Wind is the most common concern with exterior retractable screen systems. With most exterior solar screens, the shade bottom bars are unsecured, so the fabric panels billow and flutter noisily in the wind and are more prone to damage. Not so with Tucson SunFix® screens. The patented SunFix® system locks the bottom bar in place when the shade is lowered, and applies tension to the fabric. This self-locking tension system eliminates the need for bungy cords, tie down straps, or any other type of hardware previously used to secure retractable screens.
The Tucson SunFix® motors, manufactured by Somfy, are radio-controlled by a variety of devices, including handheld transmitters, wireless keypads, timers, sun sensors, wind sensors, or interfaces to home automation systems.
