Cassette Cable & Track Patio Screens

Lowered exterior screens across a covered patio beside a swimming pool

A cassette houses the rolled-up fabric when the screen is retracted. Cable or track guides support the screen as it lowers across a suitable window, patio or porch opening.

Choose Your Operation and Fabric

Compare manual and motorized configurations and fabric samples for shade, visibility and appearance. Privacy depends on the fabric and lighting on each side of the screen.

Compare Your Screen Options

We can assess your opening, mounting surfaces and preferred controls. If insect exclusion is a priority, ask us to compare the proposed guides and side gaps with E-Zip side-retention screens.

Choose Your Cassette Screen Fabric

Compare screen samples for shade, visibility, color and privacy. Fabric openness and lighting affect what you can see through the screen; daytime privacy does not guarantee nighttime privacy.

Cassette Cable & Track Screen Questions & Answers

What does the cassette do?

The cassette houses the rolled-up screen when it is retracted. The selected model determines the housing size and available mounting arrangements.

Are cable-and-track screens available with manual operation?

Manual and motorized configurations are available. We will confirm which operation and control options suit the model and size selected for your opening.

How are these screens different from E-Zip?

Cable-and-track systems use guides for the moving screen. E-Zip uses zipper-style side retention. Compare the proposed systems carefully when insect exclusion is a priority.

Will these screens seal out insects?

Do not assume a standard cable-guided screen creates a sealed insect barrier. Ask us to evaluate the screen fabric, side gaps and opening, and compare E-Zip where appropriate.

Will solar-screen fabric provide privacy?

Privacy varies with fabric openness and lighting. Daytime visibility can differ from nighttime visibility, so compare samples under the conditions that matter to you.
