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.

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

Why choose electric screens?

Where manually operated screens used to be common, most homeowners now opt for electric control. Not only for the comfort but also because larger screens often simply work better with a motor.

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

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

More comfort during hot summer days

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

As a result, the indoor temperature stays better controlled, and the air conditioning often doesn’t have to work as hard.

Perfect for large sliding doors

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

A motor ensures that even wide systems can be operated smoothly and effortlessly. This keeps usage comfortable regardless of the screen’s size.

More information can be found on our page about screens for sliding doors.

Control with remote or app

Electric screens can be operated in various ways. The most chosen solution is a remote control that can operate one or multiple screens at the same time.

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

For many homeowners, this offers extra comfort and flexibility.

Automatic sun and wind sensors

One of the biggest advantages of electric screens is the possibility to add automation.

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

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 between electric screens and shutters? Both systems can be equipped with a motor and remote control, but their applications differ.

Screens are ideal when you want to maintain an outside view and block heat. Shutters offer maximum darkening, extra insulation, and more privacy.
