Benefits of Patio Shades & Outdoor Screens
Patio shades create a more comfortable outdoor living space by reducing glare, blocking harmful UV rays, minimizing wind exposure, and helping keep insects away. Homeowners throughout the Milwaukee area use outdoor shades to enjoy their patios, covered porches, pergolas, and outdoor entertaining areas for more months of the year.
- Reduce heat and glare

- Extend outdoor living seasons
- Motorized convenience
Available in a variety of screen fabrics and materials, patio shades can be customized for sun control, insect protection, privacy, or weather protection based on your outdoor living goals.
Solar Screens
Solar screens reduce glare and filter harmful UV rays while allowing fresh air to circulate through your outdoor space. Their open-weave fabrics also help preserve your view, making patios and porches more comfortable without creating a closed-in feel.
Insect Screens
Insect screens create a protective barrier against mosquitoes and other flying pests while still allowing fresh air to flow. They make summer evenings more enjoyable and retract neatly when protection is no longer needed.
Vinyl Screens
Vinyl screens help block wind, light rain, and cooler temperatures, creating a more sheltered outdoor environment. They can extend the use of your patio beyond summer while giving the space the comfortable feel of an outdoor room.
Motorized Patio Shades
Motorized patio shades raise and lower with the touch of a button, making it easy to adjust comfort, privacy, and protection throughout the day. Progressive Screens systems also feature MagnaTrack technology to support smooth, dependable operation.
Outdoor Shades: Solar Screens
Solar patio shades help create a more comfortable outdoor environment by reducing glare, filtering harsh sunlight, and blocking damaging UV rays. Unlike solid enclosures, solar screen fabrics maintain airflow and preserve views while making patios, porches, and outdoor seating areas more enjoyable throughout the day.
In addition to sun protection, outdoor solar screens can help reduce wind exposure and provide a barrier against light rain, allowing you to spend more time outdoors in changing Wisconsin weather. By improving comfort and protecting outdoor furnishings from excessive sun exposure, solar screens help extend the outdoor living season.
Unlike solid walls or enclosures, screen fabrics allow fresh air to circulate freely, helping create a cooler, more comfortable outdoor environment.
Built for Wisconsin Weather
From bright summer afternoons to windy spring days and cool fall evenings, patio shades help you enjoy your outdoor living spaces in a wider range of conditions. Durable materials, weather-resistant construction, and custom-fit installation make them a dependable solution for Milwaukee-area homes looking to maximize comfort throughout the outdoor season.
Outdoor Shades: Insect Screens
One of the most popular benefits of outdoor insect screens is the ability to enjoy fresh air without the constant annoyance of mosquitoes and other flying insects. By creating a protective barrier around patios, porches, pergolas, and covered outdoor spaces, insect screens help make outdoor living more comfortable throughout the warmer months.
Whether you’re hosting friends, enjoying dinner outdoors, or relaxing on a summer evening, insect screens allow you to spend more time outside without swatting bugs or retreating indoors. Combined with motorized operation, these screens can be lowered when needed and disappear when not in use, providing protection without sacrificing your view.
Fresh Air Without the Bugs
Whether you’re opening your patio doors on a cool summer evening or creating better airflow throughout your home, Mirage retractable screens make it easy to enjoy natural ventilation without inviting insects inside. Their discreet design disappears when not needed, allowing you to preserve your home’s views and curb appeal while adding everyday comfort.
Outdoor Living: Vinyl Screens
Outdoor vinyl screens can transform a porch, gazebo, or covered patio into a more versatile living space. Designed to block wind, rain, and colder temperatures while maintaining natural light, vinyl screens create a comfortable environment for enjoying the outdoors in a wider range of weather conditions.
Many homeowners use vinyl screens to extend the usability of their outdoor living spaces well beyond the summer months. Whether you’re enjoying a crisp fall morning, watching a spring rainstorm, or soaking up winter sunshine from a protected porch, vinyl screens help create an outdoor retreat that can be enjoyed throughout much of the year.
The MagnaTrack System: Patented Technology
Progressive Screens patio shades feature the patented MagnaTrack System, an innovative side-retention system designed to keep outdoor shades operating smoothly in changing weather conditions. Unlike traditional exterior screens that can pull loose or become misaligned, MagnaTrack helps keep the shade securely guided within its track for reliable performance.
This advanced technology helps prevent common issues such as snagging, hang-ups, and jamming, making motorized patio shades easier to operate and maintain. Combined with durable, weather-resistant materials, the MagnaTrack System delivers a dependable solution for homeowners who want long-lasting comfort, convenience, and protection in their outdoor living spaces.
