01 / 04 — Shade Screens

Block up to 99% of the sun.

Heavy-weave solar mesh that knocks down sun, glare, and heat without killing the breeze. Eight mesh fabrics let you dial in the exact balance of light, view, and shade — particularly powerful on south- and west-facing exposures where the Carolina afternoon sun loads up the home.

Lower bills, cooler rooms

Reduce HVAC load
and cool your rooms.

Particularly suited for Carolina coast homes — Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Charleston — shade screens block harsh sunlight, reducing glare and afternoon heat while lowering air-conditioning costs. The motorized controls let you adjust without manual effort, and the screens integrate seamlessly with the home's exterior aesthetic.

Screens drop in seconds at the press of a button. Most installs hide the motor housing entirely behind a custom-painted header that matches your trim.

Real-world impact: a properly-sized shade screen can drop indoor temperatures 8–15°F in a room during peak summer afternoons. That's measurable energy savings, less HVAC strain, and protection for the furniture and floors that fade fastest in the Carolina sun.

Fabric library

Eight solar-mesh
fabric options.

Different "openness factors" trade more view-through for less light blocking. We help you pick the right mesh for each opening based on exposure and how you want to use the space.

95

Nano 95

Premium daytime view-through mesh. Slightly more openness for clearer sight lines outward, while still cutting glare and UV significantly.

97

Nano 97 + AME 97

Tighter weave for higher UV blocking. Specialty AME 97 has matte black warp threads for the lowest reflectivity from outside.

99

Dim Out 99

The maximum block — near-total shade, ideal for theater rooms, west-facing master bedrooms, or screened patios where you want full UV control.

80

Textilene 80

The most open mesh in our lineup — best view-through, blocks ~80% of UV. Common choice for patios where the view matters most.

90

Textilene 90

Balanced openness — blocks 90% of UV while preserving outward visibility. The all-around favorite for general-purpose installs.

95

Textilene 95 + Shadeview 95

Tighter Textilene weave at 95% block, plus Shadeview 95 — a popular mid-priced solar mesh with superior color retention.

Where they install

Anywhere the sun
is winning.

Care & maintenance

Designed to last decades
on the salt-air coast.

Our motorized shade screens are built to live outside year-round in coastal Carolina and Georgia. Maintenance is minimal — most clients never need to do anything beyond an occasional rinse.

Recommended care

  • Rinse the mesh once a year with a garden hose — removes pollen, dust, salt residue. No detergent needed.
  • Inspect tracks for debris twice a year — pine needles, leaves, and seeds can lodge in the side tracks.
  • Cycle the motor monthly — even if you don't need shade, run it up and down once a month.
  • Annual professional service available — inspection, lubrication, recalibration. Recommended for high-use screens.
