The advantages of a retractable roll screen during warmer months is obvious because it helps keep your living space cool. Just as roll screens help cool in summer, our retractable roll screens can insulate and help save energy in winter, too.

Roll Screen Solutions builds custom retractable screens for patios, lanais, and porches. We manufacture custom retractable screens for doors, as well.

The photo shown here is a retractable screen for an Orlando area residential front door with the door open (left), and the same door closed (right).

For our customers in the Orlando Florida area, door shades provide energy savings, help keep out insects, and add protection from harmful uv rays during all seasons.

They call Florida the sunshine state for a reason. Use door shades to avoid the potential damage to furniture or property by uv rays from long term exposure in winter.

Commercial or residential owners looking for awning or shade screen solutions are reminded that we ship kits to all 50 states. You don’t have to live in the Orlando area or even Florida to enjoy high quality shade kits from Roll Screen Solutions.

Our roll shade and awning kits include all materials necessary except the tools and labor to install retractable shade solutions. Try do-it-yourself screen or awning installation, or you may want to hire a handyman or local contractor. Most projects should take less than a day from start to finish if you’ve done the prep work before the kit arrives.

To get started, and before you contact us, take measurements and photographs to send by email. Show us the intended location for mounting the screen or awning from different angles, and then describe your plan for the finished look.

Do these basics for each unit if you need more than one.

In addition, decide on preferences like motorized vs. manual operation plus any other options you have in mind.

Based on your input, dimensions, and the description of your awning or screen requirements we’ll provide a proposal with price and estimated ship date for the awning or shade screen kit. We will ask for additional details as necessary.

Our roll screen shade and awning products are produced with high quality materials. Unlike cheap imports that may look right yet feature inferior quality that you may regret later, our screens and awnings are built to last.

The idea behind awning fabric quality cost savings for your Florida home or business shade solutions is simply pay more for something that lasts longer. Useful life can be measured in time yet our high quality retractable awnings offer savings in less obvious ways, too. Cost of ownership is lower over the long term when you avoid cheap imports and consider purchasing top quality patio, door, and window awnings.

Window and door awnings can reduce your energy costs. Technical evaluation by the ASHRAE American Society of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers concluded that the choice of awning fabric can reduce heat in your home or business. Their studies report using solution dyed acrylic fabrics on awnings can drastically save energy by lowering your electric bill.

Our custom retractable motorized or manual awnings are constructed with Sunbrella brand solution dyed acrylic and double stitched with Gortex thread. In addition to high quality awning fabric, we offer over 400 color choices in solids or stripes. Why buy a cheap product you have to repair or replace often? Our awning fabric materials are known to last up to 12-15 years, so consider the useful life and energy savings when ready to add new awnings to your Orlando area home or business.

Keep in mind we do awning sales, installation, and service in Orlando and the surrounding communities of Central Florida. Elsewhere in the USA we ship retractable awning kits for homeowners or commercial business to all 50 states. Have a contractor or handyman to do the installation? Visit our Florida awning website or contact us today to learn more about how to specify and order a retractable awning for your patio, doors, or windows.

Our custom retractable awnings are designed to withstand winds up to 150 mph coastal wind load which is important for our customers, especially in the Orlando and Central Florida area. Keeping your motorized awning retracted during a storm is still best for the life of the product, so here’s some advice for retractable awnings and high winds.

Most importantly, our advice is to roll in the awning each night and be aware of the weather at all times so the awning is primarily used under proper and normal weather conditions. When you’re away, nature may not cooperate, so there’s still protection when the awning encounters high winds.

Unlike cheap imported awnings, our retractable awning construction will withstand hurricane force winds to strict certified Florida standards. The high quality is appropriate outside of Florida, also, and we ship awning kits to all 50 states in the USA. If you are at home when a storm approaches, our advice is retracting the awning rather than test the hurricane rating.

Otherwise, we recommend an optional wind sensor system for your retractable awning to sense wind speed and automatically retract the awning to avoid potential high wind damage. Keep in mind the wind sensor operates on electricity, so an emergency backup generator would be needed in case of a power outage.

Call 407-345-9283 with any questions about retractable awning sales and installation in Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida communities, or custom residential or commercial retractable awning kits shipped anywhere in the USA.

In choosing a shade solution with retractable roll screens, homeowners have the option of retrofit or new construction screens for their home. View the photos below for an example of a motorized retractable screen for new construction.

We can work with you, the custom home builder, or your architect to design the perfect solution in manual or motorized roll shade screens.

This first photo (above left) shows archways leading to the pool and patio area of a new home construction project.

Note the slots for the screens in the vertical column and the header compartment at the top that holds the screen in the rolled up postion.

The next view (above right) is from the outside showing screens at each opening in different levels of being raised.

Looking from the outside you can still see the column slots yet the roll up compartment is hidden from view. Certainly it is more cost effective and aesthetically pleasing to have roll screens designed-in during the custom home construction planning phase.

However, our products are designed to retrofit in custom applications so that they look like part of the original plan.

Depending on the shape of the opening we will suggest the best option with the screen mounted inside, outside, or within the opening. Questions? Call for a prompt reply today!

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.
