Security Screens

Sliding Screen Doors

Sliding screen doors are a type of door commonly used as a secondary barrier for sliding glass doors or large window openings. They are designed to slide horizontally along a track and are typically installed on the exterior of the main door or window. We custom cut and build them to fit your door properly. We can usually get these installed on our first initial scheduled appointment if you let us know before we come to your home or business. Here are some key features and benefits of sliding screen doors:

  1. Insect Protection: Sliding screen doors act as a barrier against insects such as mosquitoes, flies, and bees, preventing them from entering the interior of a building while doors are open. This helps maintain a comfortable and bug-free indoor environment.

  2. Ventilation: Despite their insect protection features, sliding screen doors allow fresh air to flow into the building, helping to improve indoor air quality and comfort. This is particularly beneficial during warmer months when natural ventilation is desired.

  3. Natural Light: Sliding screen doors allow natural light to enter the building, brightening the indoor space and reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.

  4. Visibility: The mesh screen of sliding screen doors allows occupants to see outside while still providing a level of privacy. This visibility can help occupants monitor their surroundings and identify visitors before opening the door.

  5. Space-Saving Design: Sliding screen doors slide horizontally along a track, making them an ideal choice for areas with limited space where a swinging door may not be practical. This design also allows for easy access to the main door or window.

  6. Enhanced Security: Some sliding screen doors are equipped with locks or security features to provide an additional layer of security to the home while allowing for ventilation. They can also act as a deterrent against intruders.

  7. Aesthetics: Sliding screen doors come in various styles, colors, and designs to complement the exterior of the home and match the existing doors and architectural features.

  8. Durability: High-quality sliding screen doors are typically made from durable materials such as extruded aluminum frame/handle, metal wheels,  and a fiberglass mesh, ensuring long-term performance and resistance to wear and tear.

Sliding screen doors offer a range of benefits including insect protection, ventilation, natural light, privacy, enhanced security, space-saving design, and aesthetic appeal, making them a popular addition to residential buildings with sliding glass doors or large window openings.
