logo_profile 00If you’re looking to buy garage screen doors, there is a variety of options available – sliding, retractable or roll-up. The final decision depends on which type will offer the best advantages for your circumstances.

The primary functions of garage screen doors are to keep bugs out, prevent dirt and dust from entering your home via the garage, and to allow fresh air in. Today, manufacturers offer screens with other features that go beyond these obvious ones. Let’s take a brief look at the 3 most common styles.

  • Sliding Screen Doors: These are very effective in keeping kids and pets inside because they can’t open the doors. This allows you to continue what you’re doing in the garage, or in another area of your home, without the fear of your children or pets going outside.
  • Retractable Screen Doors: These are a very popular choice because they are invisible when not in use.
  • Roll-Up Screen Doors: Also a popular choice these days because they can be rolled up when not in use and, like their retractable counterparts, you can choose motorized or manual operation.

Whatever your preference is, all modern screen doors have one thing in common – they incorporate technology that offers protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays.
