North Carolina's climate — humid summers, coastal hurricane exposure, and a long outdoor-living season — drives different screen system priorities than the national average. Moderate to high pushes fabric selection toward solution-dyed acrylic or PVDF-coated mesh, and high along the coast, moderate inland push hardware specs toward heavier-gauge cassettes and motorized retraction.The Solar selection on this estimate is a reasonable match for humid subtropical / coastal conditions — solution-dyed acrylics resist the moderate to high typical of North Carolina better than vinyl, and shed humidity well. Motor controls are a sensible spec given high along the coast, moderate inland in this region — retraction during severe weather is the single biggest predictor of long-term screen system life. Estimating in the summer of 2023 is typical for North Carolina — most screen system installations book during peak season, when lead times stretch 6–10 weeks.
