An Unprotected Outdoor Space Isn't an Amenity. It's a Liability.
For restaurants, resorts, and commercial properties, outdoor space is revenue-generating square footage. When weather closes it, covers disappear. When the screen system fails mid-service, the experience fails with it. When the specification is written too loosely and the builder substitutes a non-certified system in a hurricane zone, the liability exposure outlasts the installation itself.
Commercial motorized screen specification isn't about aesthetics first. It's about operational reliability, code compliance, and the documentation that protects the professional when the building official, the owner's rep, or the structural engineer asks for it.
Every project in this gallery was specified to that standard.

Your Specification. Fully Protected.
Backed by patents, independent testing, and engineering data built to survive any review.
Match the System to the Application.
Commercial projects introduce performance demands residential applications don't — longer spans, heavier use cycles, code requirements tied to occupancy type, and in coastal zones, the full force of Florida's hurricane building codes. Here is the framework.
Restaurants and Outdoor Dining
The outdoor dining enclosure is the highest-frequency use case in commercial motorized screen specification. The system deploys and retracts multiple times daily, in varying weather conditions, with guests present. Operational reliability isn't a nice-to-have — it's the specification requirement. OneTrack™ with Quiet Spring Technology and 99% fewer service calls than conventional systems is the inland restaurant specification. For coastal dining venues in HVHZ zones, MaxForce™ provides both the operational reliability and the hurricane certification the jurisdiction requires..
Hospitality — Resorts, Hotels, and Pool Facilities
Hospitality applications span the widest range of performance requirements in the commercial category. Resort pool decks in inland Florida require a different specification than a Gulf-front cabana in a Miami-Dade county designated wind zone. Both systems serve hospitality applications — system selection follows wind exposure, span, and jurisdiction. For any coastal resort property within HVHZ boundaries, MaxForce™ with FL# 8637R11 is the only retractable screen system with the certification the code requires.
Retail Facades and Mixed-Use Activations
Ground-floor retail and mixed-use commercial spaces increasingly specify motorized screen systems to activate indoor-outdoor transition zones. Span dimensions in retail applications can exceed typical residential openings — the specification must account for structural attachment, egress implications, and the building official's documentation requirements. OneTrack™ handles standard retail facade applications at spans within its engineering parameters. For wider openings, consult the engineering data before finalizing the specification.
Coastal Commercial in Hurricane Zones
Any commercial project on Florida's Gulf or Atlantic coast — restaurant, resort, retail, or event space — in a HVHZ-designated jurisdiction requires MaxForce™. The certification stack is not optional: TAS 201, 202, 203, ASTM E1886, E1996, E330, Florida Product Approval FL# 8637R11. The AHJ will ask for it. The building official will require it before the permit issues. MaxForce™ is the only retractable screen system with the documentation to answer those requests.
