Trees shed their leaves late in Florida which affects when roof gutters get plugged up. Going by the calendar, Fall in Central Florida begins in September yet foliage usually falls later, so December could be the right time to install a Florida late Fall GutterGuard® solution.

Roll Screen Solutions LLC provides sales and installation of this unique roof gutter system for keeping gutters clean from leaves and other debris.

Our service area includes Orlando and the surrounding communities of Central Florida.

Imagine the advantages of being able to eliminate gutter cleaning forever, filter out all debris from your gutter, and have a first stage filter if you have a rain harvesting system.

Our gutter screen systems are designed with top quality materials for superior performance and built to last.

People falling from ladders is one of the most common preventable home accidents, and the annual ritual of cleaning roof gutters is especially dangerous due to the height. Why risk injury when a GutterGuard® can save you the headaches of cleaning gutters every year?

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.

Since the launch earlier this year of individual websites for our shade and screen related product lines, our retractable awning content transferred recently from FloridaRollScreens.com to RollShadeAwnings.com.

These two sites represent the original and oldest product lines, and were previously combined on one site. It made sense to spin off the awning related content as we continue to grow.

As a reminder, our motorized and manual retractable awnings are made in the USA with top quality material. We provide sales, service, and installation in Orlando and the surrounding communities of Central Florida. We offer awning kits, too!

Our full range of awnings are also available as kits for do-it-yourself projects, and can be shipped to all 50 states in the USA.

Please visit our website at RollShadeAwnings.com for retractable awnings and bookmark the site.

The awning website will continue to grow as we add more awning product information, retractable awning project photographs, and related awning news and advice.

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.

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.

Is Florida really getting hotter every summer, or is it just our imagination or poor memory about prior years? The answer is found in weather statistics, and yes… lately it truly is getting hotter every year. For the last few years cool misting fans in Florida have been a practical solution for beating the heat.

Roll Screen Solutions LLC is known in Orlando and surrounding Central Florida communities for high quality awning and shade screen products. In addition, we have unique and innovative products to help your family and customers stay comfortable like our cool misting fans that we added in 2009.

View the photo of the commercial fan examples shown and then imagine a small pump feeding water to each fan that is vaporized through a specialized nozzle and reduces the ambient temperature by as much as 15-20 degrees! Cool misting fans are available for residential or commercial applications.

Don’t worry about soaking the kids, friends, or customers.

The technology of our cool misting fans works so well because the water evaporates within 3 feet of being pumped from the fan, so your family and guests remain cool and dry. Learn more about our Orlando cool misting fan product line at the CoolMistOrlando.com website, or contact us today for a fast friendly quote.
