Benefits of Retractable Screens For Garage Doors
- Protection: Retractable screens for garage doors offer protection from insects, sun, and privacy. Garage door screens can keep the dust and debris out of your space, protecting any vehicles, storage space, workout equipment, or technology in the room. A screen also protects from seasonal debris such as pollen and leaves. Pesky bugs are getting in the way of your space, but you want to keep the door open? Screens will help with just that. Even tiny insects won’t get in.
- Customized Fit For Garage Doors: Finding the right fit for your garage door is important. That’s why all our retractable screens are customized to fit your opening.

- Energy Saving: Save on your electrical bills by having screens that bring the fresh air in without having to use air conditioning. You can also sit outside on your patio or porch for fresh air and have the motorized screen shade you from the sun.
- Additional Space: Extend your living space into the garage instead of just using it for your vehicles or storage. Why not use it for a home office, workspace, rec room, or gym? With fresh air and sunlight, extra touches like flooring and decor will go a long way to transform the space.
- Provides Natural Light: Keep the garage door open and drop down your screen for natural light in a space that could otherwise feel dark. Depending on the type of mesh you choose, the screen fabric can be opaque or more transparent. The more transparent the screen, the more natural light you get!
