How retractable screens are better than traditional screen doors.

How retractable screens are better than traditional screen doors.

Growing up many houses had a screen door to let in fresh air and keep the bugs out. These doors were a huge blessing on hot nights and could help keep the entire house cool. Just like with everything technology improves on an already great idea and makes it better. So now we have a new and improve screen door in the form of a retractable screen.

Retractable screen doors have so many more advantages than traditional screen doors. Once you own one, you will never go back.

Retractable screens make your front door look better. When people see your home, your front door is the first thing they notice. Why hide your beautiful front door with an ugly screen door? Retractable screens disappear when not in use and pull out when you need them, so they are never coving your front door if you don't want them to.

Just one door to open. It can get very troublesome to try to get in the front door carrying groceries, kids or anything else. Traditional screen doors make it harder because you have to hold it open while going through. Retractable screens disappear when you don't need them so they will never get in your way!

You can see out, but they can't see in. When using a retractable screen, you can see outside, but your neighbors can't see in. So you can enjoy privacy and fresh air. There is also no big metal plate on the bottom, so nothing gets in the way of bringing in the breeze.

Truly free-flowing breeze. There is no grill work, kick plate, or panels preventing airflow, a retractable screen lets in more fresh air. Why let big pieces of metal get in the way of enjoying the cool breeze?

It lasts longer. Retractable screens are made of fabric that rolls up and stays protected in its housing off to the side of your door when not in use, which means it lasts much longer. Traditional screen doors are left out in the elements 24/7 with no protection from the sun, wind, rain, and critters. The result is that retractable screens have a much longer life!

You can watch these incredible retractable screens in action at our showroom in Ocala. Contact Michele's Hide-Away Screens & Awnings for more information.

We are extremely pleased with our new screen installation! The installers were professional, courteous & did an excellent job from start to finish. They arrived on time, worked efficiently and paid attention to detail. The screen looks beautiful, operate perfectly & was installed with care.

A well made product installed by professionals. We've had ours over ten years without any problems. The rollers are mounted on top of the sliding door, instead of the unit riding on the rollers. This way, the rollers never get dirty. Had to have two of the doors repaired due to my negligence. Repair technician was very professional and answered all of my questions. I would recommend them to anyone interested in having garage door screening installed.

We went to Michele’s Hideaway Screens and Awnings with the intention of asking detailed questions about the product, installation, warranty, pricing, company background, privacy options, security, and weather durability. When we arrived, we spoke with Mick, who sat with us and answered every question thoroughly. He showed us samples of the screens, demonstrated how they operate, and explained what they would look like once installed. He also provided a clear timeframe for when the screen would be available. Because we could see the quality of the products firsthand — along with the professionalism and customer service in how our questions were handled — we decided to move forward and placed an order for the Super Screen, which allows for a bit more airflow into the garage. Our order was placed on June 25th, and installation was completed on July 31st, exactly within the timeframe they had given us. Bob arrived on time and took great care with the installation, doing an excellent job. He left the area clean and took the time to explain how to properly maintain the screen. Overall, the experience from start to finish was smooth, professional, and reassuring. We are very pleased with both the product and the service we received.

What a great experience! From the initial assessment to the installation, the experience was perfect. We are a little outside their normal service area, but they made an exception and I’m very thankful. Everyone was very friendly, helpful and kept me updated on the installation. I love my new retractable screens on my garage.
