Keder Screens solves outdoor challenges the custom install channel is tired of taking hits for
Wind-rated, zipperless outdoor screens are engineered to reduce callbacks, protect margin, and help integrators specify outdoor living with confidence—not apologies
DALLAS, TX Feb. 23, 2026 — Keder Screens today announced its official launch into the residential custom installation (CI) channel, introducing a purpose-built, motorized outdoor screen platform engineered to perform under real-world conditions: high wind, large openings, daily use, and long-term exposure.
Keder Screens is not new or new to the category. The company is entering the CI channel with a clear point of view shaped by the category’s most common pain points: outdoor screens that fail in predictable ways—wind-related blowouts, noisy tracks, fabric pull-out, and repeat service calls that erode margin and strain client relationships. Keder Screens’ answer is a wind-tested, integration-ready outdoor screen platform designed to eliminate known failure points in traditional zipper- and magnet-based systems.
A reliability-first platform built for the realities of outdoor installs
What determines whether outdoor projects stay profitable is mechanical survivability—how the system behaves in wind, how it tracks, how quietly it runs, and how consistently it holds tension over time.
Keder’s wind-rated, zipperless outdoor screens are engineered to eliminate callbacks. The company’s patented V-Track retention platform is designed specifically for exterior openings and the stresses that come with them, delivering smooth, quiet operation without the failure points integrators know too well.
Products are purpose-built for long-term integrity under stress to ensures installations remain profitable after installation.
“Keder Screens delivers motorized outdoor screens engineered for the real world—high wind, large openings, and daily use—so integrators can specify with confidence, reduce service calls, and protect margin,” said Kim Parker Head of Business Development and Partner/Owner of Keder Screens. “Built on our patented V-Track retention platform with wind-tested performance and industry-leading warranty support, we’re here to help the channel win outdoor projects without taking on unnecessary risk.”
Engineered for fewer failures, built for CI workflows
Keder Screens centers its offering on three proof pillars that perfectly align with what integrators need most when specifying outdoor living:
1) Reliability under real conditions
Keder Screens products are engineered to withstand high wind and frequent use without relying on zipper teeth or magnets that can jam, tear, rattle, or wear prematurely. The system’s retention approach is designed to prevent common pull-out and blowout issues that lead to service calls.
2) Integration-ready outdoor living
Keder Screens supports smart home control expectations with common control experiences—including voice, app, and wall switch operation, and motor technology from Somfy, Alpha and Keder’s own motors. This ensures integrators can deliver reliable outdoor comfort that feels like a natural extension of the home’s overall control ecosystem.
3) Spec and design flexibility that helps projects close
The line supports both performance and aesthetics with material and fabric options tailored for outdoor environments, including Omega Pro from Yuma, OmegaTex and bug screen options from Twitchell. Products incorporate Greenguard Gold materials, are backed by a 10-year performance warranty, and are supported with CAD/BIM resources to streamline design collaboration and specification.
Built to win back integrators who’ve been burned
Keder’s products are designed to address the reasons outdoor screens become a “high-risk” scope item:
- Wind-rated stability: Rated 100+ mph (up to 18′ × 14′ in published specs) with retention designed to prevent common pull-out/blowout issues—helping integrators re-enter outdoor projects with confidence.
- Zipperless + magnetless retention:
- No zipper teeth to jam or tear
- No magnets clicking/clacking in operation
- Locked-in bottom bar and controlled movement
- Built from lessons learned in the field after years of installs
- Dealer enablement that makes Keder easy to sell and safe to specify: Tools and programs designed to reduce friction from quote to close, including a Patio Visualizer, a streamlined cut-sheet workflow, training (in-house and onsite), and warranty confidence aligned with real-world performance.
“If outdoor jobs have burned you, you don’t need more features—you need fewer failures,” said Kim Parker, Head of Business Development and Partner/Owner of Keder Screens. “We’re not trying to be your whole ecosystem, but we are the outdoor reliability specialist you can trust. Connectivity is table stakes—outdoor survivability is the variable that kills profit.”
Differentiation: built for outdoors, not adapted for it
Keder Screens is intentionally separating its value from three common competitive approaches in the market:
- AV screen brands extending outdoors: strong AV heritage, but outdoor reliability is the fight integrators are actually losing—and paying for.
- Shade brands selling protocols + price: fast quoting is helpful, but mechanical survivability is what protects project outcomes and category perception.
- Traditional zipper/magnet systems: known failure points that can lead to pop-outs, jammed corners, track noise, and wind-related warnings that frustrate clients.
These details and everything Keder Screens puts into its products aren’t just important, they are mission critical.
“I didn’t start Keder Screens to make small tweaks—I started it because I’ve been the one on the ladder fixing the same predictable failures,” said Justin Collins. “Our goal is straightforward: give dealers an outdoor screen platform engineered to perform in real conditions, reduce callbacks, and make every install cleaner and more dependable.”
