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:

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.

Significantly reduces heat gain and sun exposure.

Transforms the patio into a functional room.

Maintains connection to backyard and landscape.
Open when desired, enclosed when needed.
Creates a cooler, more enjoyable environment.
