The color of the fabric, housing and tracks, chosen so the screens look like part of the house and not an add-on.
Color changes how a screen looks and how it works. A dark fabric disappears from the inside and cuts glare. A light fabric looks soft but can feel more visible. Housing and tracks that match your trim melt into the columns, while contrasting hardware reads as a design feature.
We bring fabric swatches and finish samples to your patio so you can judge them in your own light, next to your brick, siding and trim. We talk through which colors fit the style of your home and which meet any neighborhood association guidelines. Then we order exactly what you chose. It helps to think about how the color will look in different seasons and light. A bronze housing against warm brick can look rich in summer sun and quiet in winter, while a black housing can feel crisp against white trim all year. We also talk about how dust and pollen show on different colors, so the choice is practical as well as pretty.
Charcoal, black, bronze, gray, sand and other tones are common. Darker fabrics usually look clearer from inside.
Powder-coated aluminum comes in white, almond, bronze, black and sometimes custom colors. Matching the trim hides the hardware.
Colors change with light. Samples held against your columns at different times of day make the choice easier.
Some neighborhoods list approved colors. We help you check and provide samples for approval.
