Summers in North Idaho and Eastern Washington are idyllic—until the bugs show up. When you live in Coeur d’Alene, Lewiston, Spokane, or Pullman, the idea of spending long, warm evenings enjoying your deck or patio seems inviting, but not if you are spending all your time swatting, itching, and jumping at every buzz. If the thought of an al fresco dinner or party fills you with dread instead of anticipation, you should consider screen shades.
At Best Blinds & Awnings, we specialize in high-quality screen solutions that help homeowners across the Inland Northwest reclaim their patios. Here’s how screen shades can transform your outdoor living experience.
What Are Screen Shades?
Screen shades are durable, retractable mesh panels that can be mounted around your patio, deck, or pergola. They block insects while still allowing airflow, visibility, and shade. These shades come in manual and motorized options and can be customized to fit almost any outdoor space.
The Big Benefits
- Say Goodbye to Bugs: This one’s obvious: screen shades keep mosquitoes, flies, and other pests out. Enjoy a barbecue dinner or a glass of wine on the patio without unsightly guests spoiling the main course or, worse, becoming the main course yourself.
- Stay Cool and Shaded: Screen shades block up to 90% of UV rays. That means cooler temps on hot summer days and protection for your skin, patio furniture, and outdoor flooring.
- Maintain Your View: Are you worried about turning your patio into a cave? Don’t be. High-quality screen fabrics allow you to see out while keeping bugs and glare at bay.
- Extend Your Living Space: With the right setup, your patio becomes a true extension of your home. Entertain guests, work remotely, or relax with family—all in comfort.
- Motorized Convenience: Motorized screen shades let you raise or lower your screens with the push of a button. Some models can be integrated with your smart home system.
