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.

Enjoy the long term benefits of a custom shade solution including enhanced comfort and lower cost of ownership by considering shade kits from Roll Screen Solutions.

The saying Beat the HEAT in Central Florida usually refers to that basketball team from Miami whenever they play the Orlando Magic. 2011 continues to set temperature records across the USA and it’s still the right time to consider options from Roll Screen Solutions for keeping cool in this Florida heat wave.

We provide sales, installation, and service of retractable awnings and retractable screens plus other related shade solution products in Orlando and the surrounding communities of Central Florida. In addition, customers outside Florida may order screen or awning kits for do-it-yourself projects or when hiring a subcontractor or handyman.

Our shade screen products are available for commercial customers as well as residential.

Have an awning or screen kit shipped to your door and it’s possible to be enjoying the shade and keeping your cool the very same day. Roll Screen Solutions ships kits to all 50 states. Yes, we even ship kits within Florida if you are outside our Orlando and Central Florida service area.

Don’t suffer from the sweltering heat when affordable high quality shade solutions are available now. Considering new retractable awnings or retractable screens is especially practical anytime for southern states with hot weather 6 months or more every year.

Call 407-345-9283 or toll free 1-877-850-5281 today with any questions about what you need for keeping your cool in this Florida heat wave.

As summer gets closer it’s time again to evaluate screen and awning shade solutions for your home or business to help keep family and customers comfy.

Imagine the difficulty of keeping your cool 500 years ago. Back then the Florida temperature and humidity, with reference to bugs and other wild creatures, were topics in reports to Europe from the first explorers to the Sunshine State.

After encountering the sweltering heat and humidity, plus swarms of mosquitoes, they wrote back to Spain to report “We have landed in a place that will never be inhabited by human beings.” Those first explorers certainly could not foresee the invention of air conditioning – or 18 million inhabitants 500 years later.

The first documented evidence of European explorers arriving in Florida began with Juan Ponce de León’s first visit in 1513. It’s easy to imagine their negative first impression about the heat. Fortunately, we have practical solutions to overcome the heat including lower cost alternatives like roll screen shades and retractable awnings.

Let Roll Screen Solutions help you choose the right methods to stay cool this summer. With record temperatures throughout the country, keep in mind we can provide retractable shade and awning kits to residential or commercial customers in all 50 states. All you need is a few tools or hire a handyman or contractor to do the installation for you.

Help us provide better service with feedback about do-it-yourself shade screens if you are considering buying and installing a retractable roll screen.

Don’t make the mistake of buying based on low price, or you may regret the choice if you end up needing a replacement long before you imagined.

Quality products can make the difference in long-term cost of ownership, and our retractable roll screens are made in the USA with the best materials possible. We currently ship retractable awning kits to all 50 states for do-it-yourself home projects, and are considering adding retractable screens next.

For now roll screens have been sold and installed by us locally in the Orlando Florida area and nearby communities of Central Florida. Perhaps you’re handy working with tools and want to add a retractable roll screen to your porch, patio, lanai, or garage. Maybe you plan to hire a local contractor to do it for you.

Your feedback can help us develop the kits and instructions for do-it-yourself retractable roll screen installations. There are numerous factors to consider to make sure jobs are measured and specified correctly to insure selection of a proper screen and suitable how-to procedures.

For example, to retrofit for an existing structure requires a different approach than new construction. Depending on your home design you may have to decide between an outside mount, inside mount, or in-frame recessed mount. Our idea is to help you avoid the costly mistake of forcing the wrong design to work in your application.

Thinking about a retractable screen kit to help keep cool this summer? Contact us at 407-345-9283 to discuss your application. If we decide to make roll screen kits we will seriously consider your input. Thanks.

Not all awnings are equal. Our custom Florida 2008 awning price guide shows a base price range of $1725 to $6540 that you may use for budgetary purposes for these high quality retractable awnings that are made 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.

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.

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.
