Frequently asked questions
Can I operate screens from an app?
Yes — remote handset is standard, Wi-Fi app control is a small upgrade. Popular on holiday-home installs across Ilkley and the coast.
Are the screens waterproof?
Water-resistant, not waterproof — they shed rain in ordinary weather but aren't a substitute for a fully glazed side. Combining with a glass roof is how Ilkley customers get the three-season effect.
Can screens be added later?
Yes — the veranda posts and beams are engineered to take screen loads from day one. Retrofitting on a Ilkley install we did years ago is a one-day return visit.
Do you cover Bradford?
Yes — Bradford is 12 miles from Ilkley and installs on the same weekly run.
Will the screens survive West Yorkshire winter?
Yes — cassette housings are sealed against rain and dust, and the sensor retracts screens automatically above their rated wind speed. moorland micro-climate: colder nights, real wind loads, and driving horizontal rain — engineering to the wind zone is essential.
