Outdoor living has become one of the most desirable home upgrades—offering a place to relax, gather, and enjoy fresh air in comfort. One of the best ways to enhance any patio, pergola, or covered outdoor space is Outdoor Screens. At Ross Howard Designs, we offer a collection of brands known for their durable construction, clean aesthetic, and smooth guided operation, screens that offer a high-performance solution and beautifully blend design and function.
Below is a complete breakdown of the features and benefits:
1. Welded Edge for Superior Hold
A welded bead edge glides inside the side channels, eliminating gaps and preventing the fabric from rattling or billowing in the wind—making it ideal for exposed outdoor areas.
2. Smooth & Guided Operation
The guided bead-in-channel system ensures the screen rises and lowers smoothly and evenly every time, with no snagging or zipper noise.
3. Custom-Fit Fabrication
Screens can be tailored to a wide range of opening sizes—large spans, tall structures, or custom outdoor architecture—while maintaining consistent tension.
4. High-Performance Outdoor Fabrics
Choose from a selection of materials designed to withstand the elements:
- Solar mesh fabrics for UV protection
- Privacy weaves
- Light-filtering or blackout options
- Durable outdoor vinyls
Fabrics come in a range of opacities and colors to suit your design and performance needs.
5. Manual or Motorized Options
Choose a sleek manual crank or elevate the experience with motorization. Motorized screens pair easily with remote control options and home automation systems.
6. Modern, Architectural Look
Slim side channels and tight, crisp fabric appearance create a refined, polished aesthetic that enhances contemporary and transitional outdoor spaces.
Benefits of Outdoor Screens
1. Effective Sun & Heat Control
Outdoor screens reduce glare, block UV rays, and help manage heat—keeping your outdoor area comfortable even in strong sunlight.
2. Enhanced Privacy Without Losing the View
Mesh options allow outward visibility while limiting the view inward, giving you privacy without creating a closed-off atmosphere.
3. Greater Year-Round Comfort
By reducing heat penetration, blocking wind gusts, providing light rain protection, and helping keep insects out, screens make patios usable for more months of the year.
4. Excellent Wind Resistance
The channel design keeps fabric secure under windy conditions, outperforming traditional track or open-edge systems.
5. Maximize Outdoor Living Space
Outdoor screens help turn patios, porches, and pergolas into usable, comfortable extensions of your home—ideal for dining, working, or relaxing.
6. Adds Value & Luxury to Your Home
A well-designed outdoor living area is one of today’s most sought-after home upgrades. Templar screens offer a custom, elevated finish that increases appeal and functionality.
