Five Reasons Retractable Screens are Great for Florida
There are so many reasons why people decide to move to a home in Central Florida. The gorgeous sunlight, all of the outdoor activities, and the weather are just a few reasons many people call this place home. In one of our earlier blog posts Retractable Screen Maintenance we discuss some of the benefits of having retractable screens as well how to maintain them.
In this post we want to hone in on five key reasons why retractable screens are a great addition to your Central Florida home.
- No More Mosquitos If there is one thing other than the sun (which we will get to in a minute), that might be a make or break for outside activities in Central Florida it is the pesky mosquitos that appear. Mosquitos can bring a variety of problems especially during the summer and spring months. Retractable screens are a sleek and innovative way of making sure your outdoor spaces are comfortable for all months of the year.
- Temperature Control: Here in Central Florida, we can all bond over the simple fact that it gets hot. Many of us end up sacrificing the opportunity to go outside and breathe fresh air because of the mere fact that the sun gets too intense. Retractable screens are an easy way to minimize the sunlight on your patio, deck, or outside area. By reducing the amount of sunlight this will make your space a cool place to be in every sense of the word.
- Energy Savings: With the cooling temperatures in mind, we get to our next benefit which is energy savings. When retractable screens are part of the picture, less sunlight will enter the home which will result in more consistent indoor temperatures. In addition to this, retractable screens can even be installed over the windows of your homes which could help you save hundreds of dollars on your annual bill.
- More Space: Aside from the amazing benefits retractable screens can have on your electricity bill, your retractable screens will allow for more square footage of usable space in your home rain or shine. These screens allow for your deck or patio to become an efficient and effective covered extension of your home in a matter of seconds.
- Value of Home: With the benefits mentioned above, it should come as no surprise that retractable screens are a feature that will add value to your home. These screens allow for protection from the weather and Florida sunlight without sacrificing curb appeal. Retractable screens are customizable to your home and the top of line quality and technology can allow for large offers to boost or even be a distinguishing factor when selling the home.
With extra living space, mosquito free, cooling zones, a home with retractable screens seem to be a perfect fit for a Florida home. With these key values in mind, if you find that retractable screens are a great next step for your home, contact U.S. Aluminum at 1-407-706-4017.
