Project Summary
Customer wanted to completely bug proof their patio with motorized screens in the North Dallas area where mosquitos and flies are an issue. There were two openings near the fireplace where motorized screens could not be installed, so these had to be filled in to make a wall. KJ Custom Screens & Outdoor Living was hired to complete this project.
Customer wanted the screens to be ‘invisible’ from metal to screen. To do this, two openings had to be enclosed where motorized screens would not work. Slots were then cut into the stucco and the channels were secured.. At the top, the beam had to be furred down which created a cavity for the screen roller to hide into. Once screens were installed, a removal panel was placed to cover the gaps for easy access into the cavity for any maintenance needed at a later time.
KJ Custom Screens & Outdoor Living was the designer and installation company for this project. Universal Screens is the screen manufacturer of this job. We used black Phifer Tuff screen and Somfy motors with Somfy controls.
The customer was extremely happy with the final product. The patio is completely bug proof when the screens are down. They can open their sliding doors and have additional living space when entertaining or just enjoy the outdoors, all bug free and at the touch of a button. The screens added value to the house since the patio is now a usable space.
