Expand Your Living Space with Motorized Patio Screens

Transition from Open Air Freshness to Enclosed Comfort Instantly 

In luxury homes, outdoor rooms are expected to feature all the great things you have indoors: upholstered sofas, outdoor kitchens, custom cabinetry, and 4K weather-rated displays. Very few homes, though, think of the last step to great outdoor living: motorized patio screens. 

These help you to counter the unavoidable pitfalls of dealing with the elements. Depending on the season, you might face heavy humidity that traps heat on the porch, seasonal swarms of mosquitoes along the Great Miami River, or frosty evening gusts. 

With motorized patio screens, it’s easy to create a sealed, climate-controlled patio at the touch of a button. And with the specialists at Beacon Audio Video handling your installation, these screens integrate seamlessly with your architecture and smart home controls.

Enjoy a Patio as Comfortable as Your Living Room 

Do you ever dread hanging out on your patio? It’s frustrating to spend so much time designing your outdoor spaces, only to have the elements ruin the experience. The number one reason we recommend motorized patio screens is to address these issues. A patio protected from the elements is one you get to enjoy year-round. 

First, we want you to have a bug-free space. Those tiki torches are cute, but they’re not as efficient at warding off your unwanted guests as you might think. Instead, we add screens with ultra-fine mesh to block gnats and mosquitoes while still allowing airflow. Enjoy the fresh breeze without the constant buzzing in your ears. 

We also use solar-blocking fabrics that deflect up to 90% of heat. These screens not only make the patio up to 10-15 degrees cooler, but they keep that heat from hitting your glass windows and thus, even your home’s indoor AC benefits. With side-track zipper technology, the screens also seal against the columns to keep rain out and avoid drenched furniture or electronics.

Create an Outdoor Home Theater 

If you install an outdoor home theater, high-opacity screens also help to reduce glare. Although our outdoor displays are designed to handle sunlight, it can still be uncomfortable for guests to sit and watch a movie or game when the sun is in their eyes. These shades diffuse direct sunlight to prevent washout and keep your guests comfortable, even in midday sun. 

One challenge with outdoor sound systems is the lack of walls to reflect and contain sound. The mesh in motorized patio screens helps envelop your space, creating a richer surround-sound experience when watching movies. 

Manage Your Screens With Smart Controls

At Beacon Audio Video, we believe your outdoor tech should be as effortless as your indoor systems. That’s why we integrate your motorized screens directly into Control4 or Crestron interfaces. You can manage your patio from the same interface you use to dim the lights in your bedroom. 

Instead of manually adjusting as the day ends, your home does the heavy lifting for you. Based on an astronomical clock, your screens automatically lower as the sun dips, your outdoor accent lighting dims to a warm 30%, and the fire pit turns on.
