Roll Up Screen Door


Any type of screen makes it possible to open doors in warm weather and bring in the fresh cool air without having to worry about letting in insects. Traditional hinged screen doors do the job but have many draw backs: they are always there, even when not needed, so you have to look at the outside world through a screen year 'round. They are also unattractive and often not in keeping with architectural or design intentions. In addition, they are difficult to use when your hands are full and you need to unlock the door. Because they are always there, they are susceptible to damage and once the screen fabric is pushed out of the frame it, or the entire door, must be replaced.

Roll up, or retractable screen doors, offer the same protection from unwanted pests but eliminate many of the problems associated with traditional screens. If you come home with an armful of groceries you will not have to wrestle with the screen door while you unlock the house because the screen will be stored in its housing. Whether the screen is in use or not you will hardly notice the small aluminum frame of the roll up screen. If you accidentally run into it most often there will be no damage.
