Retractable Solar and Insect Screens
E-Zip Motorized Patio Screens
Earth Ideas Awnings provides Eclipse E-Zip retractable patio screens for Houston-area homes and businesses. The motorized screen lowers when you want shade and retracts when you want an open view.
Its zipper-style side retention holds the fabric in tracks. With suitable insect-screen fabric and properly enclosed openings, E-Zip can help keep insects out of a porch or patio.

E-Zip Side-Retention Patio Screens
E-Zip combines retractable fabric with side tracks for patio and porch openings. Motorized operation lets you lower the screen for shade or raise it when you want the opening clear.
Choose Fabric for Your Priorities
Compare solar-screen and insect-screen fabrics for the balance of shade, visibility and insect protection you want. Privacy depends on the fabric and lighting; an open-weave screen should not be assumed to provide nighttime privacy.
Plan Your Installation
Earth Ideas Awnings can assess your Houston-area opening, mounting surfaces and power requirements. We will confirm available dimensions, fabric, frame finish and controls before you order.

E-Zip Patio Screen Questions & Answers
How does E-Zip retain the screen fabric?
Zipper-style side retention holds the fabric in tracks while the screen lowers and retracts. This differs from a screen guided only by cables.
Can E-Zip keep insects out of my porch?
With suitable insect-screen fabric and properly enclosed openings, it can help keep insects out. Other gaps, doorways and the fit of the installation also matter.
Is E-Zip manual or motorized?
The E-Zip system described on this page is motorized. If you prefer a manual screen, ask us to compare suitable cable-and-track screen configurations.
Will I have privacy at night?
Do not assume open-weave fabric provides nighttime privacy. Visibility depends on the weave and lighting on each side. Compare samples for the privacy you need.
How large can an E-Zip screen be?
Limits depend on the model, cassette size and fabric. We measure your opening and confirm the available dimensions and configuration for your project.
How do I get pricing and operating instructions?
