Retractable Screens
Don’t want to lock up for the night but are determined to keep pests out and loved ones in? Retractable screens might be what you’re looking for.
These screen live up to their name and retract into a small housing when not in use. When the screen is needed it is simply pulled back into position.
This provides a protective covering which keeps pests out and also secures the opening to keep babies and pets inside. There are retractable screens for windows and doors, as well as double doors. Customizable retractable screens are also available from some companies and can fit most any type of door including in-swings, out-swings, French, sliding patio, sliding glass, skylight, and screens for vehicles and boats. They can be customized for color and décor as well.
They provide a suitable but attractive barrier against insects. Furthermore, some have the capacity to reduce sunlight or black out light completely. Most retractable screens are weatherproof and can be installed on the inside or outside of the building.
Online companies allow you to specify the exact measurements that you need, ensuring it will be to your liking. Costs of materials are not expensive and can generally be delivered within a week. Many retractable screens though must be installed. This does not require a professional installer, merely someone who has some mechanical aptitude. Even if you lack mechanical skills, retractable screens do come with easy to follow instructions. Installation will require simple tools and should take about half an hour to install.
Quality units are contained in extruded aluminum housing, while lesser products are usually made of roll formed aluminum or plastic housing. Magnetic catches attach to the housing to better secure the closure; quality brands are full length whereas some lesser brands provide a magnetic catch at the top and bottom only. Most of these types of screens will come with a one-year warranty and some high quality brands will offer 2 years.
Finally, some companies offer customizable motorized retractable screens. While more expensive than typical screens, motorized screens are ideal for people who are disabled or simply want the maximum level of convenience. Motorized versions can be operated as a group or individually. Radio and infrared remote can also be added. Naturally these features cost extra and will increase the price.
This summer you can keep pests out and a cool breeze coming in, with only as much sunlight as you want. The convenience and safety of retractable screens make it nearly impossible to be satisfied with a regular screen door or window.
