com onto a new website at RollShadeAwnings.com, plus new sites for RollerStarCFL.com, CoolMistOrlando.com, SecureSystemsOrlando.com, and GutterScreensOrlando.com.

Finally, our blog moved to a permanent home on this domain for our new Company Headquarters Website at RollScreenSolutions.com. Please bookmark this Shade Solutions Blog for news and advice because when it comes to beating the heat you gotta believe “You can never BE too cool”.

Based on nationwide demand for our high quality retractable screens, shades, and awnings outside our Central Florida installation area, Roll Screen Solutions now provides kits for sale to individuals or companies in all 50 states. These are do-it-yourself kits for custom retractable screens and awnings with the same high quality that we install throughout Central Florida, and each comes with installation instructions.

Our kit customers across the USA will receive the same product warranty as our local customers. The only difference from our Central Florida projects is the installation warranty is not included because you or your contractor will be doing the work. In addition, dealers in other states are welcome to inquire about distributing our line of shade solution products for residential and commercial applications. We will ship our kits nationwide.

Take a moment to watch and listen to our video “Skyscraper Awning Solution” to learn how we would handle a difficult awning application near the top of a skyscraper in Orlando, Florida. The client wanted a mockup before adding a retractable awning over an open patio area of their business, so this simulation shows our approach.

Expect more video demonstrations of retractable roll screens, awnings, and shades for your home or business in the near future. Unlike this first simulated demo, we will feature start to finish video examples of real installations, and shorter demos that show what makes us different. Watch for video production releases on this blog in the future.

Retractable awnings, whether manual or motorized, provide a solution to instantly protect you and your home from the summer heat and rain.

Awnings add a distinctive, elegant look to your patio, terrace, deck, balcony, pool, or outdoor kitchen.

They can turn your outdoor area into a covered “room” and are designed to be rolled in and protected when not in use.

High quality awnings are designed and built with the latest computer technology, eliminating confining braces or upright poles for unobstructed views.

A retractable awning can be customized by fabric choice, projection level and widths to meet your needs.

Whether you’re looking for increased energy efficiency for your home or an outdoor covered area to be protected from the elements, retractable awnings are a perfect solution.
