Why Are Our Outdoor Windscreens the Best Choice?
The blustery winds and seasonal extremes of Chicago mean an outdoor windscreen is more than just a luxury. It’s a critical part of your business strategy to provide comfort, privacy, and attractive surroundings to your customers. Whether you want to protect a restaurant patio in River North, a rooftop deck in Wicker Park, or a sidewalk café in the Loop, SignFreaks delivers commercial-grade windscreens that combine weather and noise protection with personal branding. From Sunbrella canvas to Patio 500 vinyl windscreens to plastic windscreens for gazebos, our products are designed to seamlessly fit into and improve any outdoor environment.
Visibility & Functionality
Our patio windscreens do more than block the wind—they define outdoor spaces, enhance privacy, and elevate aesthetics. Whether it’s a balcony windscreen or a garden screen on a deck, your guests enjoy an environmentally shielded yet visually open environment that enhances their comfort without compromising the view.
Built for Chicago’s Weather
Chicago’s strong winds, icy lakefront gusts, and urban noise are no joke. We use performance-grade materials like commercial vinyl and aluminum framing to make our products. Our deck and patio windscreens are engineered for easy removal and storage in the summer months and easy reinstallation during fall and winter.
Perfect for Any Commercial Use
From outdoor patio windscreens for restaurants to plastic windscreens for commercial vehicle lots and valet booths or café seating areas, our tailored solutions serve multiple industries. The SignFreaks team has industry-leading experience in solutions for hospitality, retail, healthcare, and beyond.
Tailored to Your Layout
Every patio, porch, or deck has unique dimensions and usage needs. That’s why our outdoor windscreens are completely custom-made—we consider height, airflow, privacy, environment, and even branded design and colors. Whether you need a porch screen or a deck windscreen that doubles as a sunshade, we have you covered.
