Retractable Screens in Concord CA

Types of Retractable Screens

There are several types of retractable screens to choose from depending on your needs and home configuration. Below are some of the most common retractable screen options available from Screen & Shade Solutions.

Single-panel Retractable Screens

A basic single-panel retractable screen is a great affordable option that rolls up neatly above or beside a door frame when open. It provides an easy way to let fresh air and sunshine in while keeping insects out. Single-panel retractable screens from Screen & Shade Solutions are available in aluminum or fiberglass and come pre-assembled for quick and easy installation.

Double-panel Retractable Screens

For enhanced privacy and insulation, a double-panel retractable screen uses two overlapping screens that retract together for a smoother operation. The double layer of screening material blocks out more light and sound for a more secluded outdoor space. Double-panel screens from Screen & Shade Solutions are perfect for homes looking for extra ventilation control and separation from the outdoors.

Motorized Retractable Screens

For ultimate convenience, a motorized retractable screen can be opened and closed with the push of a button no matter your location or ability level. High-performance motors ensure reliable operation year after year. Motorized retractable screens from Screen & Shade Solutions are simple to operate remotely via wired wall switch or wireless remote control. They're a thoughtful accessibility feature and effortless way to enjoy fresh outdoor air.

Benefits of Retractable Screens

There are many great reasons why an increasing number of Concord homeowners are choosing retractable screens for their doors and windows. Below are some of the top benefits:

Ventilation control - Retractable screening provides dedicated openings for natural airflow and fresh air circulation while still blocking pests and allergens from entering the indoor living space. This allows inhabitants to comfortably enjoy the outdoors from the safety and comfort of indoors.

Space savings - Retractable screens store neatly above, beside or within the door frame, presenting an unencumbered view when open. This prevents obstructions and maximize usable living space like a traditional hinged or sliding screen door would.

Durability - Heavy-duty aluminum or premium fiberglass materials are rustproof, impact resistant and designed to withstand exposure to sun, rain, wind and general wear and tear year-round. Properly maintained retractable screens can last for many years.

Low maintenance - Minimal moving parts mean fewer things to wear down or break compared to hinged doors and windows. Occasional gentle cleaning is usually all that's needed to keep the retractable screening looking its best.

Enhanced curb appeal - The unobstructed contemporary look of retractable screening blends seamlessly into any architectural style. Sleek and discreet, it doesn't detract from design or aesthetics like other screening options might.

Budget-friendly - While upfront costs may be comparable to standard screening, retractable screens save ongoing expenses like screen repairs or replacements and provide a lifespan of quality performance.

How Does a Retractable Screen Door Work?

A basic retractable screen door functions with a simple yet ingenious rolling mechanism. Aluminum tracks run vertically on each side of the door frame. The screening material itself is fitted onto aluminum side channels that glide smoothly up and down the tracks. Springs or a small retraction motor provide equal counterbalance so the screen can be effortlessly raised or lowered as desired. Limit switches at the top and bottom of the tracks prevent the screen from being fully extended or retracted. It's a brilliant space-saving solution that keeps insects out while letting the outdoors in.

Retractable Screen Maintenance and Care

To maximize the lifespan of any retractable screen, light periodic maintenance is important. Screen & Shade Solutions recommends the following basic care tips:

• Clean tracks and rollers monthly with a toothbrush and soapy water to prevent dirt buildup from impeding smooth movement. Rinse and dry well.
• Inspect screening material for holes, tears or discoloration a few times per year. Small problems caught early are easily patched for long lasting performance.
• Apply a lightweight lubricant like WD-40 sparingly to moving parts annually to promote frictionless operation through all seasons and conditions.
• Tighten any loose components as needed, but don't over-tighten which could damage parts or function over time.
• Ensure proper tensioning of springs, cables or motors through consistent full retraction and extension cycles to prolong balanced assistance.
