Motorized Outdoor Screens in Park City & Greater Utah

Elevate your outdoor living with simple motorized protection. Argenta designs and installs custom Progressive Screens that disappear when retracted, so you can preserve your mountain views and entertainment potential while providing instant relief from insects, heat, and glare.

Patio Screens Create More Comfortable, Usable Outdoor Spaces

For luxury estate owners in the Wasatch Back, the transition between indoor and outdoor living should be effortless. The Mountain Modern aesthetic features expansive glass walls and sprawling patios designed to merge the interior with the landscape, but Utah’s climate often dictates otherwise. Whether you are hosting a summer evening in Park City or enjoying a quiet morning in Cottonwood Heights, motorized screens transform your patio into a functional, year-round outdoor room.

By integrating high-performance mesh, your deck remains a comfortable sanctuary that expands your usable square footage while blocking the breeze and UV rays.

  • Lifestyle Extension: Turn a seasonal deck into a three-season lounge where you can host dinners without worrying about sudden temperature drops or persistent mountain pests.
  • Design-First Approach: We work with your builder or architect to keep your view of the Timpanogos or the Jordanelle completely unobstructed while blending with your home’s architecture when shades are in their up position.
  • Environmental Control: Beyond bugs, screens act as a buffer against the swirling dust and the light mountain mist that can otherwise ruin high-end outdoor furniture.

Screen Options for Patios, Decks & Outdoor Living Areas

Your premier Utah property has unique needs, and our patio screens are ideal for expansive estate patios in Midway, modern mountain decks in Sandy, and everywhere in between. Argenta provides custom-fit motorized screens that enhance privacy and utility without compromising your design aesthetic. A motorized screen is a sophisticated upgrade that can withstand the high-altitude UV intensity and the rapid pressure changes common in our canyons.

  • Custom Color Matching: We offer a wide palette of powder-coated finishes to match your existing window mullions or siding. The tracks blend perfectly into the building envelope.
  • Mesh Variety: Choose from varying degrees of openness factors. Whether you need 95% UV blockage for a west-facing wall or a high-visibility insect mesh for a shaded porch, each screen is custom-selected for that specific orientation.

Patio & Deck Screens

Many luxury homes feature disappearing corner doors or 20-foot spans that standard screens simply cannot cover, but we specialize in large-format openings that use specialized weighted bars and tensioning systems. Even on the largest spans, the mesh remains taut and professional in appearance.

Bug & Insect Screens

Enjoy mountain evenings without the intrusion of lakeside pests or the high-altitude no-see-ums that can drive guests indoors. High-density mesh provides a complete edge-to-edge seal, unlike manual screens that often leave gaps at the bottom or sides. You and your family can enjoy a lights-on evening experience without attracting every insect in the valley and without using messy sprays or DIY fixes.

Sun & Glare Protection

High-altitude UV in Utah is significantly more intense than at sea level, which can degrade outdoor fabrics, make outdoor TV viewing nearly impossible, and make spaces uncomfortable. Solar mesh fabric acts as a high-performance filter, reducing heat gain by up to 90% while eliminating harsh glare that washes out screens.

Privacy Screens

As luxury developments in Eagle Mountain and Park City become more dense, maintaining a sense of seclusion is a priority. We offer blackout or high-density privacy weaves that allow you to see clearly into your yard while preventing neighbors or golfers from seeing onto your patio. It provides the intimacy of an indoor room with the airflow of wide open spaces.

Luxury Patios Look Better with Sun Shades

Aesthetics are non-negotiable for a $5M+ estate. Argenta specializes in technology that can hide in plain sight, including sun- and bug-blocking patio screens built directly into the soffits or headers of your home. During the construction or renovation phase, we coordinate with your builder to create a recessed housing. When retracted, the housing and tracks are virtually undetectable, preserving the clean lines of your architecture.

For existing homes, we offer ultra-low-profile surface mounts that mimic the look of your trim. We understand that visible wires, bulky motors, or tacked-on boxes are unacceptable, so our installations are clean, precise, and fully integrated. We treat your home’s exterior with the same white-glove care that we apply to interior smart home integrations.

Powered by Industry-Leading Progressive Screens

As a certified Progressive Screens dealer, Argenta utilizes the patented MagnaTrack system. This is the gold standard for motorized patio screen technology, and it works well for Utah’s variable climate. Standard zipper-track screens frequently jam or blow out of their tracks when hit by a gust of wind. In a high-altitude environment like Eagle Mountain or Park City, this leads to constant service calls and frustration.

MagnaTrack uses powerful neodymium magnets within the side tracks, allowing the screen to float. If a strong wind hits the mesh, the magnets allow a small amount of movement, then pull the screen back into its perfect, taut position.

  • Self-Tensioning: The system automatically adjusts to temperature changes (which cause the mesh to expand or contract), so it will never look saggy or wrinkled.
  • Durability: Built with heavy-duty aluminum components and world-class Somfy motors, systems are designed to last decades, not just a few seasons.

Seamless Integration with Your Outdoor Systems

At Argenta, we integrate solar shades and motorized screens into your lifestyle. We view these screens as a single component of a larger outdoor oasis, which is an expansive ecosystem of life-enhancing technology. By linking your screens to your central home processor, we remove the need for manual operation.

With one tap on a waterproof remote, you could initiate an Outdoor Dining scene: your landscape speakers begin playing a curated playlist, your property lighting dims to a warm amber, and your motorized screens lower to create a cozy, private, bug-free environment for your guests.

  • Home Automation: Patio shades appear as a controllable zone within your smart home automation platform (Control4, Savant, or Crestron).
  • Instant Comfort: If your patio includes infrared heaters, screens help trap that heat, significantly extending your outdoor season into late autumn or early spring.

Smart Control Made Simple

Control your outdoor spaces with a single touch, a voice command, or, better yet, let the house think for itself. Technology should serve you rather than require a manual to operate.

  • Automated Scenes: We can program settings to adjust based on the time. As the sun begins to set in the Wasatch Back, screens lower automatically to block the glare before you even realize it’s an issue.
  • Safety Sensors: We integrate wind and rain sensors. If a sudden summer storm rolls in while you are away, your system will automatically retract the screens to protect the mesh from damage.
  • Reliable Infrastructure: To ensure these smart features never fail, we make sure your network can handle the load of additional devices. A high-performance outdoor network will be just as robust as your indoor connection, and app-based controls will be instantaneous and lag-free.

Frequently Asked Questions About Patio Screens

What are the best motorized bug screens?
We recommend Progressive Screens with MagnaTrack™ technology. The high-density mesh is specifically designed to keep out local mountain pests, while the magnetic track system maintains function even during Utah’s frequent wind shifts. Unlike standard zipper screens, these won't jam when the wind picks up off the slopes.
Can motorized outdoor screens handle Utah's winter weather and snow?
Our screens are built for year-round durability. During heavy winter snows, we recommend retracting the screens into their protective housing. The aluminum components and mesh are engineered to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations without becoming brittle or warping. If they are used to enclose a heated patio, they are excellent at retaining heat.
Can I integrate my patio screens with a Control4 or Savant system?
Yes. Argenta specializes in full system integration. We can program your screens to respond to customized scenes. For example, pressing Entertain can lower the screens, dim the patio lights, and start your outdoor music at the same time.
What is the best way to reduce sun glare on an outdoor TV?

Solar mesh screens are the most effective solution. They block up to 95% of UV rays and glare, allowing you to enjoy high-definition outdoor displays even during peak afternoon sun in Midway and beyond. You’ll be able to place TVs in locations that would otherwise be washed out by the sun. 

Are Progressive Screens wind-rated for high-altitude locations like Eagle Mountain?

Yes. The MagnaTrack™ system used by Progressive Screens is the only one of its kind that allows the screen to float within the track. In high-wind areas like Eagle Mountain, this prevents the mesh from tearing or the motor from burning out, as the magnets provide the necessary give to handle pressure.

How long does it take to install motorized screens in a luxury estate?
Most custom installations are completed within 1–2 days once the units are manufactured. However, for large estates, we coordinate closely with your builders and architects during the design phase to create a perfectly recessed, invisible fit.
Do motorized screens provide privacy from neighbors in dense neighborhoods?
Absolutely. We offer various mesh densities that provide daytime privacy, letting you see out while keeping neighbors from seeing in. This is an ideal solution for luxury homes in Cottonwood Heights, where properties may be in closer proximity than mountain estates.
Where can I find a certified Progressive Screens dealer?
Argenta is a premier certified dealer serving the entire Wasatch Front, including Park City, Salt Lake City, and the surrounding resort communities. We provide end-to-end service, from initial design to long-term maintenance.
