Retractable Screens in Toronto

The most notable characteristic of retractable screen doors besides completely blocking all flying insects, are their compactness that make them virtually invisible even when in use, and especially when rolled up out of the way. This modern way of screening openings such as single and double (French) doorways enhances the decor of every home rather than detract from it. Compared to unattractive storm doors or cumbersome wood frame screen doors, retractable screens provide an elegant addition to modern homes – helping preserve the original look of entrance doorways. A wide range of standard and custom color frames make retractable screen doors an easy choice for the discerning homeowner and designer alike. These sleek screening units also bring in a much larger quantity of fresh air, light and oxygen into the home - up to 300% more - compared to fixed frame screen doors, that allow only partial airflow due to their support bars, closing mechanisms and glass panes. Retractable screens are versatile, effective and of low maintenance with only periodic vacuuming and wiping down of the tracks being necessary. Most top quality retractable screen systems come with a limited lifetime warranty from their respective manufacturers.

Motorized retractable awnings are definitely the preferred choice when a homeowner is looking for a practical modern solution to shade a balcony patio area or sundeck without the need to consider the construction of a permanent shelter. Since power awnings are controlled by a handheld  or wall mounted remote control, it is especially convenient for elderly or handicapped homeowners to operate since there is no need to go outside or even open a door to open or close the awning in sunny, rainy or windy weather. High quality motorized retractable awnings come equipped with a wind sensor that will automatically roll up the awning to protect the unit and its fabric even when gusty winds from stormy or adverse weather. This add-on feature to the homeowners’ Retractable awning investment gives peace of mind, by ensuring years of trouble free use, while reducing possible maintenance costs in the future. Manually operated retractable awnings are also still quite popular, but they require the homeowner to go outside each time and rotate the crank with both hands to extend it or retract it every time. This may be less convenient as the awning would have to be retracted from the outside in the hot sun or in the rain. Nevertheless, both manual or motorized high quality awnings are valuable assets to any home environment.

Since roller screens on patio glass doorways often fall off their tracks, many homeowners find that this issue is completely eliminated when a retractable screen is fitted to their sliding glass doorway. This is because a retractable screen system does not use wheels at the top and bottom of the opening but has its own independent track and retraction system that keeps the screen door’s slide bar securely in place at all times. There are no plastic nor steel wheel systems that can break or rust. Top quality retractable screen systems even use stainless steel fasteners throughout the assembly process to ensure many years of trouble free use. Retractable screens are fitted on sliding glass patio doorways without too much problem by a professional installer. The retractable screen is always positioned on the middle fixed window frame panel with top and bottom tracks installed towards the locking handleside. A rare earth magnet will keep the retractable screen door closed when pulled over to the handle side of the opening. When the homeowner wants to close their sliding glass door, the retractable screen must be detached from the magnet and allowed to slide towards the middle of the sliding glass door opening which keeps the screen mesh out of sight and protected from any possible damage when not in use. One of the major advantages of a retractable screen mounted a sliding glass door is that it allows 100% of natural light to enter the home all year long when rolled up. This is especially important in Canada and in northern states when shorter winter days provide lower amounts of sunlight. Unobstructed views are quite satisfying on a beautiful sunny day!
