Are retractable screens just as good as regular screen doors?

Are retractable screens just as good as regular screen doors?

Retractable screens are not just as good as regular screen doors... they’re much, much better. Especially one from Michele’s Hide-Away Screens & Awnings, Central Florida’s leader in innovative screen solutions!

With so many advantages over a traditional swinging screen door, once you own a retractable screen, you’ll likely never go back.

Retractable screens avoid DISTRACTING by RETRACTING

Your front door is the first thing anyone notices when they approach your home. So, why would you want your beautiful front door covered up with a traditional screen door? Retractable screens disappear and blend into the background while not in use, so you can have the aesthetically pleasing best of both worlds.

Never needing to open two doors as you come and go

How aggravating is it navigating through two doors while trying to carry in groceries, baby carriers, and kids? With a retractable screen that disappears, there’s one less thing in your way as you rush through your day. Go in and out in a snap and enjoy the breeze when you’re finally able to relax!

Invisible Visibility

Sure, the “invisible when not in use” aspect is one of the best things about a retractable screen. But, did you know that even when in use, your view is crystal clear through practically invisible bug screen fabric? Unlike a traditional screen door, you’ll enjoy privacy from the inside with no distracting or busy screen designs or kick plates inhibiting your view.

Truly free flowing breeze

Because there is no grill work, kick plate, or panels inhibiting airflow, a retractable screen lets you fully enjoy the free flowing breeze you’d feel as though there were nothing there at all. Why only get half the breeze on a beautiful day, when you can enjoy breathing the free flowing air through your retractable screen.

Longer Life

Because the screen fabric is rolled up and protected in its housing off to the side of your door when not in use, it lasts much longer. Unlike traditional swinging screen doors, your screen fabric is protected from permanent exposure to your kids, pets, and weather. The result? A longer lasting screen!

The technician was on time and upbeat and efficient and quick and honest. He suspected that replacement parts might be needed. He determined that they weren’t and said so. I will definitely call them whenever needed.

Needed a repair on our garage door screen. As in the past, Michele’s was easy to make appointment, arrived on time, repair completed well, and priced very fairly. Highly recommend contacting them if you need a new screen or a repair.

Three easy steps.1) Call set up appointment for them to come measure.2) wait a few weeks for your screen to be made. 3) Make apt. for them to install. An absolutely beautiful job.

We highly recommend Michele’s Hide-Away Screens. Back in 2024 we had their garage screens installed. We were very pleased with the work. Now in 2026 we called for a service on the doors. Again, the communication with the office staff and the service performed by their technician, Jack, was excellent. We definitely would recommend this company for your screening needs.

This company is awesome. They had a service man here to fix my screen that came off the track. Very professional and nice. Fixed the screen and also sprayed the track for me.

From start to finish the people were amazing. Bob installed my motorized screen today and changed our garage space from a garage to a hang out space with screen. I recommend Michele's screen to everyone

We love our new screen doors on our garage. The installer was very professional. Thank you for a wonderful product. Our old garage screen slider doors had the rollers on the bottom. We love the rollers on the top they open and close very easily and won’t get dirty like the old ones.

What a great company! Our garage door screen separated on one side and we got an appointment for between noon and 2 PM today. At the stroke of 12, Bob arrives! He spent nearly an hour, cleaning all the rails, fixing a squeak and reattaching the side (it's basically a zipper but the frame needed to be removed to get to the ends). Very happy with his work. Update: so here it is, 3 years after our initial installation and one of our remotes went belly-up. After calling the company, we got an appointment for a few days later. Jack came to our house at the appointed time and performed some magic (aka, reprogrammed the remote) and within 10 minutes, all was right with the world! And under warranty, so no charge! Great company!
