Templar Screens

Templar Screens, LLC is a Seattle, Washington-based manufacturer of motorized exterior screens and power shade systems, distributing across North America through a certified dealer network and serving builders, architects, outdoor living contractors, and design professionals seeking motorized screen systems, retractable exterior screens, patio shades, and automated sun screens for residential and commercial applications. What sets Templar apart from competitors in the exterior shading and motorized screen category is a deeply vertically integrated, automation-first manufacturing model — the company designs its own proprietary components, produces parts in-house using industrial 3D printers and CNC routing machines, and powder coats its own aluminum frames, giving it direct control over quality, lead times, and installer experience at every stage. The company’s guiding principle, “Take Care of the Installer,” drives product and process decisions from order placement through on-site installation, with CAD drawings available for builder specifications and a deliberate policy of selling to only 75% of production capacity to maintain a consistent 3-5 business day production lead time. Fabric options are sourced from world-class suppliers including Serge Ferrari, Mermet, Tempotest, and Twitchell, and motors are powered by Somfy, ensuring premium component quality throughout the system.
