Electric screens in Spain

Electric screens have become the standard for modern homes on the Costa Blanca. With the push of a button, you can instantly create shade, privacy and cooling, without having to operate them manually.

Electric screens offer a high level of comfort, especially for large windows and sliding doors. They help keep heat out, reduce annoying glare and create a pleasant indoor climate throughout the day.

Why choose electric screens?

Where manually operated screens were once common, most homeowners now choose electric operation. Not only for the comfort, but also because larger screens are often simply easier to operate with a motor.

With the push of a button, you can lower the screens when the sun shines on the windows. As soon as you want more light, the screens can easily be raised again.

For homes with multiple windows or large expanses of glass, this makes a significant difference in ease of use.

More comfort during hot summer days

The Spanish sun can quickly heat up a home, especially when large windows or sliding doors face south or west. Electric screens make it easy to intervene immediately when the sun becomes stronger.

This helps keep the indoor temperature under control and often means the air conditioning does not have to work as hard.

Perfect for large sliding doors

Modern villas and apartments increasingly feature large sliding doors. Electric screens are particularly popular for these large glass surfaces.

A motor ensures that even wide systems can be operated smoothly and effortlessly. This keeps them comfortable to use, regardless of the screen's dimensions.

You can find more information about this on our page about screens for sliding doors.

Operation by remote control or app

Electric screens can be operated in various ways. The most popular option is a remote control that can operate one or more screens simultaneously.

There are also systems that can be connected to smartphone apps or smart home solutions. This allows you to operate your screens even when you are not at home.

For many homeowners, this provides extra comfort and flexibility.

Automatic sun and wind sensors

One of the greatest advantages of electric screens is the option to add automation.

With a sun sensor, the screens respond automatically when the sun shines on the façade. This keeps the home cooler without you having to intervene.

A wind sensor can automatically protect the screens when weather conditions change. This not only increases comfort but also helps extend the system's lifespan.

Electric screens or shutters?

Are you unsure whether to choose electric screens or shutters? Both systems can be equipped with a motor and remote control, but their applications differ.

Screens are ideal when you want to retain your view outside while keeping out the heat. Shutters provide maximum blackout, extra insulation, and greater privacy.
