Description
Retractable or 'disappearing' screen doors operate on a similar principal to spring-loaded window shades. They usually retract to one or both sides, depending on the number of doors or the opening's width. They have flexible fiberglass screen mesh that rolls together, and can be custom fit for most openings. When the screen is not in use it retracts into its protective housing or a wall pocket to blend into the décor of the home. Retractable screens have different screen mesh options to choose from to custom your screen. There is standard insect screening, solar screening that allows for optimal UV protection and pet screening that are tear and rip resistant.
Retractable screen doors can be mounted to "pull down" from an overhead pocket for large openings and 'disappearing' window wall doors. Retractable screens can operate manually or motorized. Operation of motorized screens can be controlled with hand held TV remotes, wall switches or with motion detection sensors. Motorized screens are ideal for handicap accessed areas for wheelchairs or scooters. Motorized screens allow for partial opening or closing for tall openings. This allows people and pets to enter and exit while keeping higher flying insects out.
Retractable screen doors can be installed on:
- Hinged doors - glass or solid
- French doors
- Single exterior doors
- In or Out swinging doors
- Sliding doors - glass or solid
- Sliding glass doors
- Pocket doors
- Shōji doors

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
“He hath achieved a maid
That paragons description and wild fame;
One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
