Fenetex Motorized Screens, Installed Statewide

Factory-Authorized Dealer
Fenetex screens in Pittsburgh, built into the space instead of tacked on
Fenetex makes motorized retractable screens and shades for outdoor living spaces. Each screen runs in a side track and rolls up into a compact housing, so you can close in a pergola, covered patio or porch when the bugs come out and open it right back up when you want the breeze and the view.
Premier Custom Builders is a factory-authorized Fenetex dealer in Pennsylvania. Because we also design and build the outdoor rooms themselves, we plan the screens, the framing and the wiring together, and our in-house carpenters finish the openings so the housings and tracks look like part of the structure.

Motorized vs. Fixed
Fenetex screens vs. a traditional screened-in porch
A fixed screened porch keeps bugs out all the time. Motorized retractable screens give you that protection only when you want it. Here is how the two compare.
| Fenetex Motorized Screens | Fixed Screens or Screened Porch | |
|---|---|---|
| Open air | Retract fully out of sight when not needed | Screen stays in place year-round |
| Views | Clear, unobstructed views when raised | Mesh is always between you and the view |
| Protection | Insect, shade or clear vinyl screens for bugs, sun or wind | Mainly insects, with little sun or wind control |
| Pergolas & open structures | Mount between posts on pergolas and louvered roofs | Needs walls or framed panels to hold the screen |
| Operation | Motorized, raised or lowered at the touch of a button | Nothing to operate, but nothing to adjust |
| Up-front investment | Higher, with motors, tracks and wiring | Lower, with simpler materials |
Where They Work
Retractable screens for pergolas, porches and patios
Fenetex motorized screens work almost anywhere there is a roof overhead and a clear opening to fill: StruXure louvered pergolas, covered patios, porches, pavilions, outdoor kitchens and pool areas. Combined with a louvered roof, they turn an open pergola into an outdoor room you can use in more kinds of weather.
A good screen install is mostly planning. We look at a few key details on every project before anything is ordered.
Openings
The size and shape of each span, and whether posts and beams are square and solid enough to mount to.
Power
Where the electrical will run to each motor, planned so wiring stays hidden.
Mounting
Whether housings sit on the face of a beam or are recessed into trim for a cleaner look.
Controls
How you want to raise and lower the screens, one at a time or several together.

Questions
Fenetex screen FAQs
What are Fenetex screens?
Fenetex makes motorized retractable screens and shades for outdoor spaces. Each screen travels in side tracks and rolls up into a compact housing when it is not in use. Options include insect screens, shade screens and clear vinyl screens, so you can choose what you want to keep out.
Where can I buy Fenetex screens in Pittsburgh?
Premier Custom Builders is a factory-authorized Fenetex dealer based in New Castle, and we install Fenetex screens in Pittsburgh and across Pennsylvania. We measure, order, prepare the openings and install the screens ourselves, so one team is responsible for the whole job.
Can motorized screens be added to a pergola?
Yes. Retractable screens can mount between the posts of a pergola as long as the structure is solid and the openings can be measured accurately. They pair especially well with a StruXure louvered roof, which handles sun and rain overhead while the screens close in the sides.
Can Fenetex screens be installed on an existing porch or patio?
Often, yes. Many existing covered porches, patios and pavilions can take motorized screens once we confirm the posts and beams are suitable and plan where power will come from. In some cases we add framing or trim first so the screens mount cleanly.
Do motorized screens need electrical work?
Yes. Each motor needs power, so most projects include running electrical to the screen locations. Because we plan the wiring along with the screens, it can usually be routed so it stays hidden in the structure.
Are retractable screens better than a screened-in porch?
It depends on how you use the space. A fixed screened porch keeps bugs out all the time, while retractable screens disappear when you want open views and a breeze. Many homeowners who already have a pergola or covered patio prefer retractable screens because they keep the space feeling open.
How do you operate Fenetex screens?
Fenetex screens are motorized, so you raise and lower them with a control instead of by hand. We go over the available control options with you during selection and set up the screens so they are simple to use every day.
How much do Fenetex screens cost?
Every screen project is quoted after we visit the site and review the scope with you. Contact us to schedule a consultation and we’ll give you a written estimate.
