Patios are great for creating living spaces with access to the outdoors, and they can be fully enclosed or covered to provide some weather protection. According to the National Association of Home Builders, nearly two-thirds of home construction projects in 2022 included patios. Many people are embracing the many benefits of using motorized patio screens that enable them to raise and lower or open and close motorized screens remotely. Here are three benefits of installing them on your home.

1. Improve Your Patio’s Privacy

You don't want just anyone to be able to see inside of your home at any time. That's what makes motorized patio screens such an important addition. When you have them installed, you can easily raise or lower your screens at any time to ensure that no outsiders are able to peer through your home. Since they're motorized, all you'll have to do is press a button and sit back and relax!

2. Block Damaging UV Rays

Few things can heat up and damage patio furnishings faster than the sun’s destructive UV rays. Continual exposure to UV rays causes natural and man-made materials to deteriorate rapidly, which reduces their lifespan. The sun’s rays also bleach out the colors and make things look less attractive. Motorized screens make it very easy to block harmful UV rays and adjust the shades as the sun changes position. You can open the screens throughout the day and night to deliver the best comfort level while using the patio.

3. Keep Pests Outside

Using the patio at night can be a big problem when it draws in mosquitoes and other pests. When the summer mosquito population is at its highest, you can keep them away by using motorized screens to keep mosquitoes and other pests outside. You still can feel the outdoor breeze on a warm summer night, while the motorized screen keeps the nighttime pests away from your patio. A mesh screen is especially effective at blocking mosquitoes from targeting your family and guests and maintaining a beneficial breezeway.
