Apollo Screen & Shade Expands to California's Central Coast
Apollo Screen & Shade, a manufacturer of motorized retractable screens, announced its expansion into California's Central Coast through a new dealer partnership with Shoreline Awning & Patio, Inc. — an outdoor living company.
The partnership makes Apollo's full product line available for the first time through a dedicated local dealer serving the Central Coast market, a region that stretches from Monterey to Ventura. The area's blend of high-end custom homes, resort properties, and winery tasting rooms — many featuring the large-format bifold, multi-slide, and stacking door systems that define today's indoor-outdoor living architecture — makes it a prime market for Apollo's motorized screen and shade solutions.
Athena PowerDoor
Leading that product offering is the Athena PowerDoor, Apollo's patent-pending motorized side-to-side screen and shade system engineered specifically for large door openings. The Athena is built to handle bifold, stacking, and oversized openings up to 20 feet — delivering instant insect protection, solar control, or full privacy at the push of a button. Available with supermesh for insect protection, solar mesh for glare and heat control, or dimout fabric for maximum privacy.
The Athena's zipper-locked mesh system is reinforced with sonic-welded vinyl edges, making it strong enough to function as a true barrier — pet resistant, wind resistant, and built to stand up to daily use in demanding residential and commercial environments.
What company leadership says
Beyond the Athena, the partnership gives Central Coast customers access to Apollo's full line of motorized retractable patio screens, exterior solar shades, and retractable screen door systems — products that complement the large-format door and window systems increasingly specified in the region's high-end residential and commercial construction.
"The Central Coast is exactly the kind of market where Apollo products belong," says Sam Steinberg, founder of Apollo Screen & Shade. "Large-format doors and open-plan indoor-outdoor living are the standard in wine country architecture — at the homes, the tasting rooms, the resort properties. The demand for a motorized screen solution that can handle those openings elegantly and reliably has been there for years. The Athena was built for it. And having Shoreline as our local partner means customers in this market get the expert installation and service those products deserve."
