Talius Habitat Screens
Project Overview
A more comfortable, usable patio — without sacrificing openness or views.
Outdoor living is at the heart of homes in the Southwest—but extreme sun, heat, and exposure can quickly limit how often those spaces are actually used.
For this Lake Havasu homeowner, the goal was simple: create a more comfortable, usable patio space without sacrificing openness or views.
The existing covered patio had strong architectural bones, but lacked protection from:
- Intense sunlight
- Heat buildup
- Wind exposure
- Insects
Desert Window Treatments was brought in to transform the space into a true extension of the home.
The Solution
An integrated screen system
that adapts throughout the day.
The team installed a fully integrated Talius Retractable Screen system (Habitat Screens),
enclosing the patio while maintaining flexibility and visual openness. The result is a seamless indoor-outdoor transition.
Lower screens for shade and cooling
Reduce glare and heat during peak sun
Create a more private environment
Maintain airflow while limiting insects
Raise screens fully for unobstructed views
Why Retractable Screens
On-demand control of the space.
Rather than permanently enclosing the patio, the system lets the homeowner adapt the space to the moment — for shade, for views, or for both.
- Solar control
Significantly reduces heat gain and sun exposure.
- Extended living space
Transforms the patio into a functional room.
- Preserved views
- Flexible use
- Improved comfort
