If you live in Northern Virginia or Maryland and you spend anytime in your backyard, there is a good chance you are dealing with 1 or both of the biggest problems with this region: bugs, and the intense summer sun.  Don’t fret.  Design Builders has a solution readily available to you, and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.  We are talking about motorized screens.

 

 Motorized screens have become a popular choice for homeowners and businesses seeking to create flexible outdoor spaces. These screens can be used to enclose patios, porches, or restaurant sitting areas,  providing a comfortable environment that is shielded from insects, debris, and harsh weather conditions. The motorized feature allows you to easily raise or lower the screens with the touch of a button, giving you the freedom to enjoy open air, protect you and your family / guests from bugs or the sun, and add privacy.

 Advantages of Motorized Screens

1. Convenience and Control: # 1 is ease of operation. With the ability to control the screen from a remote or smartphone  app, you can quickly adapt your outdoor space. Whether you’re looking to block out the afternoon sun, create a bug-free environment, or add privacy,  motorized screens make it simple.

2. Protection from the Elements: Motorized screens provide an effective barrier against wind, rain, and pests, ensuring your outdoor space is usable throughout the year. This is particularly valuable in Northern Virginia and Maryland, where unpredictable weather, bugs, and harsh sun can disrupt your ability to enjoy your backyard.

3. Enhanced Aesthetics and Versatility: With sleek designs and customizable sizes and colors, motorized screens can seamlessly blend into the architecture of any home or business. They are the perfect solution for creating an outdoor area that transitions between enclosed and open spaces with the touch of a button.

4. Privacy.  Motorized scanning systems come in different grades, thickness, and colors, allowing you to choose your backyard experience.
