ROI & Energy Savings

Those beautiful west-facing windows and outdoor living spaces that close sales can become your biggest liability when scorching afternoon sun turns dream patios into unusable furnaces, often leaving homeowners frustrated and builders fielding complaint calls about unbearable heat. Motorized screens, specifically sun shades, transform this costly problem into a profitable selling point, automatically deploying when harsh rays would otherwise drive families indoors and send energy bills skyrocketing.

Sun and weather control screens slash solar heat gain by up to 90%, keeping indoor temperatures comfortable and HVAC systems running efficiently. The ROI speaks for itself: homeowners report up to 40% reduction in cooling costs for sun-exposed areas, while builders can justify premium pricing for these smart energy solutions that buyers increasingly expect.

From sweltering pool decks to sun-drenched great rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, motorized screen manufacturers like Fenetex help you deliver the comfortable, energy-efficient homes that satisfy customers, reduce callback complaints, and position your builds as premium smart home solutions that command higher prices in today's competitive market.
