Outdoor Screens Nokomis

Nokomis homeowners tend to have great outdoor spaces they are not using to the fullest. A covered lanai, a second-floor balcony with a Gulf or bay breeze, an outdoor kitchen on the pool deck. The same things that make those spaces appealing, the open air and the coastal location, also make them tough to use when the sun is blasting, the bugs are out, or a quick rain blows in off the water. Motorized outdoor screens fix that without closing the space off permanently.

When people picture outdoor screens, they often imagine a fixed enclosure, and that is not what these are. We install retractable screens that mount under the roofline of the covered area. Rolled up, they are out of sight and the space is fully open. Rolled down, they enclose it behind a tight outdoor mesh that blocks a large share of the sun’s heat, keeps the bugs off, and knocks down wind-driven rain. Everything runs on a remote, and zones can be set independently, which matters on a multi-level home.

Outdoor screens on multi-story Nokomis homes

One of the things we handle well in Nokomis is the two-story coastal home, where the upstairs balcony and the downstairs lanai both want screens but at different heights and spans. The MagnaTrack system handles both. We installed motorized screens on a two-level home near the water where the owners wanted to use the upstairs balcony for the breeze and view without getting eaten alive at dusk, and the downstairs pool area without the afternoon sun driving everyone inside. Both levels now operate independently on remotes.

The detail Nokomis homeowners care about most is usually sun control, because so many of these homes face directions that catch hard afternoon light off the water. The screen fabric cuts a large share of that heat and glare, which often drops the temperature on a covered patio enough to turn the worst time of day into a usable one. And because the MagnaTrack edge locks the fabric into the side tracks, the screens hold flat and do not flap or tear when the coastal wind picks up.
