A Patio That Needed Shade, Comfort, and Year-Round Enjoyment
For this Parkland, FL homeowner on Ginger Ct., the covered patio was a favorite place to unwind—until the sun made it difficult to enjoy. Afternoon glare spilled directly into the home, making it hard to watch TV from the living room. And during the cooler months, the homeowner wanted to keep the sliding doors open to let in the breeze without sacrificing comfort or privacy.
These are common concerns in South Florida homes, where bright sunlight and year-round humidity shape how outdoor spaces are used. Exterior shading often becomes essential for maintaining comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor visibility. With this in mind, the client sought a solution that could enclose her patio when needed while still feeling open and breezy.
How We Delivered the Right Solution for Her Outdoor Space
After an on-site evaluation and a discussion about her goals, our team at My Space Shades recommended motorized retractable screens—a seamless way to control glare, airflow, and privacy without altering the home’s aesthetic. The homeowner wanted something reliable, easy to operate, and visually unobtrusive, and retractable technology checked every box.
We selected a system that delivered both performance and durability in South Florida’s climate, ensuring the patio could be enjoyed comfortably throughout the year.
Project Highlights: Smart Design Meets Everyday Functionality
To meet the client’s needs, we installed a SunPro motorized screen system with a rechargeable battery and solar panel, enabling cordless operation and energy efficiency. For the fabric, we chose the Twitchell Nano 95 solar screen in flat black, known for its exceptional glare control, UV protection, and outward visibility.
This combination offered:
- Significant glare reduction for comfortable TV viewing indoors
- Excellent airflow, allowing the homeowner to keep the sliding doors open
- A sleek, modern look that blends naturally into the patio structure
- Smooth, reliable motorization for effortless daily use
Project Cost: USD 5,000
Transformation in Action: A More Comfortable, Usable Patio
Once installed, the motorized retractable screens instantly elevated how the space functioned. The homeowner can now enjoy cooler months with the patio doors open, letting fresh air circulate without harsh sunlight flooding the home. Indoors, the TV no longer suffers from disruptive reflections, improving the living room experience.
In South Florida’s warm, sun-drenched climate, this upgrade provides long-term value—boosting comfort, reducing heat exposure, and adding a refined layer of exterior functionality. Photos of the completed project showcase the clean finish and the seamless integration of the screens with the existing architecture.
