Retractable Patio & Porch Screens for Asheville Homes
Asheville homeowners often want more protection from insects, glare and changing weather without permanently closing off a porch or patio. Retracta Screen of the Carolinas installs custom retractable screen systems, including motorized options for wide outdoor openings and covered living spaces.
When the screen is down, the selected mesh can help control insects, sun or privacy. When conditions are comfortable, the screen retracts into its housing so the opening feels open again and the surrounding view remains a priority.
- Motorized retractable screens for patios, porches and large openings
- Custom measurements for width, height and mounting conditions
- Mesh options for insects, solar control, privacy and visibility
- Professional installation designed around the existing structure
Retractable screens are a strong fit for mountain-view spaces because they can provide protection when needed and retract when you want the opening completely clear.

Screen & Weather-Protection Options for Asheville Outdoor Spaces
The right solution depends on whether your priority is an open view, insect protection, shade, privacy or additional seasonal protection.
Fixed Porch Screens
Keep smaller porch sections or other openings continuously screened when retractability is not necessary.
Explore Fixed Screens
Exterior Shades
Reduce harsh sun and glare on exposed porches, decks and seating areas with exterior shade products selected for the structure and orientation.

Clear Vinyl Systems
When wind, rain or cooler temperatures limit use of a covered space, clear vinyl can provide additional seasonal protection while preserving visibility.

Want a Screened Porch Without Permanently Closing the View?
If you already have a covered porch, patio or outdoor room, a retractable screen system may provide the comfort of a screened space while preserving the flexibility to reopen the entire view. That can be especially useful for Asheville-area homes where the surrounding landscape is part of the reason you use the space.
01
Insect Protection
Use insect mesh to help keep mosquitoes and other pests out while maintaining airflow and visibility.
02
Shade & Solar Control
Solar mesh can reduce glare and solar heat on exposed patios and porches while still allowing visibility through the screen.
03
Open Views on Demand
Raise the screen when you want the opening clear again instead of living with a permanent layer of mesh across the view.
Retractable Screen System vs. Screen Room or Enclosure
A retractable screen system works with an existing opening and can be raised or lowered as needed. Structural construction such as new walls, roofing or a fully built screen room is a different type of project. Retracta Screen of the Carolinas focuses on the custom screen, shade and weather-protection systems that integrate with the existing space.
The best screen choice depends on the opening, exposure, view and the way you want to use the space throughout the year.
Designed around the actual opening
Why Custom Measurement Matters in Mountain Homes
Porches and outdoor rooms can vary widely in opening size, trim details, mounting surfaces and exposure. A professional consultation helps determine whether a retractable, fixed, shade or clear-vinyl system is the right fit before anything is ordered.
- Evaluate the structure and available mounting surfaces
- Consider how wind, sun and exposure affect the space
- Select mesh based on airflow, visibility, shade and privacy goals
- Choose a system that complements the architecture rather than overpowering it

Common questions
Asheville Retractable Screen FAQs
Can motorized retractable screens be installed on an existing Asheville porch or covered patio?
Many existing covered patios and porches can accommodate retractable screens. The opening, mounting surfaces and dimensions need to be evaluated so the correct system and installation method can be selected.
Will retractable screens block a mountain view?
Retractable screens can be raised into their housing when they are not needed, helping preserve an open view. When lowered, visibility depends on the mesh selected for the project.
Can retractable screens help with insects and afternoon sun?
Yes. Insect mesh helps keep bugs out while maintaining airflow, while solar mesh can reduce glare and solar heat. The right mesh depends on how the space is used.
What is the difference between a retractable screen system and a screen room?
A retractable screen system works with an existing opening and can be raised or lowered as needed. A structural screen room or enclosure involves construction beyond the screen system itself.
Do you serve areas outside Asheville?
Yes. We serve Asheville and nearby western North Carolina communities including Black Mountain, Weaverville, Biltmore Forest, Fairview, Arden, Fletcher, Montreat and Woodfin.
