Mounting Options

Our motorized retractable screens can be recessed from view by integrating with the building structure, or surface-mounted onto existing structures. Choose the mounting option that makes the most sense for your home.

Recessed Mount

Typically done during a new construction or a major remodel, recessed mounts hide the mechanics and side tracks without affecting the architectural aesthetics of your space. The units can be recessed into a variety of possible structural features.

Surface Mount

These screens can be surface mounted, and colour matched to a variety of existing structures. They can be mounted above the opening on the inside of the surround, inside of the frame under the header, or on the outside of the structure above the opening.

Cable Guide

No track systems required. These self-tensioning cables mount to the wall or floor and are great for open corners, glass walls, or large openings with columns. They allow you to adjust the screen tension in order to maintain the perfect fit at all times, no matter how the weather changes.

Control Options

However you want your outdoor home space to function, we’ve got you covered. Whether it’s hand-held remotes, or wall mounted switches, we’ll program them so you can easily retract your screen whenever it's time to let the outdoors in.

Hand-Held Remotes

Hand-held remotes are the easy way to operate your screens no matter where you’re at. With single or multiple channel versions, you can operate one screen or all with the touch of a button.

Wall Switch

If you get tired of constantly losing your remotes, wall switches are always a good option. They’re wireless, battery powered, and available in colours to suit their surroundings.

Sun & Wind Sensors

Sensors can automatically lower your screens during the hotter temperatures to reduce heat gain in your space. They can retract into their protective housing during higher winds or stormy conditions.

Smart Phone

Retractable Sun Blinds

UV Protection

Retractable sun blinds act as a powerful barrier between your living space and the sun’s most damaging rays. By significantly reducing UV exposure, these blinds help maintain a healthier indoor environment while preserving the integrity of your home.

Transparent from Inside

Due to light being brighter outside than inside, our sun blinds allow you to maintain your view while being protected at the same time.

Exterior Mounted

Unlike traditional curtains or interior sun blinds, Vastek's retractable sun blinds are mounted on the outside of your window frame, creating a solar barrier. This way the sun stops before it penetrates your home.

Retractable Patio Screens: Common Questions

Mesh options, controls, mounting and where Retractable Screens can be fitted.

How much sun and UV do the Retractable Screens block?

It depends which mesh you choose, and this is the main decision to make. Insect mesh blocks around 55% of UV and is aimed at keeping bugs out while barely changing the view. Single weave blocks around 80%. Double weave blocks up to 95%, which is the option to pick if the space gets hard afternoon sun. Sheer weave is also available where appearance matters most.

Can you still see out through them?

Yes. From the shaded side the mesh reads as a light veil rather than a wall, so the view stays. The denser weaves cut more glare and give more privacy from outside during the day, so there is a trade-off between shade and transparency — which is why we bring mesh samples rather than asking you to choose from a photograph.

How are the Retractable Screens operated?

Motorized Retractable Screens run from a handheld remote, a wall switch or your phone. Sun and wind sensors can be added so the screens lower as the sun comes round and retract when it gets gusty. Manual operation is available for smaller openings.

What happens if the wind picks up while they are down?

This is what the wind sensor is for. It retracts the screen automatically once wind passes a set threshold, so the mesh is not left extended in conditions it was not designed for. It is worth specifying on exposed sites — lakefront properties and anywhere with an open approach — because it protects the screen when nobody is home.

Where can Retractable Screens be fitted?

Covered patios and porches, decks and balconies, pool enclosures, outdoor kitchens, Pergolas, and across folding glass wall openings. Large openings are workable because each screen is built to the measured opening. If the space has a structure overhead to mount to, it can usually be screened.

How is the housing mounted, and how visible is it?

Three ways. Recessed mounting hides the housing inside the ceiling or soffit so almost nothing shows when the screen is up. Surface mounting fixes it to the underside of a beam or an exterior wall. Cable guide systems hold the screen on open-sided spaces without solid side tracks. Retractable Screens come in white, beige, brown, silver and black to match existing trim.

What warranty comes with them?

Every Vastek product carries a 10-year warranty, and installation is carried out by our own crew rather than subcontracted.
