Motorized Screens

Introducing the Knight Shade! An exterior motorized screen for the world's best screen and patio dealers.

Custom manufactured to your exact specifications: just-in-time and just-for-you. Templar Screens' Knight Shade was designed from the ground up to be flexible enough to match any home design, reliable enough for the most discerning contractor and priced effectively to help you win more jobs.

Features Include:

Seamless surface mount retention tracks – no ugly cord-channel covers or extra visible seams. 2.00″ wide track, to make your in-the-field deductions easy.

Each Knight Shade is powdercoated and built just-in-time and just-for-you. 12 “standard" frame colors and 4-5 seasonal colors always in stock, and every RAL and powder option available at your request. Every extrusion is powdercoat AFTER being cut to length, so even the cut ends are powdercoated – preventing a common cause of powdercoat failure and eliminating service calls.

Hook and loop roller tube attachment provides infinite adjustability for your installers in the field. Account for uneven surfaces and strange skews by adjusting the attachment until it's picture perfect. No more wrinkles or “hour-glassing".

Industrial grade FDM 3D Printed Parts. Zero draft = Perfect fit! Our parts have geometry that would be impossible with traditional plastic injection molding and use material that is natural UV-resistant. Each part is printed in a kit just-in-time for each specific Knight Shade – allowing us to carry nearly zero inventory and keep overhead costs low.

Flexi-Track dual material PVC zipper retainer. Entirely encapsulated by thick aluminum extrusion, yet designed to give you some adjustment during installation. 1/8″ of automatic “flex" available on each side. Our track systems combine Rigid PVC, Semi-Rigid PVC, PETG and 6061-T6 Aluminum to give you strength where you need it while allowing the screen to deploy with a buttery smoothness. This is what best-in-class looks like.

Extruded threads allow for complete flexibility in recessed track mounting alignment. Adjustment holes are pre-drilled on the “inner track" before powdercoating, but the extruded threads along the length of the track mean that any outer track can be used with any inner track, making your installers life that much easier.

Sixteen custom aluminum extrusions allow you to customize a Knight Shade for any and every install. ALL extrusions come from North America with alloy/temper combinations chosen to minimize deflection.

#7 Zippers impulse welded on all retention edges. No sewn seams to fail or compromise the fabric panel. Our welds are tested and recorded daily to ensure the fabric coating fails before the weld does! Using a zipper for side retention allows for a tight coil inside the upper housing and a greater unit height. Combined with our flexi-track system, the Knight Shade is ridiculously strong.

Dependable motors and control options with the home owner in mind. We offer both Alpha Pro (7-year warranty) and Somfy Altus (5-year warranty) motors in different configurations depending on your requirements.
