Choosing a Retractable Window Screen

Not all retractable window screens in the marketplace are alike. Its always best to do side-by-side comparisons of various product offerings. The Mirage retractable Screen has been built to last:

Its guides (plastic parts that guide the screen down the window) have been formed from a space aged material that is highly durable and contains its own lubricant, allowing it to slide smoothly with minimal wear for years to come.
Mirage’s internal moving parts have been treated with a long lasting, temperature resistant lubricant to allow smooth movement while preventing corrosion and annoying squeaks.
Its central shaft rotates in a silicon brass bushing allowing it to withstand hundreds of thousands of cycles without wearing of crucial parts.
To ensure that all these parts stand the test of time, Mirage routinely cycle tests its product up to 250,000 cycles. What does this mean in the real world? Based on you using your window 10 times per day, all year long, this would be the equivalent of almost 69 years of use.
Our goal has been to make the best quality product possible with the longest trouble free life available, and to deliver it to the consumer in an easy to use package that fits with the home's décor.

Window Screen Mesh

Mirage offers a number of screen mesh options made in the USA to our specifications by:

Standard Insect Screen is a high quality standard mesh for virtually any door
application. Available in Silver Grey and Charcoal.

Sunshades - Mirage window screens can also be used as a sunscreen. We use Phifer™ solar/insect screening materials in place of our regular Phifer™ window and door insect screen. This material removes 65% of the heat generating rays, while still keeping out insects and offering excellent outward visibility.

Please Note: Combinations of mesh fabric, fabric production lot, unit size, location and wind conditions may cause variations in the fabric's appearance and smoothness of extension and retraction of unit.
