Turn Any Outdoor Area Into the Best Room of Your Home
Most Florida homeowners love spending time outdoors, but heat, bugs, and unpredictable weather often get in the way. A beautiful lanai or open garage can sit unused during the hottest or muggiest parts of the year, which feels like wasted space. That’s exactly why motorized screens have become one of the most popular home upgrades across North Central Florida.
A professionally installed SunPro motorized screen system can turn nearly any outdoor area into an all-season living space. Whether it’s a shaded lanai, a garage that doubles as a breezy hangout, or a patio you wish you could use more often, motorized screens give you the comfort and control you’ve been missing.
At Made in the Shade North Central FL, homeowners regularly tell us, “We use this room every day now.” That’s the magic of installing a system built specifically for the Florida lifestyle.
Enjoy Shade and Comfort at the Push of a Button
There’s something surprisingly relaxing about tapping a button and watching your outdoor area change right in front of you. SunPro screens glide smoothly down from a sleek aluminum housing that blends right into the home’s exterior. Once lowered, the screen creates an instant barrier against harsh sunlight, afternoon glare, and heavy humidity.
Most people don’t realize how much heat actually enters the home through open outdoor spaces. A motorized screen can reduce solar heat on patios and lanais by blocking an impressive amount of UV radiation, helping keep the area noticeably cooler. It makes grilling, relaxing, or hosting friends enjoyable even during the hotter months.
Keep Florida’s Bugs Out Without Losing the Breeze
Anyone who lives in Florida knows the mosquito battle never ends. The moment the sun starts to set, you either run indoors or cover yourself with repellant. Motorized screens solve the problem in the simplest possible way: they keep the bugs out.
SunPro uses Phifer® and Twitchell® mesh fabrics—two of the highest quality screen materials available. The weave is tight enough to keep out mosquitos, no-see-ums, and most flying insects, while still allowing air to flow naturally.
If you enjoy the idea of having dinner outdoors without swatting or scratching, this one feature alone is worth the investment.
Create Privacy Without Closing Off the Room
Many homeowners also love the privacy benefits. Some screen fabrics allow you to see out but prevent others from easily seeing in. It’s especially helpful for homes on the golf course, near a busy street, or in newer neighborhoods with close property lines.
The screen feels open and breathable—not like a wall—yet it gives the space a relaxed sense of separation. Families use this privacy for workouts, home offices, quiet reading spots, or simply unwinding in the shade.
Turn Your Garage Into a Second Living Space
Garage screens are exploding in popularity across Florida. They allow you to open the garage door and instantly create a shaded, bug-free space that works as:
• A home gym
• A workshop
• A play area
• A hobby room
• A social hangout
You get all the airflow and natural light without the pests and heat. Since the system retracts completely when not in use, the garage still functions exactly as it should.
Built for Florida Weather
SunPro’s screen systems use aluminum housings and powder-coated tracks designed to withstand humidity, salt air, and fluctuating weather. High-wind track options help keep the screen stable during gusty afternoons, which makes them ideal for exposed patios and wide-open lanais.
If you’ve ever hesitated to upgrade an outdoor room because of Florida’s intense climate, motorized screens are one of the most reliable solutions you can choose.
A Florida Home Upgrade You’ll Use Every Day
Most home improvements look good on day one but don’t see daily use. Motorized screens are the opposite. People use them constantly—morning coffee on the lanai, garage workouts after work, quiet evenings protected from mosquitoes, or family gatherings without harsh sun.
When a product instantly makes your home more comfortable, you don’t forget about it. You enjoy it. You live in it.
If you’re ready to turn your outdoor area into a true all-season room, the team at Made in the Shade North Central FL is ready to help.
