Understanding Retractable Screen Doors

Retractable screen doors, as the name suggests, retract when not in use, making them less noticeable. They offer protection and functionality to homes. Retractable screens are effective in keeping insects and other invaders out when doors are opened for ventilation. They are easy to install and can be used on any door. The screens are made of powder-coated aluminum, with a mesh of fiberglass or polyester. They include a screen insert, aluminum guide rails, a housing for the mesh, and a magnetic handle system.

Why Choose Our Retractable Screen Doors

Our retractable screen doors are top of the line, offering unique features that set them apart. The SmoothControl™ Plus Close System is 50% stronger than standard dual closers, ensuring a smoother close motion and a more consistent latch. The doors are pre-assembled for easy installation, requiring only basic tools and as little as 45 minutes. The one-hand retractable insect screen is designed for long-lasting smooth operation. These doors also offer double layer weatherstripping for a weathertight fit and reinforced metal corner brackets for durability.

Versatility and Adaptability

One of the standout features of our Retractable Screen Door is its versatility and adaptability. The Interchangeable Full View Storm Door, a popular choice among users, allows you to switch between a full view glass insert and an insect screen insert as per your needs. This flexibility in ventilation options is a major advantage. Furthermore, our new Quick-Change Release System in our Contemporary Deluxe Storm Doors has made the process of changing the insert hassle-free and time-efficient, enhancing the door's adaptability.

Customer Reviews and Feedback

A customer review highlights some issues with the screen doors. The user appreciated the innovative design that allows sliding of glass panes to unfurl a screen. However, they faced problems with the door not shutting tight and damage due to wind, which was not covered under warranty. The user also pointed out the use of aluminum instead of steel, indicating a compromise on quality. The absence of a component to prevent the door from swinging beyond the extension of the closer was another concern raised.

Comparing Our Brand with Other Brands

When it comes to door solutions, two types often come up: Retractable Screens and Storm Doors. Both offer unique benefits, but our Storm Doors stand out for their durability and versatility. They are a practical choice that can transition from summer to winter with ease. On the other hand, Retractable Screens are favored for their trouble-free use, especially in mild spring and fall months. So, whether you prefer the robustness of our Storm Doors or the convenience of Retractable Screens, both offer a set of perks that are hard to beat.

Cost and Value for Money

The cost of installing a retractable-screen storm door, such as our retractable screen door, ranges from $475 to $1,000, with the door alone costing between $300 to $650. These doors come with built-in retractable screens that roll up or down, conveniently concealed within the frame. While the initial investment may seem high, the value for money is evident in the door's functionality, durability, and the added aesthetic appeal it brings to your home.

In conclusion, our Retractable Screen Doors stand out for their unique features, durability, and versatility. Despite some customer concerns, their innovative design, ease of installation, and adaptability make them a worthy investment for homeowners.
