Wholesale Motorized Screens, Built in America

Search for wholesale motorized screens and you will drown in overseas listings: container-load minimums, warranties measured in months, technical support in a timezone twelve hours away. And the first page will also try to sell you projector screens, home-theater gear that shares the name and nothing else. This page is about the other kind: outdoor patio screens, motorized exterior screens for patios, porches, and openings, the product your crews install and homeowners live behind. There is a different way to supply your shade business, a domestic wholesale program from a veteran-owned American manufacturer, with products your installers already know how to mount and a support team that answers in your timezone.

This page describes the AJ Shades wholesale program for dealers and contractors: the outdoor patio screen product lines, how freight and delivery work, samples and displays, warranty-and-service support, and how to open a wholesale conversation. It is a supply relationship designed for businesses that install what they sell.

What the wholesale program covers

Wholesale here means the full supply picture, product, logistics, sales tools, and service backing, not a price sheet emailed to anyone who asks. Four pillars, each one load-bearing:

The product lines you would carry

The wholesale catalog is the QIP product family, and it is deliberately focused: retractable awnings and motorized power screens, done properly, instead of a sprawling catalog of compromises. Awnings come in multiple frame styles and projections with options like LED lighting, wind sensors, and Somfy-powered smart-home controls. Power screens range from standard patio deployments to wind-rated storm-rail systems for exposed openings, with insect mesh and solar fabrics.

The focus is a feature, not a limitation. Every product in the line carries the same 15-year warranty story, the same American-made manufacturing standard, and the same installation logic, which means your crew learns one system family deeply instead of skimming ten. Depth beats breadth on a jobsite every time.

Freight and delivery, coordinated to your calendar

A shade system is useless in a warehouse when the crew is on the jobsite, and it is a liability on the jobsite when the crew is somewhere else. Our wholesale logistics work around your schedule: configured units ship on tracked freight, production is sequenced to your install dates, and our team monitors shipments through delivery. When freight goes sideways, and freight sometimes goes sideways , we work the problem with you instead of forwarding you a carrier’s phone number. Full detail lives on our freight and delivery page, and the end-to-end ordering flow is covered in how ordering works.

Samples, displays, and selling tools

Shade is a touch-and-feel sale. The wholesale program includes display samples for showrooms and design centers plus fabric swatch sets for in-home consultations, with guidance on which displays actually convert. Customers who have watched a screen deploy silently on a Somfy motor, felt the weight of the fabric, and seen the cassette disappear when retracted buy with a certainty no spec sheet produces. We supply the tools; you close the customers.

Marketing support runs alongside: co-brandable collateral, product photography, and the sales playbook from a company that installs thousands of systems itself. See the broader program context on the wholesale hub.

Display samples: the showroom that sells itself

Walk into a showroom and you will understand in thirty seconds why the wholesale program treats display samples as a first-class product. A mounted motorized screen, deployed and retracted on a Somfy remote while the customer watches, does what no brochure, video, or spec sheet can do: it converts curiosity into intent. The customer hears how quiet the motor runs, feels the fabric, watches the cassette swallow the screen whole , and the sale is three-quarters closed before anyone talks about their patio.

The sample program covers full-size demonstration units for showrooms and design centers, plus fabric swatch sets your sales team carries to in-home consultations. We advise on placement, which openings to display, which fabrics to lead with, how to stage the demo so the customer presses the button themselves, because a display that nobody interacts with is furniture, and a display the customer operates is a salesperson that never takes a day off. Dealers consistently report that the showroom screen pays for itself in the first quarter; the only regret we ever hear is not installing it sooner.

Commercial and volume opportunities

Residential jobs are the backbone, but the commercial side of the wholesale program is where regional dealers separate themselves. Restaurants and breweries buy motorized screens by the opening to keep patios revenue-producing through wind and shoulder seasons. Hospitality properties, multifamily communities, and office campuses specify shade systems across dozens of openings at once, and they buy from the dealer who can show installed commercial work, coordinate phased freight, and back it all with a real warranty.

The wholesale program supports commercial quoting with configured multi-unit ordering, phased delivery scheduling, and technical review on every configuration before production. If your business already touches commercial property managers, general contractors, or hospitality groups, the screen line gives you a premium product to bring to those relationships, one your competitors sourcing from overseas listings simply cannot match on lead time or support.

Terms, minimums, and the honest fine print

Wholesale relationships fail on surprises, so here is the structure plainly. There are no container-load minimums and no forced stocking orders, you order job by job, configured to each customer’s measurements, and production schedules to your install calendar. Display samples and fabric swatch sets are handled as their own program, separate from customer orders, so outfitting your showroom does not compete with jobsite supply.

Warranty and service terms are spelled out before your first order, not discovered on your first claim: the 15-year warranty on awnings and power screens, the claim process, turnaround expectations on components, and how technical support reaches you on a jobsite. The goal is a supply relationship where the rules are known, the support is real, and the only surprises are the pleasant kind.

Why domestic wholesale wins the comparison

Put the overseas listing next to a domestic wholesale program and the comparison writes itself: container minimums versus job-by-job ordering, a warranty you enforce across an ocean versus a 15-year warranty backed by an American company, technical support on the other side of the planet versus installers who have mounted the product themselves. Freight from across the Pacific is cheap until a system arrives damaged and the reorder takes ten weeks.

There is also the story your customers buy. A veteran-owned, American-made product line answers the trust question at the quote table before it costs you the sale, and that story is included in every wholesale relationship at no extra charge.

Wholesale access starts with a conversation, not a price list. Submit the dealer inquiry with your business details and tell us what you install today, we will map the product lines to your work and lay out the supply relationship honestly.
