The Convenience of Retractable Screen Doors
A traditional screen door comes in handy when you want to cool down your house or just let in some fresh air without having to deal with insects coming inside. It can become a nuisance when you are not using it for those purposes, however, as it gets in the way every time you enter or exit your house, and it can also be quite noisy. Fortunately, you don’t have to sacrifice having a screen door in exchange for convenience – you can install a retractable screen door, which allows you to have both!
Retractable screen doors, also known as disappearing screen doors, are becoming quite common in new homes. They operate using a technology similar to roll up window blinds. They roll neatly away in an unobtrusive roll beside the door frame when you are not using them, but can easily be unrolled at any time when you are ready to use them.
Retractable screen doors are easy to operate and are available for any door type, including single doors, double doors, sliding doors, double sliding doors, and large-openings. You can have the doors open sideways, which is the standard option, or up and down.
Many manufacturers offer retractable screen doors, offering a wide variety of options for you as the consumer. Screen door companies often emphasize the importance of slow retraction speeds in order to prevent the screen from slamming shut. Even then, however, if the brake fails, the door will still slam. That’s why many companies now offer screens that do not require a braking mechanism; instead, the screen speed is completely adjustable as a way to avoid having to use the brake.
