Patios, balconies, gazebos—virtually any door opening—can become an instant screened oasis free from disease-carrying mosquitoes and other pests with Alco's Mirage Motorized Screen Systems. A push of a button lowers the screens, which can be framed in white, bronze, ivory, or custom colors and made to fit openings ranging in size from 3 feet by 3 feet to 25 feet wide by 16 feet tall. For added simplicity, designers can spec the system with automated timers and preset parameters for sun intensity and wind speed. Alco Ventures, 800.667.2526; www.miragescreensystems.com.

Five of NanaWall's popular glass wall systems have been awarded the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Star rating. The systems' airtight seals, insulated glass with low-E film, and added insulation inside the aluminum framing combine to create a thermal barrier that helps maintain a constant indoor temperature. In addition to energy efficiency, each floor-to-ceiling glass panel generates a sound barrier for greater acoustical privacy. NanaWall Systems, 800.873.5673; www.nanawall.com.
