Patio Screens

Retractable patio screens, or drop screens, are versatile shade solutions designed to improve outdoor comfort and usability. They provide protection from the sun, wind, and insects while maintaining a clean and stylish appearance. Patio screens enhance privacy and moderate temperature, improving in-home comfort or enhancing your California room, patio, deck, or other outdoor living area.

Retractable Patio Screen Guide Systems

Extruded Aluminum Fabric Retention Track

With 8 standard colors that are sure to match your aesthetic, the powder coated aluminum fabric retention track allows your retractable patio screen to effortlessly glide up and down. This premium product is ideal for enclosing your California room or freestanding patio, to keep the bugs and prying eyes out. Since it seals the edges, it’s also the preferred product for improving climate control in your outdoor living area. Use it in winter to keep the cold out, or in summer to block the scorching sun.
