Enjoy The Benefits of a Motorized Retractable Screen
Motorized Retractable Screens help extend the amount of time we spend in our outdoor living environments. They not only block the sun’s harsh rays and reduce solar heat gain, but help protect against unwanted pests, ensure privacy, and promote cooling breezes. They are especially attractive on patio enclosures, balconies, and breezeways; while being equally as valuable when used with sliding glass walls and for garage door openings.

Retractable Screens FAQs
Retractable screens are a versatile window screening solution that provides ventilation while keeping insects out. If you’re considering installing retractable screens but still have some questions, this blog post aims to answer your top FAQs.
What Are Retractable Screens Used For?
Retractable screens have two main purposes – ventilation and insect control. They allow you to open your windows for fresh air flow while keeping bugs out of your home. This makes retractable screens a popular choice for:
- Windows – Install retractable screens on any windows you want to open for cross-breezes but still need to be screened.
- Doors – Both sliding glass doors and standard entry doors can have retractable screens installed.
- Sunrooms – A screened sunroom lets you enjoy the outdoors without unwelcome visitors flying in.
- Patios – Outdoor patio retractable screens give you bug-free al fresco dining or lounging.
Retractable screens are especially nice for doors that see frequent traffic. No more awkward carrying or jugging screen doors to get in and out. Simply press a button to roll the screen up top when you want to come in or go out. Some modern retractable screen systems even integrate sensors, so the screen automatically retracts when someone approaches the door, making entry effortless.
What Bugs Do Retractable Screens Keep Out?
- Flies – Houseflies, horseflies, deerflies and more can’t penetrate the tight mesh.
- Mosquitoes – Tighter woven mesh blocks even small biting insects trying to enter your space.
- Gnats/midges – Swarms of these tiny fly-like bugs can’t get through screening.
- Wasps/bees – The mesh is too small for stinging insects to pass through.
- Spiders – All sizes of spiders searching for a home won’t be able to infiltrate screened areas.
- Ants – While individual ants may fit, the screens block them from forming trails inside.
Do Retractable Screens Affect Views or Light?
High-quality retractable screens are virtually invisible when retracted, so they don’t obstruct views at all. In fact, some insect screens even help filter UV rays for added sun protection. You’ll hardly notice the screens are there unless you need to extend them for ventilation and protection.
Are Retractable Screens Easy to Use?
Operating a retractable screen is simple and user-friendly. Most models have a convenient crank or switch that extends or retracts the screen with just a turn or push of a button. Opt for a motorized option if you have multiple screens or limited mobility. Installation is also quick and hassle-free for our professional installers. After installation, screens roll out and retract smoothly with minimal effort on your part.
How Much Do Retractable Screens Typically Cost?
Average retail costs for a professionally installed retractable screen range from $250-$600, depending on the window size and features. Some factors that influence the price include:
- Material (fibreglass or aluminum) – Aluminum is more affordable, but fibreglass provides better views.
- Frame type (slimmest or fully welded) – Slimmer frames are less expensive.
- Power (manual crank or motorized) – Manual operation is the cheapest, but motors add to the cost.
- Additional features (retract into jamb or casement) – More customized options increase the price.
- Quantity (single screen or multiple)- Individual screens are priced higher than bundling installs together.

Are There Maintenance Requirements for Retractable Screens?
Proper care and occasional maintenance keep retractable screens in top working condition. The main things to do include:
- Retract fully when not in use to prevent damage or debris buildup.
- Use a soft brush to remove dust or dirt from the screen mesh periodically.
- Check tracks and rollers twice a year for buildup or obstructions and clean as needed.
- Inspect mesh and look for holes – small tears can be repaired before they enlarge.
- Lubricate moving parts sparingly with powdered graphite or lubricant specifically for screens and doors.
Following basic care tips helps ensure long-lasting performance from your retractable screens year after year.
