All it takes to start to turn a beautiful day into an annoying one is a window screen that doesn’t work properly. You’ve seen them before: Bent on one side, which allows insects to invade your home; or, perhaps ripped along an edge due to a weather event or simple wear and tear.

And the same can be said for sliding patio door screens, which usually work well for a time but then experience problems that can render them inoperable.

One solution: Install Retractable Screens, which stay in place when you want them there, and which can be opened and closed with hardly a trace of wear for years on end.

Some of the benefits of retractable screens – particularly retractable screen doors, which we carry from Mirage Screen Systems — include the following:

All of the internal parts in a Mirage retractable screen system are treated at the factory with a durable form of grease that facilitates easy movement while also guarding against corrosive forces. The grease is temperature resistant.

The central shaft of a Mirage retractable screen is able to endure through hundreds of thousands of cycles without wearing out essential parts. And the guides that help the retractable screen move across its track are manufactured from an advanced form of plastic that holds up extremely well under use and is self-lubricating.

And that’s not just idle, inflated talk: Mirage puts their retractable screens through the paces – a quarter of a million openings and closings, in fact. This means that if you were to use the door roughly 10 times per day for an entire year, you’d likely get nearly 70 years of life out of it.

Mirage retractable screen doors also come with an option that permits the unit to close softly, which prevents a potentially damaging door slam (not to mention the disturbance of your peace and quiet). And the screen doors are also custom-fit to your door opening.

The name may say “mirage,” but the products themselves are as durable as they come. Contact us today to see if a Mirage retractable screen door system is a solid choice for your home!
