Price and Quality

• When shopping for a retractable screen, late fall and the winter months are the best time to make your purchase as companies will be more willing to to drop the price since its off season.  At the height of the season a typical single entry door retractable screen would be anywhere from $350 to $500 (installed) depending on the options that are chosen and if any extra adapters are required for the screen to be installed on the door.
• Visiting home shows or a showroom would be a great place to evaluate competing products.  A retractable screen display unit allows you to operate the screen and feel its quality.  Make sure the screen is study enough to withstand the amount of use you are going to place on it.

Features

• A Powder coated retractable screen system will provide the best protection against the outdoor elements.  Other paint options are available on the market but do not offer the same longevity and UV fading protection.
• Speed reducer systems are a popular feature amongst home owners today.  The speed reducer slows the rate of speed at which the screen retracts back into the housing.  This feature can be useful and kids or pets are present.  The only known downside to speed reducers is that it can cause premature fraying of the screen mesh.

Screen Mesh

• The screen mesh in a retractable screen is one of the most important components of the screen.  Most manufacturers use a 18*14 charcoal fiberglass mesh which provides the best visibility and  UV filtration.  If small insect are a problem then consider the No See Um screen mesh which features small holes in the mesh to prevent the tiniest of bugs to get through.   A popular mesh option amongst pet owners would be Pet Mesh.  This PVC coated fiberglass mesh provides the best screen protection form your pets claws.  You should always ask the screen representative to show you samples of the screen mesh to determine which option is best for you.

Installation

• Retractable screens are best performed when they are installed by a professional installer from trained from the screen manufacturer. Retractable screens can be mounted againts the exterior door brickmould trim or inside the jamb.  Make sure the installer explains the different installation options to you so you can decide which will be the best one for you.
• Retractable screens require a track to be mounted at the top and bottom. Ensure that the tracks do not interfere when entering and exiting the doorway.  Ask the installer to show you where the tracks will be mounted.  The more reputable manufacturers offer several sill adapters that are mounted on the sill to better accommodate the bottom track.
• Ask if you’ll be getting a lifetime warranty that covers finishes and components.
• Ask the installer what maintenance would be required for the screen.

Interior Environments Are Enhanced By Installing retractable Screen Systems.

There are a number of factors analyzed during the LEED certification of a project that contribute to the quality of the interior environment. Several can be improved through the use of Invisible Screens’ Products:

INCREASED VENTILATION: The proper use of retractable screens can reduce or eliminate the need for air conditioning during warm days, allowing for the specification of opening windows in the building’s design to increase natural air ventilation.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY: All aluminum extrusions are powder-coated. There are no solvents, fumes or volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) involved in this process. The powder is non-toxic and 99% of overspray and unused powder can be collected and recycled.

DAYLIGHT AND VIEWS: Invisible Screens’ complete product line by design can be extended to block unwanted sunlight and solar gain through windows and doors opening without blocking views and allowing a higher ratio of glass to opaque building materials in projects without creating inherent light and cooling management problems.

Retractable Screens with Solar Black mesh reduce Thermal Heat Gain & Increase Energy Performance.  This product can reduce solar gain up to 90% – by stopping the sun’s rays from ever touching the glass. This is far superior to simply using thermal-pane glass and/or window tints and coatings.

Creating natural ventilation and reducing heat flow through screen systems throughout the house. Retractable Screens can stop the sun from hitting the glass – the very best solution to stop unwanted solar gain through windows and retract away, virtually disappearing when they are not in use.

Cross-ventilation occurs when you open a door or window on each side of the house and the air pressure pulls the fresh air in and the stale air out. To optimize cross-ventilation, close the retractable screens on both sides on the house, and let nature take care of the rest.

Who doesn’t enjoy being outside in the sunshine? And who doesn’t allow enjoying the comforts of being inside at the same time? With a retractable screen installed on a patio or large doorway or garage within your home, you can have all the amenities of both indoor and outdoor living. Here are some of the top reasons for adding a retractable screen by Invisible Screens Canada to your home this summer.

The existence of bugs is one of the top reasons for adding screens to any living space. Bugs of any kind can be annoying. Especially when you are trying to relax and enjoy the light breeze and a bit of sunshine. With the addition of retractable screens, bugs can stay outside, while you continue to enjoy that breeze and sunshine within an enclosed area.  No more bug bites or buzzing in your ear to ruin an afternoon nap! Another reason for simple screens can be that any screen door can be loud and clunky when being opened and closed time and time again.

That unsightly storm door can also detract for the beauty of a set of french doors or an elegant doors on the main entrance of a home. The screens don’t have to attract attention like a storm door will, either by sight or sound. Installing screens that retract into a small recess in the door frame allows a home owner to enjoy the beauty of those elegant doors, but also the accessibility to a breeze in the summer months without all the noise of creaking springs and crashing metal.

Create a new living space with the addition of retractable screens to any outdoor patio, Gazebo, or porch . This newly created space can add to the attraction and resale value of any home with a potential buyer. This space also offers more versatility with entertaining and other recreational activities.

Retractable screens not only keep the outside annoyances out, but allows the beauty of the outside in, without inviting those critters in. They are designed for an elegant and streamline look to fit any home need, while being virtually invisible by any guest when stowed.

Make retractable screens a part of your outdoor and indoor living space!
