Why Galveston Homeowners Choose Motorized Patio Screens From Galveston Shutter & Shade Co.

Life on the coast is all about enjoying the breeze, the views, and the outdoor lifestyle — but it also means dealing with intense sun, salt air, wind, and weather that can wear down anything that isn’t built to last. That’s why Galveston County homeowners turn to Galveston Shutter & Shade Co., the premier local provider of high‑quality motorized patio screens designed specifically for the Gulf Coast environment.

With a full showroom right here on the island, a 5‑star customer promise, and a reputation built on reliability, craftsmanship, and long‑term support, we deliver screen systems that perform beautifully year after year.

Below is a full look at why our motorized patio screens stand above the rest.

Premium Product Selection Built for Coastal Performance

Your home deserves products engineered for the coast — not generic systems that fail after a few seasons. That’s why we offer multiple screen options, each designed for durability, smooth operation, and long‑term performance in Galveston’s harsh salt‑air environment.

Our premium motorized screen system is one of the strongest and most advanced available:

  • - Fits into a sleek 5" housing for a clean, unobtrusive look
  • - Available in widths up to 25 feet
  • - Built with corrosion‑resistant components ideal for coastal homes

For openings 16 feet and wider, we install XL units featuring a patented cradle system that supports the roller tube and ensures smooth, reliable operation — even at large spans where other systems sag, bind, or fail.

Proven Strength: Tested at Florida’s Wall of Wind

Coastal homeowners need products that can handle real weather — not marketing claims. Our XL units have undergone documented testing at Florida International University’s Wall of Wind, one of the most respected wind‑testing facilities in the country.

The results speak for themselves:

  • - Several units survived wind speeds up to 145 mph
  • - Out of 11 units tested, only one failed, and that occurred at 95 mph

We are not aware of any competitor offering this level of verified performance. When you live on the coast, proven strength matters.

Built for the Coast — Down to the Fasteners

At Galveston Shutter & Shade Co., we don’t cut corners. Every component — from the screen material to the fasteners — is selected for maximum corrosion resistance and longevity.

  • - Stainless and coated fasteners designed for salt‑air environments
  • - Heavy‑duty housings and tracks
  • - Materials engineered to withstand UV, humidity, and wind

Your screens won’t just look great the first year — they’ll continue performing for many years to come.

Industry‑Leading Warranty Protection

  • Every motorized screen we install is backed by a 10‑year product warranty, including 5 years of labor. That’s real protection from a company that has been serving Galveston County for years — not a “lifetime warranty” from a business that’s only been around a short time.

    A warranty is only as strong as the company behind it, and our long‑standing local presence means we’ll be here when you need us.

Smart, Safe, and Easy to Use

Our motorized screens are designed for effortless operation and everyday convenience.

  • - Remote‑controlled operation
  • - Optional smartphone app control for automation and smart‑home integration
  • - Obstacle detection that automatically reverses the screen if something is underneath

These features make your patio screens safe for kids, pets, and guests — and incredibly easy to use.

Superior Screen Material: Mermet E‑Screen

We proudly offer Mermet E‑Screen, a premium vinyl‑coated fiberglass material ideal for coastal environments.

Why fiberglass:

  • - Stronger than steel pound for pound
  • - Holds its shape longer than polyester screens
  • - More resistant to UV, heat, and humidity
  • - Maintains a tight, clean appearance over time

This is the material you want on the coast — durable, stable, and built to last.
