Everything You Need to Know

All exterior screens are powered by Somfy RTS® wireless motorization—control your screens with a handheld remote, wall switch, or your phone.

Most installations include the Bond Bridge, the standard out-of-the-box control device. This user-friendly bridge captures and translates Somfy RTS radio signals, connecting your screens to the Bond Home app (iOS & Android). Group multiple screens, set schedules, and use voice commands with Alexa or Google Home—no complex setup required.

For full smart home integration, pair with the Tahoma Smart Hub to unlock compatibility with Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, Philips Hue, IFTTT, and more.

Look

Variety of colors and transparencies

Our motorized exterior screens provide a clean, modern aesthetic that enhances any outdoor space. When retracted, they disappear almost completely—preserving unobstructed views and sleek architecture. When extended, high-quality fabrics deliver elegant shading, privacy, and insect protection without bulky hardware.

Powered by advanced Somfy motors (such as Maestria™ RTS or similar models), screens operate ultra-quietly with jam-free movement and omnidirectional control from up to 65 feet away, with precise limit settings for perfect fabric tension every time.

Value

Motorized exterior screens from Carolina Blind Crafters deliver exceptional long-term value through enhanced comfort, protection, energy savings, and effortless peace of mind. They expand usable outdoor living areas by blocking sun, wind, insects, pollen, and UV rays while allowing natural airflow—reducing heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter for lower energy bills.

Powered by the reliable Somfy RTS motor, key features include:

Advanced obstacle detection with auto-reverse—senses obstructions during movement and stops/reverses automatically to protect screen fabric, furniture, people, and pets.

Whisper-quiet and smooth performance—tubular motor design minimizes noise and vibration for undisturbed enjoyment.

Wireless RTS radio control—omnidirectional signals for flexible, reliable operation; easy grouping of multiple screens; programmable limits; and compatibility with optional sun/wind sensors for automatic weather-based deployment.

Durability and low maintenance—weather-resistant design with precise positioning and manual override for power issues.

Smart integration—via Tahoma Smart Hub for Apple HomeKit and broader ecosystems, or the included Bond Bridge for app-based control, scheduling, and voice assistants.
