Blinds Brothers has spent more than 25 years helping Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners manage Texas sun, heat, glare, and outdoor comfort. From a single sun-exposed window to large patio openings, our team measures, installs, and supports every exterior screen system we sell.
North Texas weather can put exterior screens to the test. Tucson screen systems have undergone controlled wind-tunnel testing at speeds up to 150 mph, and Blinds Brothers backs exterior screen installations with a 10-year warranty on wind damage for added protection.
Wind-tunnel testing applies to specific screen configurations and should not be interpreted as a universal 150-mph rating for every installation.
Warranty terms and conditions apply.
Dallas-Fort Worth homes deal with strong sun for much of the year. Motorized exterior screens help reduce heat and UV exposure before sunlight reaches your windows while still allowing natural light and outdoor visibility.
Our most popular solar screen fabrics come in 5% and 10% openness, providing approximately 95% and 90% sun protection. Choose from Natte's classic basketweave or Satine's decorative twill pattern in a variety of colors to balance shade, glare control, privacy, and visibility.
We stock a variety of colors for Natte fabrics. See the choices below for readily available options.
Our solar screens are installed with a powder-coated, durable aluminum housing and rail system. Using extruded T6061 American-made aluminum, powder coated at a USA based manufacturing facility. Our customers can choose from 9 standard colors for their rail and housing system, but we can also custom powder coat.
Solar screens are typically controlled with a motor using a built-in radio receiver. With one touch of the transmitter, you can lower, stop, and raise your sun screens. A transmitter can operate each screen one by one, or as a group. Our remotes are the best choice for flexibility in regards to upgrades and integration.
Our magnetic wall-mounted base allows you to conveniently store your remote at all times.
Our remotes are available in both single or 15-channel. With single-channel remotes, you can control one screen or one group of screens. 15-channel remotes can control up to 15 screens, separately or all at once.

We offer a free app that allows you to control your solar screens from your phone. With the app, you can create different scenes for how you’d like to use your screens, including a timing function for operations at times set by you. Alexa can also control your retractable patio screens for you with our app.
You can program our Hub Connector to operate your retractable screens. With the Connector app, you can operate the radio transmitter motor individually or as a group, even when you’re not at home. Our Hub Connector is a great choice for the smart home with easy integration options with Alexa and Google Home.
The Tucson Adjustable Bottom bar is the easy solution for most patios that sit on a slope. With the Tucson Adjustable Bottom Bar, your screen can sit flat, ensuring complete coverage for your sloped outdoor area. Our adjustable bottom bar automatically adjusts to the slope, and seamlessly returns to level once retracted.

Fiberglass-core fabrics are more heat-stable than many polyester options, helping reduce stretching, sagging, and wrinkling in direct Texas sun.
The screen fabric stays captured within the side rails to help it remain taut and aligned as it raises and lowers.
Different Tucson screen systems allow us to fit everything from standard windows and doors to very large patio openings instead of forcing every project into the same product.
The Tucson Adjustable Bottom Bar adjusts to uneven concrete, pavers, and sloped patios so the screen sits more flush along the bottom, helping reduce gaps where insects and debris can get through.
Motorized exterior screens make it simple to adjust shade, privacy, and sunlight across patios, large openings, and hard-to-reach windows using compatible remotes, smartphone controls, or voice commands.

Motorized exterior shades help keep your home cooler by blocking heat before it reaches your windows, reduce glare by managing incoming sunlight, and protect your space from insects. By improving temperature control in areas like your living room and outdoor spaces, these shades can also help lower energy use and reduce cooling costs.
The right screen depends on the size of the opening and what you want it to accomplish, whether that's heat reduction, glare control, daytime privacy, insect protection, or a combination.
Blinds Brothers measures each window, door, or patio opening and then recommends the appropriate Tucson screen system, fabric openness, housing, and controls for that application.
Every system is custom measured for the opening. You are not choosing between a standard screen and a separate custom version.
Yes. Every motorized exterior screen we install is custom measured and built for its specific opening.
