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.

I've had slider Michele's Hide-Away Screens in my garage for about 10 years. I recently had them serviced and the technician replaced the top rollers. They are working smoothly again. Great job and great screens.

Jack from Michele's Hide-Away was a very professional, polite and personable arriving right on time. The tear on the lower corner of the screen wasn't easily repairable, but Jack was creative and tenacious, managing to repair the hole that's barely noticeable now. Thank you Jack for a job well done!

I was back my car up out of the garage and forgot to raise the screen first. Crash. Pushed the left side frame out. I called Michele’s hide away who I purchased from and they were out in a few days for repair, which was done by the technician expertly. This company really takes care of their customers. 5 star and great work ethic. Ver dependable! Thanks!!!

Very pleased with my experience with Michele’s Hideaway. The appointment to measure and give quote for garage screen door replacement was very professional and timely. Scheduling the date and time for installation was handled efficiently and very conveniently based on my schedule. I highly recommend this company if you are considering their type of products.
