Let the fresh air in without all the flies and bugs. A retractable screen door is a great option that lets you enjoy the sunshine and breeze without annoying interruptions.
These doors are easy to install and come in different sizes for your home’s windows and doors. Look for one that is customizable and has a good warranty.
Durability
Retractable screen doors keep flies, mosquitoes, and bugs out of your home while letting in a cool breeze. They can also add a modern touch to any home. These doors are very easy to install and will last for years. They are available in various sizes and can be modified to fit any doorway or window opening.
Most conventional screens are left out all the time, which means they collect a lot of dust, cobwebs, and debris. But a retractable screen door stays hidden when not in use, so it doesn’t collect any dirt and stays cleaner for longer.
Breathing fresh air is a great way to improve your health and well-being. But conventional storm doors don’t let much fresh air through, which is why a retractable screen door is an excellent upgrade for your home. Retractable screen doors are easy to install and can be customized to match your decor. They are also long-lasting and come with a warranty.
Customization
When you choose a retractable screen door, you have several options for customization. You can choose the tightness of the mesh and colors for the frame. You can also choose a color to match your existing window and doors or one that complements it. You can even choose a wood grain to create a custom look.
Retractable screens are designed to fit almost any household door opening, including in-swinging single doorways, double French doors and sliding patio doorways. Their lightweight aluminum housing protects the screen material when not in use, and can be matched to any exterior or interior woodwork.
Look for a screen that retracts smoothly into its casing, rather than jerking back. You want a system that is easy to operate and doesn’t interfere with your view or limit the use of your home. Also, consider a screen that can be customized with an Auto-Latch mechanical latch or positive secondary lock to keep your kids and pets safe from accidental closing.
Energy Efficiency
In an era when Zika and West Nile Virus are rampant, many homeowners are looking for ways to let the fresh breeze into their homes without opening up bugs, dust and debris. In addition, some are interested in improving energy efficiency by allowing for natural cooling that reduces the need for air conditioning.
Retractable screen doors provide these improvements, and much more. They can be fitted to nearly any door or large opening and are customizable in size, mesh color, track and guide system and latching options. When not in use, they conveniently retract into the housing unit to blend seamlessly with the door frame and home aesthetic.
These screens are also more durable than sliding screen doors. Sliding doors are more exposed to the elements and are prone to rips, tears and holes. Retractable screen doors stay tucked away when not in use and offer more protection from wind, rain and snow. They are also available in six different frame finishes to complement any home.
Security
The air in your home can have a huge impact on your overall health. It can aggravate allergies and other respiratory conditions and stale indoor air exacerbates these issues. Getting fresh air moving through your home is essential and a retractable screen door is the quickest, easiest way to do so.
Retractable screens are available in a wide range of sizes to fit standard and oversized doors. Custom-sized retractable screens are also an option for specialty openings like french doors and egress windows.
Retractable screen doors do have some drawbacks. Most of these are related to their design. For example, the track and housing that the screens slide into can create a trip hazard for family members and guests which can result in injuries from minor to severe. In addition, the screen doors can be manipulated to open and close with ease and could potentially give burglars access to your home. Fortunately, these issues are easily remedied by choosing an improved model.
