Components for Motorized Retractable Screens

SB5 supplies the components that go into every motorized retractable screen on the market: pile weatherstrip in every AAMA 701/702-23 backing-and-pile combination, idler end caps in 40 through 85 mm tube sizes, motor crowns compatible with Somfy, Simu, Becker, and Nice systems, zip-track side channels, hem-bar weights, brackets, endcaps, and stainless fasteners. Sourced from factories we've vetted for dimensional repeatability, inspected on every run, and — once you commit to a spec — warehoused in Plant City, FL so reorders ship from local inventory rather than restarting a 30-to-60-day production cycle.

The exterior shading and motorized screen market continues to expand as homeowners and commercial builders invest in energy efficiency, insect protection, and outdoor living. Zip screen systems, retractable screens, and motorized awnings all consume brush seals, roller tubes, guide tracks, and mounting hardware at high volume.
