Blinds Brothers has spent more than 25 years serving Dallas-Fort Worth homeowners, with more than 7,000 screens installed across DFW. The team provides custom measurement, product selection, professional installation, and ongoing support for exterior screen projects.
Dallas patio screens need to account for more than sunshine. Wind, changing weather conditions, screen dimensions, fabric selection, mounting conditions, and the structure surrounding the opening all influence the final system.
Specific Tucson Solution Screen configurations have undergone controlled wind-tunnel testing at speeds up to 150 mph without failure. This result applies only to the tested configurations and is not a universal wind rating for every patio screen installation. Blinds Brothers also backs exterior screen installations with a 10-year wind-damage warranty.
Warranty terms and conditions apply.
Motorized patio screens reduce heat and glare while helping Dallas homeowners enjoy their outdoor living space for more of the day. They can add adjustable shade when direct sun reaches covered patios, pergolas, porches, outdoor kitchens, and seating areas, then retract when a breeze, fresh air, or a more open view is preferred. For homeowners exploring broader outdoor shades in Dallas, patio screens provide a more focused solution for improving the comfort and flexibility of patio spaces without permanently enclosing them.
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.
Motorized screens give Dallas homeowners control over patio coverage throughout the day. Raise the screen when conditions are pleasant, lower it when direct sun reaches the patio, and keep it down later when insects become the bigger concern. This page focuses on the patio use-case rather than the mechanics of retractable screens themselves, but convenient controls are an important part of making an outdoor living space practical for everyday use.
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.

Compatible motorized patio screens can be controlled from a smartphone app. Homeowners can create scenes, group screens together, and schedule operations around the time of day. For example, a screen can be scheduled to lower before strong afternoon sunlight reaches a patio, then retract later when shade is no longer needed.
For homeowners interested in smart home integration, compatible systems can connect with supported automation platforms for smartphone, voice, group, and scheduled control. The available setup depends on the selected motor and controls, so automation requirements should be discussed when the screens are specified. Compatible Blinds Brothers systems support integrations including Alexa and Google Home, and the exterior screen page also lists Apple HomeKit compatibility.
Not every patio slab is perfectly level. The Tucson Adjustable Bottom Bar is designed to follow uneven concrete, pavers, or sloped patio surfaces so the screen can sit more closely against the bottom of the opening. Reducing that gap can help limit places where insects and debris enter. When the screen retracts, the adjustable bottom bar returns to level.

Motorized patio screens reduce heat and glare while helping you enjoy your outdoor space for more of the day. They can be installed around compatible patio covers to create adjustable protection without turning the area into a permanent enclosure.

Where the pergola provides appropriate mounting conditions, retractable screens can add adjustable shade while maintaining airflow, fresh air, natural light, and an open feel.
Patio screens around compatible covered outdoor kitchens can create shade for cooking and dining areas while helping keep mosquitoes, insects, and windblown debris away from food preparation and seating spaces. The screen can retract when full openness is preferred.
Covered patios beside a pool can benefit from adjustable shade and glare control without permanently blocking the view. Screen fabric can also provide daytime privacy while maintaining outward visibility toward the pool and backyard.
Covered porches and seating areas can use motorized screens to create a more flexible transition between the house and outdoors. Lower the screen when sunlight, glare, or insects become distracting, then retract it when weather conditions are comfortable.
Exterior screen fabric helps reduce solar heat, direct sunlight, UV exposure, and glare before they reach patio seating or adjacent glass. This can make a covered outdoor living space more comfortable when the sun enters from the side.
Motorized patio screens can add daytime privacy while maintaining outward visibility. How much privacy the screen provides depends on the selected fabric, openness, lighting, and surrounding conditions.
Different openness levels allow homeowners to balance shade and protection with maintaining outward visibility. More open fabric generally preserves more of the view, while tighter fabric provides greater solar protection.
Raise or lower your screens using compatible remotes, wall controls, smartphone controls, or smart home integration.
Raise, lower, or stop compatible screens using a remote, wall control, smartphone app, or supported smart home system. The motorized feature makes it easy to change the space as conditions change throughout the day.
Compatible motorized screens can be controlled through a smartphone even when you are away from the house. Available functionality depends on the selected control system.
Powder-coated housings and rails are designed for exterior use and can be selected to coordinate with the home's architecture and surrounding finishes.
Blinds Brothers' Tucson Solution Screen systems use a zip-tension design that keeps the screen fabric captured within the side rails. This helps the fabric remain taut and aligned as the system operates.

Blinds Brothers installs American-made Tucson Rolling Shutters & Screens products for exterior applications and provides local measurement, installation, and service throughout Dallas-Fort Worth.
Homeowners work with a local team that has served Dallas-Fort Worth for more than 25 years rather than selecting an off-the-shelf screen and trying to adapt it to the patio afterward.
Blinds Brothers uses fiberglass-core solar fabrics designed to provide shade and glare control while maintaining outward visibility. The fabric choice can be tailored around the intended use of the patio.
Fiberglass-core fabrics are more heat-stable than many polyester alternatives, which can help reduce stretching, sagging, and wrinkling during repeated exposure to direct Texas sun.
The zip-tension system keeps fabric captured inside the side rails, helping the screen stay aligned during normal operation.
A compact covered patio does not require the same screen solution as a large outdoor kitchen or wide poolside structure. Multiple screen systems allow Blinds Brothers to configure openings ranging from smaller patios to extra-large spans up to 32 feet wide, depending on the system.
The Tucson Adjustable Bottom Bar can follow sloped concrete, pavers, and uneven surfaces, reducing gaps along the bottom where bugs and debris may otherwise enter.
Most people do not use a patio the same way from morning through evening. A space that feels comfortable in the morning may need shade by afternoon, insect protection after sunset, and full openness again during milder weather.
Motorized patio screens let the patio change with those conditions. Lower them when heat, sunlight, glare, mosquitoes, or privacy are concerns, then retract them when the weather is pleasant and you want the outdoor living area fully open.

Blinds Brothers installs American-made Tucson exterior screen systems that are custom measured for the specific opening. Each screen is professionally installed so the fabric, housing, rails, motor, controls, and surrounding structure function together as a complete system.
If minimal maintenance is a priority, discuss the patio's sun exposure, wind exposure, frequency of use, fabric choice, and recommended care during your free consultation. Blinds Brothers notes that screen lifespan depends in part on exposure, usage, maintenance, and other conditions.
Adjustable shade can reduce direct sun and heat across covered patios so the outdoor living space remains useful for more hours of the day.
Screen mesh helps keep mosquitoes and other unwanted bugs outside while preserving airflow and fresh air.
Reducing harsh sunlight can make a patio more comfortable for dining, relaxing, or watching an outdoor television while also reducing UV exposure to patio furniture and finishes.
Retractable motorized screens let homeowners create protection when it is useful without permanently enclosing the patio. Retract the screens when insects are not a problem, during comfortable weather, or whenever you want the space fully open.
