Replacement Screens For Porch Doors and Windows

If you have a traditional screen door, you may want to replace it with a more durable, long-lasting screen like a retractable screen. You can get your porch doors or windows replaced with a Mirage retractable screen door that will fit seamlessly in that opening.

If you want to switch from a traditional screen door, a retractable screen or large opening retractable screen would be the best fit, depending on the size of your opening. If it is an opening larger than 64” tall and 108” wide, then you would opt for the 3500 large opening screen. This can be installed as a regular retractable screen or a French door retractable screen. Having the replacement means a more durable and sturdy screen that can withstand your day-to-day activity.

Factors that Affect the Cost of Retractable Screens for Patios

Size of the Patio

When it comes to price, the size and shape of your retractable screens play a crucial role. The bigger and more intricate the shape, the more expensive your retractable screens will be as larger, more custom options will require more materials and installation time.

Type of Retractable Screen

With motorized options, convenience takes the spotlight as they magically roll down with a click of a button. Our motors are powered by Somfy, the industry leader in Smart Home products. With it, you can control your motorized retractable screens using either a Somfy remote or the Smart Home app on your phone. This provides you with a convenient and easy way to operate your screens, allowing you to adjust them with just the touch of a button or a swipe on your smartphone. On the other hand, you can effortlessly extend and retract manual retractable screens on your own – and you’ll enjoy easy maintenance and a lighter initial investment.

Material of the Screen

When constructing your retractable patio screen, the frame material and style significantly affect cost. It’s no secret that higher-quality materials mean a higher price tag, but you can count on getting a longer-lasting product that will go the distance. The fabric and mesh on your screen are other aspects of the cost. A good screen has a UV coating to help block sunlight and is very high quality so as not to rip during daily wear and tear. Mirage offers a range of fabrics that are of good quality and suitable for different purposes. For our motorized screens, we have insect control, sun control, privacy, blackout, and vinyl fabrics.
