When asked what their favourite seasons are, most people would undoubtedly proclaim that they prefer patio weather to the cold and frigid climate of winter in Ontario. Considering that there wasn’t much of an outdoor patio season to speak of this year, it’s understandable that a lot of Canadians are eager to get outside as much as possible without necessarily having to brave the cold and snow.If you’d like to get more use out of your patio during the winter months, then here are some incredible benefits of investing in retractable screens for your home.
Energy Saving
A screened in porch is a great year-round energy-saving solution. Natural cross-ventilation in the spring and summer means you can turn off the air conditioning and enjoy cool breezes and air flow throughout your home without letting in unwanted insects. In the winter, the insulated screens protect your patio space from external elements, keeping it nice and toasty warm for year-round usage without sending your heating system into overdrive.
Boost Your Curb Appeal
A screened in porch will give your home an added layer of luxury without breaking the bank. In addition to being affordable and easy to install, a screened in patio adds a great deal of value to your home. By giving you the option to open up or close off your outdoor space whenever you want, this is a great investment and addition to your home that will undoubtedly increase its resale value and your curb appeal.
Temperature Control Options
Another benefit of installing retractable sun shades or shade screens on your screened in porch is that they allow you to control the temperature on your deck. On sunny days, simply lower the screens and the temperature will drop a few degrees. If you want to increase the temperature, you can lift the screens up and let in more sunshine.
Protection from the Sun and UV Rays
Extensive exposure to UV rays from the sun can be extremely harmful to you and to your patio furniture. A retractable sun shade offers plenty of protection from the sun, so that you can enjoy your time in your outdoor living space freely and for as long as you want.
Durable and User-Friendly
Motorized retractable screens are very easy to install and use. They are remote controlled, allowing them to open and retract with the touch of a button. With Dreamscreens’ patented “Wind Bar” bracing technology, the screen can remain taut and withstand high wind loads and impacts. They also have an automatic release feature to prevent the screen from tearing, guaranteeing ease of use and convenience.
Customizable and Elegant
Outdoor porch screens are customizable and discreet. They easily retract into their housing when not in use, therefore they don’t look bulky or out of place. You can choose from a variety of colours and designs to match your home’s aesthetic, as well as materials to suit your specific needs.
