Bracebridge is Muskoka’s year-round hub and whether you live here full-time or head up for the season, your outdoor space should work as hard as you do. Motorized retractable screens turn exposed patios, open decks, and large door openings into comfortable, bug-free living areas without permanently enclosing them. When the weather cooperates, your screen retracts flush into its housing and disappears entirely.
Applications: Bracebridge Homes, Cottages, and Waterfront Properties
The Muskoka River runs through Bracebridge, and waterfront properties throughout the region share the same challenge, beautiful exposure with nowhere to hide from insects and sun. Motorized screens solve it across:
- Open-concept patio and deck surrounds on year-round Bracebridge properties
- Muskoka room conversions enclose an existing covered porch with full motorized panels
- Waterfront and dock-facing openings where wind and bug exposure is highest
- Bi-fold and multi-panel door systems common in newer cottage builds
- Boathouse upper decks and outbuildings that function as seasonal entertaining spaces

"In 2020 Denis and his team installed 3 motorized screens in my backyard. After consulting Denis for the best options, he came back with a full plan of materials, installation, colors and mesh types we could choose from. We are so happy with our motorized screens and would recommend anyone that is looking for a screen to contact Denis."
Do motorized screens work on year-round homes, not just seasonal cottages?
Yes. Motorized screens are just as practical on a full-time Bracebridge residence as on a seasonal cottage. They extend the usable season of any outdoor space and retract completely out of sight during winter months when not in use.
How do motorized screens hold up in Muskoka weather: wind, rain, and temperature swings?
Mirage screens are Canadian-made and tested for Ontario climate conditions. In high wind, we recommend retracting the screen to protect the mesh. The housing unit is weather-sealed and remains mounted year-round on most properties without issue.i
Can motorized screens be installed on a boathouse or outbuilding?
Yes, provided the structure has a suitable header and frame to mount the housing unit. We assess this during the on-site estimate. Boathouse upper decks and detached entertaining structures are a common installation in the Muskoka region.
What is the difference between motorized and manual retractable screens?
Manual retractable screens are operated by hand and suited to standard door openings. Motorized screens use a quiet electric motor controlled by a remote or wall switch, better for large patio enclosures, wide spans, or situations where manual operation is impractical.
Do I need to remove the screen housing for winter in Bracebridge?
No. The housing is designed to stay mounted year-round. The mesh is protected inside the housing when retracted. Most of our Muskoka clients leave the hardware in place and simply stop using the screen after Thanksgiving.
