Outdoor Motorized Shades Provide Comfort, Beauty, and Privacy

Enjoy the Pinnacle of Outdoor Living

Living along Lake Michigan in Lake Forest, IL, comes with incredible beauty, open spaces, and the opportunity to live in one of the most desirable suburbs in the nation. In this community, many homeowners have made their outdoor spaces extensions of their homes, a seamless flow of indoor and outdoor living carried by music and outdoor audio, fireplaces and firepits, and outdoor kitchens and grills. Essentially, it's the pinnacle of outdoor living.

You can maximize these living spaces using outdoor motorized shades, also known as retractable screens. These shades become part of the outdoor living design, added to three-season additions, patios, decks, outdoor kitchens, gazebos, and even garages. They create more livable space while retaining beautiful views. With the touch of a button, you create comfort, protection, and privacy.

In the world of automated outdoor screens, one company stands above the rest—Progressive Screens. 

Let's explore their benefits and features and how to maximize the time you enjoy your outdoor areas.

Living Your Best Outdoor Life

Mosquitoes, wind, rain, and hot and humid summers are part of life on Chicago's North Shore. High-quality waterproof and bug proof screens that block harmful UV rays protect you from it all. They minimize glare, lower the temperature in the summer months, and let you enjoy a beautiful rainstorm in comfort. 

At Avidia, many of our clients are also looking for privacy. Whether hosting a private event or simply enjoying a family meal, with one touch, you can select your level of privacy in an instant. You can control your screens from a handheld or in-wall remote, a smartphone, or we can integrate them into your home automation system. By integrating sensors, we protect your space with screens that automatically lower when wind and rain arrive.

An Innovative Design

Progressive Screens’ motorized shades include a patented MagnaTrack system. This next-level technology utilizes the power of rare earth neodymium magnets that enable screens to glide smoothly, reliably, and quietly. The inner track floats free and self-adjusts, making it the world's only self-correcting retractable screen system. 

From the size to the color and materials, these screens offer complete customization, handmade to exacting standards, and designed to meet your specific needs. This level of refinement enables our designers to bring them into your space in a manner that adds beauty and feels like part of the environment.

Because they're made of the highest quality materials, Progressive Screens is confident in offering an industry-leading ten-year warranty.

Incorporating Furniture and Features

By adding a layer of protection from the elements, our designers and integrators can add features that enhance your outdoor living, from beautiful furniture to advanced electronics, like outdoor TVs and speakers. 

At Avidia, we partner with best-in-class leaders in home automation and audio-video technology. In the world of motorized retractable screen systems, that brand is Progressive Screens.
