Make it a Mirage

Mirage offers several mesh options depending on your needs. Standard insect mesh handles everyday bug protection and airflow, solar mesh reduces glare and heat gain while still maintaining visibility, and pet-resistant mesh is available for households where durability is a priority. Each mesh type is selected based on the balance you want between visibility, airflow, and protection.

With proper use and basic maintenance, a quality Mirage retractable screen will last many years. Because the screen retracts into a protective housing when not in use, the materials are shielded from UV degradation, wind stress, and physical damage that quickly deteriorates traditional fixed screens. The lifespan depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions, but these are built to go the distance.

Yes, in a meaningful way. By allowing you to open windows and doors for natural ventilation, retractable screens reduce your dependence on air conditioning during mild weather. If you opt for solar mesh, you also cut down on heat gain from direct sun exposure. Less mechanical cooling means lower energy bills, and that adds up over time.

Mirage screens are professionally installed by trained dealers. The housing and track system is mounted directly to your door frame, window frame, or surrounding structure. Installation is precise, as proper alignment and tensioning are critical to smooth operation, which is why professional installation is the standard. Most installations are completed in a single visit.

Yes. Mirage screens are made to measure, not cut down from a stock size. Every system is sized to your specific opening dimensions, which allows it to work cleanly with standard doors, oversized entryways, and everything in between. Custom sizing is the default, not an upgrade.

Very. Once installed correctly, a Mirage screen should glide smoothly with minimal effort. Single door screens operate with one hand. Wider systems may use a handle or pull cord, and motorized options are available for large openings where manual operation would be cumbersome. If a screen feels stiff or difficult to operate, that’s a sign that something needs adjustment. It should never require force.

Yes, and this is one of the most common scenarios. Mirage screens are regularly installed on existing homes, patios, and commercial spaces with no new construction required. As long as there’s a sound surface to mount to, installation is straightforward. Your installer will assess the framing and recommend the right mounting approach for your specific opening.

Yes. Mirage offers a range of frame colors and finishes so the housing and tracks integrate with your existing architecture rather than standing out from it. Whether you’re matching white trim, dark bronze frames, or natural wood tones, there’s an option that fits. Your dealer can walk you through what’s available for your specific product line.

Mirage stands behind their products with manufacturer warranties covering defects in materials and workmanship. Specific warranty terms vary by product line, so it’s worth confirming the details with your dealer at the time of purchase. Keep your installation paperwork, as warranty claims are much smoother when you have documentation of your purchase and install date.
