Is there a screen that protects from the harmful rays of the Sun?

Summer is most definitely upon us here in Florida, and so are some of the not so "fun in the sun" dangers of overexposure to the sun's harmful UV rays. Fortunately, for those of us who have discovered the benefits of retractable, motorized, and hideaway screens, we've learned how to beat the heat while enjoying the great outdoors…..and we're doing it in style!

While some sun exposure is beneficial to your health by providing a natural source of Vitamin D to the body (which aids in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus - essential for healthy bones), over exposure to the sun is nothing to rest on your laurels about.

Dangers of overexposure to the sun (or Excessive Sun Exposure) include:

Deterioration of the skin, including premature aging and loss of elasticity.
Rashes, itchiness, and dryness.
Damage to the eyes.
Sunburn.
Skin cancer.

Thankfully, our screens cut the danger down by more than half! When not in use, your retractable screen disappears into its housing, offering an unobstructed view of the outdoors. You're in control with a retractable screen. You decide when you want it, simply sliding it where you want it to go and leaving it hidden from view when you choose.

Michele's, has done two good jobs for us ... They installed our garage screen doors and enclosed our front door area, and we are very happy with their work and products. We would recommend Michele's Screens to anyone

Everyone that we asked about power rollup screens said Michele's Screens was the best and they were spot on. Everyone from the person answering the phone, to the sales rep to install were very professional. Sales rep arrived on time and the installer also arrived on time and completed the install in 3 hours. Looks great, works great and very happy with the whole experience. Would recommend to everyone needing screens installed.

From start to finish the people were amazing. Bob installed my motorized screen today and changed our garage space from a garage to a hang out space with screen. I recommend Michele's screen to everyone

The technician was on time and upbeat and efficient and quick and honest. He suspected that replacement parts might be needed. He determined that they weren’t and said so. I will definitely call them whenever needed.

Needed a repair on our garage door screen. As in the past, Michele’s was easy to make appointment, arrived on time, repair completed well, and priced very fairly. Highly recommend contacting them if you need a new screen or a repair.

Three easy steps.1) Call set up appointment for them to come measure.2) wait a few weeks for your screen to be made. 3) Make apt. for them to install. An absolutely beautiful job.

We highly recommend Michele’s Hide-Away Screens. Back in 2024 we had their garage screens installed. We were very pleased with the work. Now in 2026 we called for a service on the doors. Again, the communication with the office staff and the service performed by their technician, Jack, was excellent. We definitely would recommend this company for your screening needs.
