Habitat Screens

Elevate your home’s comfort and efficiency with our premium habitat screens installation services across Metro Vancouver and BC. Through our partnership with UltraLite, we provide high-performance textile solutions that defend against solar heat, UV radiation, and high winds.

​

I. Our Core Shading Systems

We offer a range of specialized external textile screens designed for seamless architectural integration.

• heroal VS Z (Zip Screen)

  : Our flagship wind-stable system. The fabric is firmly anchored in the guide rails using innovative zip technology, allowing it to withstand extreme wind speeds up to 145 km/h (90 mph).

• heroal VS (Guide Rail)

  : A sleek, classic retractable screen ideal for areas where moderate sun and privacy protection are required without the need for extreme wind resistance.

• heroal VS C (Cable Guide)

  : Features high-quality stainless steel cable guides for a minimalist, airy appearance that accentuates modern building designs. 

  ​

II. Technical Performance List

Our habitat screens are engineered for long-term durability and climate control:

• Solar Heat Reduction: Blocks up to 75%–100% of direct solar radiation, significantly reducing air conditioning costs.

• UV Filtration: Filters up to 98%–100% of harmful UV rays to protect your interior furniture and flooring from fading.

• Expansive Spans: Capable of shading large glass surfaces up to 6m (20 ft) wide and 5m (16 ft) high.

• Insect Protection: When fully deployed, the tight seal of the zip screen acts as a highly effective insect barrier while maintaining airflow.

• Compact Housing: Screens retract into discreet, small aluminum boxes (95mm to 125mm) that can be surface-mounted or fully plastered into the facade for a "hidden" look. 

  ​

III. Premium Fabric Selection

With over 250 fabric designs, we offer the perfect balance of transparency and protection: 

​

• Sergé Fabrics: Coated glass fibers that provide a clear view to the outside while maintaining a warm indoor atmosphere.

• Soltis Fabrics: High-tension polyester with extreme shape retention, perfect for maintaining a tight, flat appearance on large screens.

• Opaque/Blackout: Specialized textiles for 100% room darkening, ideal for bedrooms or media rooms. 

  ​

IV. Smart Operation & Automation

All Breezy Shades & Solutions screens feature state-of-the-art motorized controls: 

​

• Remote & App Control: Operate your shades individually or in groups from your smartphone or wall switch.

• Smart Sensors: Optional wind and sun sensors automatically retract your screens during storms or deploy them when the sun hits a certain intensity.

• Solar Powered: Eco-friendly solar motors with integrated battery packs are available for installations where wiring is difficult.

​

1. Residential Applications

Transform your home into a private, climate-controlled sanctuary. 

• Patios & Decks: Enclose open outdoor areas to create "outdoor rooms" that are protected from wind, rain, and insects.

• Large Picture Windows: Installed on the exterior, these screens act like "sunglasses" for your home, blocking up to 100% of solar heat before it hits the glass.

• Balconies & Loggias: Perfect for high-rise condos where wind-stable systems (like the heroal VS Z) provide privacy and sun protection without the risk of blowing away.

• Gazebos & Pergolas: Add screens to the sides of existing structures to block the low-lying setting sun and keep mosquitoes out.

• Garages & Pool Houses: Convert your garage or pool-side building into a breezy, bug-free workshop or lounge area. 

  ​

2. Commercial & Institutional Applications

Enhance customer comfort and lower operational costs for your business. 

• Restaurants & Cafés: Create all-weather outdoor dining sections. Screens with clear "Habitat Clear" vinyl or high-density mesh protect patrons from wind and street noise while preserving the view.

• Retail Storefronts: Protect expensive floor merchandise from UV fading and reduce glare on digital displays.

• Offices & Conference Rooms: Manage natural light to reduce screen glare and keep indoor temperatures consistent, which can cut cooling costs by up to 30%.

• Schools & Healthcare Facilities: Used in classrooms and clinics to provide privacy, blackout capabilities for presentations, and a safer, climate-controlled environment for students and patients.

• Hospitality (Hotels & Resorts): Ideal for shading guest balconies, terrace bars, and reception areas. 

  ​

3. Specialized Mounting Options

Our systems are designed to fit the specific architecture of your property:

• Surface Mounted: The sleek aluminum box is mounted directly to the wall or window frame, ideal for retrofitting existing buildings.

• Ceiling / Soffit Mounted: Tucked away into an overhang or ceiling, making the screen virtually invisible when retracted.

• Recessed / Built-in: For new construction, the housing can be built directly into the wall for a completely seamless, "hidden" look.

• Cable-Guided: Used in locations where side tracks cannot be mounted, providing a minimalist look with stainless steel cables for stability.

Our screens reduce solar heat, block 99% of UV rays, and provide daytime privacy without obstructing your view. Enjoy Vancouver’s outdoors comfortably, protected from insects and excessive sunlight.
