1. Privacy
Adding a screen room system to your living space can help increase privacy. If this is high on your priority list, there are many options to look at while designing your screen room. Particularly, when choosing the mesh material there are different tints to give you exactly what you need. Most retractable screens, for example, are designed so that you can see out, but others cannot see in.

Fixed and retractable screens will protect you from mosquitos, flies, wasps, or any other pest for a worry-free outdoor experience. Undoubtedly, you will be able to enjoy the summer breeze you long for every year worry-free.
3. Weather Protection – Reduces Temperature and UV Rays
Fixed and retractable screen rooms are like sunglasses for your home. Not only will they help protect you from UV Rays, but it will protect your belongings from sun damage. Screen rooms can help protect your skin from the sun after a long day enjoying the outdoors. It is also a nice place to unwind and relax during any season.
Consider adding a retractable vinyl screen to your room for extra protection and comfort from the weather. Additionally, a retractable vinyl screen can help contain heat or air and/or will keep rain or snow out.
