Why Central Florida Homeowners Are Adding Motorized Retractable Shades
As Florida’s cooler months approach, homeowners across Central Florida are looking for ways to spend more time in their outdoor spaces. Motorized retractable shades from New Horizons offer a simple, effective way to make your patio, lanai, or pool area more comfortable — no matter the season.
With the press of a button, you can block harsh sun, reduce heat, add privacy, or open everything back up to enjoy the breeze. It’s the kind of instant control that makes outdoor living in Florida actually enjoyable.
Control Sun, Heat, and Glare on Demand
Florida’s sun can turn your outdoor space from relaxing to unbearable in a matter of minutes. Motorized retractable shades give you instant control over sun exposure — lower them to block UV rays and reduce heat, or raise them when conditions change.
Whether you’re relaxing by the pool, hosting a backyard dinner, or just trying to enjoy your morning coffee without squinting, shades create a more comfortable environment exactly when you need it.
Add Privacy Without Feeling Closed In
Close neighbors? Busy street? Our privacy shades let you create a secluded outdoor retreat without sacrificing style or airflow. When lowered, they block sightlines from neighbors or passersby. When you want the open feel back, simply retract them.
Privacy shades are especially popular for pool areas, outdoor showers, and homes on smaller lots where neighbors are close by.
Custom Fit for Your Home
Every retractable shade system we install is custom-measured and built to fit your specific space. Whether you’re shading a lanai, patio, garage opening, or large window, we design a solution that integrates seamlessly with your home’s architecture.
Our shades come in a range of colors and opacity levels — from solar mesh that blocks 80-99% of the sun to complete privacy (dim-out) fabrics that provide 100% seclusion.
Built to Handle Florida Weather
Our motorized retractable shades are constructed with high-quality materials specifically selected for Central Florida’s climate — intense sun, high humidity, sudden storms, and everything in between. They’re built to last and designed to look great season after season.
And because they’re motorized, you can retract them quickly when storms roll in — no manual effort required.
