Screen Door Solutions You Didn't Know Existed

Many people are not fully aware of just how many types of screen doors there are. When you picture a screen doo, it's likely that you picture either a sliding screen door or a hinged screen door. It's also likely that you may not want to opt for either of those options. 

A sliding screen door can be cumbersome, and are not conducive to all openings. Hinged doors work for more openings, but can be noisy and will obstruct your door. 

Screens For Your Front Door

If you've ever wanted to open your front door for fresh air, you understand how tricky it can be. A hinged screen door can ruin your curb appeal, and can disturb the occupants of the home as it slams closed. Even worse, not having a screen at all can let bugs in. 

The Solution: Retractable Screen Door

A retractable screen door is the screen door might be just what you need. It allows you to have a screen door when you need it, then it retracts out-of-sight into a protective cassette. The frame of the retractable screen door can be customized to blend in with your home’s architecture.

Keep In Mind . . .

Retractable screen doors can not act as barriers to keep pets and small children inside as the screen isn’t fixed within a panel. We suggest placing a child gate in front of your door if this is an issue to make sure small children and pets stay within your home.

Choosing Your Retractable Screen Door: How Custom Do You Need?

If you want the ability to fully customize your retractable screen door, shop the Genius® Milano 100 - Single Retractable Screen Door. It will be made-to-size and we can offer custom frame colors, as well as other customizations. However, if you are looking for economy, the Genius® COOL Retractable Screen Door For Single Door may be the best option. It still offers frame color choices but the options are limited to those options provided.

Retractable Screen Door for French Doors

French doors, also called double doors, are a romantic addition to any home. However, not being able to open your doors during the warmer months of the year without letting in bugs and other pests may have you feeling less excited about this architectural upgrade. You may be asking, “Can a French door have a screen?”

How Do You Put a Screen in a French Door?

The answer is yes you can! The solution is to install retractable screen doors for French doors. They offer screen protection when you need it and then retract out-of-sight when you no longer wish to use them. Like the single retractable screen doors, retractable double screen doors can be “hidden” with custom frame colors so they do not affect the curb appeal of your home.

Our double retractable screen doors can be fully customized when you shop the Milano 200. The COOL retractable double screen doors offer an affordable option with less customizations.
