Fixed Screens In Kansas City
Fixed Screens for Porches and Patios in Kansas City, MO
Our Solar Shield Blinds Fixed Screens close in the openings a shade can't cover, like the arch over a porch on Ward Parkway or the triangle under a gable roof. They're built on site to each opening, with no support bars across the view.
Where It Fits In Kansas City
Where Fixed Screens fit in Kansas City
Porches and covered patios in the city carry a lot of shapes: arches, gable ends, half walls and narrow gaps beside a column. Fixed Screens fill each one.
- Arched porch openingsThe older homes along Ward Parkway and in Hyde Park have arched porch openings that a rolling shade can't follow. A Fixed Screen is cut to the curve.
- Gable ends over a covered patioA peaked roof leaves a triangle above the header where the patio shade stops. A Fixed Screen closes that triangle so bugs can't come in over the top.
- Skinny gaps beside the columnsA narrow opening next to a post is too small for a shade. A Fixed Screen covers it with the same screen as the shades beside it.
- Rooftop and balcony spacesA Crossroads rooftop or a Westport balcony with an odd shaped side can be screened in without adding bars that break up the skyline.
Worth Knowing
Odd shapes, matching screen, and a clear view
Kansas City porches were built in every style the last hundred years offered, and plenty of them have openings that no shade can cover. An arch, an angle top, a triangle under the roof peak or a narrow slot beside a column all leave gaps that let in bugs, leaves and blowing rain. Our Fixed Screens are made for exactly those openings. They're built on site to your opening sizes, and the system adds no vertical or horizontal supports across the opening, so the view stays as clear as possible.
On a city porch the shades and the fixed screens share a job. A motorized patio shade drops over the big openings facing the street or the yard, and the Fixed Screens fill the arches, the gable triangle and the slot beside a column so nothing slips in around the edges. Because we can run the same screen and order the track in the same color as your shades, nobody walking past on a Brookside sidewalk sees two different products.
You choose how open each screen is, from a standard bug screen or a no-see-um weave to a 70% bug screen or a solar screen at 80%, 90% or 95%, and the 95% is the one most of our patio shades use. On a city porch with close neighbors, a tighter screen on the side facing the next house buys a little privacy.
Older Kansas City porches were framed by hand, so no two openings are quite the same size, and an arch on one side is rarely a perfect match for the other. Building the screens on site is what makes that work. Our Install Techs cut each track to the opening in front of them rather than to a drawing, and the screen goes in tight to that exact shape.

Straight Answers
Fixed Screens questions from Kansas City homeowners
Yes. Fixed Screens are built for specialty shaped openings like arches, angle tops and triangles. The track is cut on site to the curve of your arch, so the screen follows the shape of the opening on an older Kansas City porch.
No. Our fixed screen system is designed to keep your view as clear as possible, without adding vertical or horizontal supports across the opening.
Yes. We can use the exact same screen your Exterior Patio Shades use, and the screen track hardware is available in the same colors, so the shades and the fixed screens look like one system.
No. Depending on the screen you choose, it also helps keep rain, snow, wind, leaves and other debris out. The options go from a standard bug screen up to a 95% solar screen.
No. They are built on site to your opening sizes. We cut the track to fit each opening, then roll the screen in with a heavy duty spline so it sits taut and clean.
No, Fixed Screens can cover small or specialty openings on their own. They are designed to work with our patio shades, though, and on a porch with a mix of large and odd shaped openings the two together close in the whole space.
