Vinyl Retractable Shades

Vinyl Retractable Shades

Clear vinyl windows that block rain, wind, and cold — turning your patio into a true four-season room. Retract them when the weather's nice.

Vinyl Retractable Shades

Vinyl Retractable Shades

Vinyl MotionScreens take retractable screening to the next level. Instead of mesh, these screens use clear vinyl windows (Sattler and Serge Ferrari materials with Fenestra clear panels) that block rain, wind, snow, and leaves while maintaining full visibility. When the weather turns cold, lower the vinyl screens and your patio stays warm and comfortable. When spring arrives, raise them and enjoy the breeze.

The real magic happens when you combine Vinyl MotionScreens with Solar MotionScreens. By staggering mounting brackets, we can install both systems on the same opening. Lower the solar screen in summer for shade and insect protection. Lower the vinyl screen in winter for warmth and weather protection. That's a true four-season patio — usable 365 days a year in Louisiana.

Blue Tide Exteriors is an authorized Universal Screens dealer. We custom-order your vinyl shades from their Plano, TX facility, then handle certified installation. The system uses the same heavy-gauge aluminum frames, zipper-track design, and Somfy motorization as our standard MotionScreens — just with vinyl panels instead of mesh.

Shade You Control

Vinyl retractable shades block wind, rain, and sun — then roll away when you want open-air living.

Questions

Frequently Asked

How much do vinyl retractable shades cost?+
Vinyl MotionScreens are premium products. A single vinyl screen for a standard opening typically starts around $3,500-$6,000 installed. Dual systems (vinyl + solar) on the same opening start around $6,000-$9,000. Free quotes available.
Can I see through the vinyl panels?+
Yes. The Fenestra clear vinyl windows provide full visibility — you can see your backyard, pool, and landscape clearly. The vinyl blocks weather but not your view.
What's the difference between vinyl shades and Eze-Breeze?+
Eze-Breeze uses 10-mil flexible vinyl panels in a sliding 4-track system (manual). Vinyl MotionScreens use clear vinyl with motorized retractable operation (push-button). MotionScreens are more expensive but offer motorized convenience and a premium aesthetic.
Can I combine vinyl and solar screens on the same opening?+
Yes — and we recommend it for true four-season use. We install both systems using staggered mounting brackets. Lower the solar screen in summer for shade, lower the vinyl screen in winter for warmth.
How long do vinyl screens last?+
The vinyl panels carry a 1-year manufacturer warranty but typically last 7-10 years with proper care. The aluminum frame and motor carry longer warranties (5-year motor, lifetime powder coating).
Do vinyl screens block insects too?+
When fully lowered with the zipper track engaged, vinyl screens do block insects. However, if insect protection is your primary goal, standard mesh MotionScreens provide better airflow while keeping bugs out.

★★★★★

They replaced our patio cover which we lost in the big ice storm. It took us a year and a half to find someone to fix it. It was Blue Tide Exteriors. It took them 2 days and it is so pretty. They worked with our budget. They did a great job.
