Residential Retractable Screens
Retractable exterior screens are the perfect way to block the sun from your windows or to create shade or privacy for your patio seating area. Our drop-down screens are also a great way to block wind from your outdoor space so you can enjoy it in just about any weather.
The screens can be mounted on the exterior of windows or sides of patio decks and pergolas to provide controllable shade and glare and protection from wind and bugs. In addition, our screens can help with retaining heat within your outdoor space. They are the perfect addition to our StruXure Louvered Pergola system when creating a true four-season space.
These units can either be manually operated or motorized, but motorization allows for easy operation with the touch of a button as well as options to add wind sensors for automatic operation. We have options for screens with or without guide rails for a variety of applications and budgets.
Our Talius and MagnaTrack retractable screens are made right here in B.C. and offer unique designs and engineering with the Edge Retention System, which keeps the screen material firmly in the side rails even in very gusty winds. The unique guide rail system prevents the screen edges from blowing out in stormy weather, and the screen fabric retracts neatly into a cassette box.
Darker coloured screens allow the best visibility, while lighter-coloured screen fabrics reflect more light and tend to make the mesh look nearly opaque. Block the sun, not your view!

Habitat solar shade screen systems from Talius (a British Columbia-made product) are a unique answer to controlling the sun’s harsh UV rays and providing a refuge on windy patios.
Edge Retention System
One of the advantages of the Habitat screens is their unique edge retention system which keeps the screen material firmly in the side rails even in very gusty winds.
The unique guide rail system prevents the screen edges from blowing out in stormy weather, and the screen fabric retracts neatly into a 5” cassette box. Habitat screens can be motorized with remote control and optional wind sensor.
