Understanding The Science Behind Motorized Screens

BE IN THE KNOW....

Don't let costly mistakes, wrong designs, wrong applications, or warranty-voiding your motorized screen investment. Manufacture are in the business of selling screens, contractors can cut corners, and many products often under perform promises. Don't be a victum. BE IN THE KNOW before you commit: understanding proper wind-load ratings, motor specifications, and installation requirements is the difference between screens that protect your home for decades and those that fail when you need them most is a simple choice, a choice of being an informed consumer.
