Sarasota, FL – United States Awning, a Sarasota-based specialty contractor that specializes in the design, fabrication, and installation of awnings and other shade products signed a dealer agreement to represent Progressive Screens, a Sarasota-based manufacturer of motorized roll screens.
“After we saw a demonstration of their Defender Hurricane Screen System we knew we wanted to add their screens to our line of shade solutions,” says Mark Schwalm, President of United States Awning. “Not only is it an excellent retractable screen on its own, but it’s also an ideal companion product for our motorized louvered roof systems.”
“There was a time when retractable screens did not offer both hurricane and UV protection,” adds Schwalm, “but the folks at Progressive Screens figured out a way to incorporate both features into their screens which will benefit homeowners and business owners.”
“Our MagnaTrack motorized screen system and our Defender Hurricane system are setting the bar for innovation, design, and performance,” says Arthur James, President of Progressive Screens. “We are glad to be partnered with Mark and his team at United States Awning and our product is perfect for the other products they carry. MagnaTrack/Defender will be a huge improvement to their offerings, and we look forward to a prosperous future ahead.”
Serving residential and commercial clients, Progressive Screens patented MagnaTrackTM
system outperforms zipper-style retractable screens guaranteeing hassle-free operation.
