Case Study: Garage PowerScreen Installation – Rolling Hills Heights, CA

Introduction

Southern California garages aren’t just for parking anymore. In Rolling Hills Heights, one homeowner was determined to turn their hot, underused garage into a breezy, comfortable hangout. The solution? An Apollo Garage PowerScreen — giving them shade, privacy, and airflow with the press of a button.

Project Overview

This homeowner came to us with a common problem: the garage was unbearable in the afternoon heat. They liked to spend time in the space but needed a way to cut the sun, stop bugs, and keep some privacy from the street. The goal was simple — make the garage usable, all day long.

We measured the opening, selected the perfect fabric to balance sunlight with visibility, and installed a motorized PowerScreen designed to disappear when not in use.

Installation Process

The Apollo team handled everything from start to finish:

• Custom Measurement: We took exact dimensions to ensure a perfect, gap-free fit.
• Frame & Fabric Selection: The client chose a dark bronze frame with a charcoal mesh for a clean look that blends with the home’s exterior.
• Smooth Installation: The PowerScreen was mounted above the garage opening, with motor wiring hidden for a clean finish.
• Smart Controls: A remote and wall switch were installed for easy operation — open when you want a breeze, closed when you want privacy.

The screen moves quietly, retracts smoothly, and — like all Apollo products — doesn’t slam when closing.

Benefits Realized

• ✅ Cooler Garage Space: Afternoon heat is no longer an issue. The screen knocks down direct sunlight and keeps the interior cooler.
• ✅ Bug-Free Airflow: The mesh allows a full cross-breeze without inviting flies or mosquitoes inside.
• ✅ Privacy On-Demand: From the street, the screen adds a subtle layer of privacy — great for workouts, projects, or entertaining.
• ✅ Quick Use, Clean Look: Rolls away out of sight when not needed. No permanent enclosure, no eyesore.
• ✅ Extended Living Space: The garage now works as an open-air room, perfect for weekend get-togethers or just a quiet morning coffee.

Conclusion

Garage too hot? You’re not alone. With a Garage PowerScreen, you can finally use the space you already have — whether that’s for relaxing, working out, or entertaining. The homeowner in Rolling Hills Heights now enjoys their garage like never before.
