What Is a Motorized Screen Room?
A motorized screen room is similar to a screened-in porch area. However, unlike a traditional screened-in porch, you can retract the walls of a motorized screen room whenever you want. This helps you extend your outdoor living space, giving you a covered area that’s perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
When you want to open it up, all you have to do is press a button. Then, when you want the screen walls to come back down, press it again to give the space a completely new feel. Motorized screen rooms are perfect for homeowners looking to create a versatile outdoor living area.
How Does a Motorized Screen Room Work?
When we help you build a motorized screen room, the walls are made from a fabric or mesh screen. But, unlike traditional walls, you’re in control of whether you want them down or up.
When you press the button, the electric motor will power the screens to make them quietly coil around the roller, where they will sit in a protective cover called the housing, hidden away from view. When you want to put the screens back down, they will unroll again.
Benefits of Motorized Screen Rooms
Are you wondering if adding a motorized screen room to your home is the right choice for your family?
Let’s explore some of the benefits of this type of outdoor living space.
Customized For Your Space
Our motorized screens come in various materials, colors, and designs, so you can match them to the rest of your home’s exterior. Depending on your personal design aesthetic, we can help you create a chic and modern motorized screen room or one that has a more traditional look.
We can also create motorized screen rooms in virtually any size, so whether you have a large backyard or a small one, we can create the perfect outdoor space for your needs.
Protection From Bugs
Mosquitoes, spiders, and other bugs swarming around can put a damper on the time you spend enjoying your outdoor space. After all, what’s worse than seeing a fly land on your drink or feeling mosquitoes bite your legs all night?
With a motorized screen room, it will be harder for bugs to make their way into your outdoor space, so you don’t have to deal with pests. Want to have extra protection against bugs, even when the screens are rolled up? Consider adding Spider Docktor to your space with the help of our experts at Sun Solutions.
Use All Year
Depending on the screen fabric you choose, we can create a space that you can use year- round. Some of the screen fabric available will hold heat in very well and keep out 95% of the rain and wind. Investing in an outdoor space that can be used year-round seems to be a big factor with most of our customers.
Automated Screens
Are you a fan of smart home technology? Then you’ll love all the automation features you can set up for your motorized screen room. Aside from the easy-to-use remote, which allows you to control your screens, some screens come with wind and sun sensors, so your shades will automatically lower or lift depending on the weather outside.
They Can Boost Your Home Value
If you’re thinking of selling your home in the coming months, adding a motorized screen room to your home is a high-value update. Screened-in areas have an average 75% return on investment and they appeal to many prospective homebuyers because they add more usable space to your home.
Even if you don’t plan to sell your home anytime soon, you can get enjoyment out of your motorized screen room now and feel confident that it’s a high-value update that may help you get more money if you do decide to sell later.
They Don’t Block the View
When you’re spending time in your backyard, few things are more relaxing than just sitting back and taking in the view. With a motorized screen room, you don’t have to give up the beautiful view outside. Thanks to the types of screens we install, you won’t have an obstructed view even when they are lowered.
They Can Help Keep You Cooler
Here in the Decatur, AL, area, we get plenty of sun. If you want to spend more time outside while staying cooler and reducing the risk of UV exposure, adding a motorized screen room to your home is the perfect solution.
Your motorized screen walls will help block out unwanted sunlight, which will help keep the room at a more comfortable temperature, even during the summer.
You Can Enjoy More Privacy
Do you think you would spend more time in your backyard if it felt a bit more private? The problem with a traditional patio or deck is that it’s more exposed to your neighbors. Adding a motorized screen room to your backyard helps to create more of a barrier so you can host guests, eat a meal, or just leisurely read without feeling like you’re on display.
More Energy Efficient
Are you looking for ways to save on energy costs? Adding a motorized screen room to your backyard is a great way to do it. Since our motorized screens help to block out excess sunlight behind your house, your home will naturally stay a bit cooler in the summer, so you don’t have to rely as much on your air conditioner.
In the winter, you can retract the screens to allow extra sunlight in, which will warm your home, also helping you save on energy costs.
