Sunset Custom Blinds & Spas is your local Mirage retractable screen door dealer in Nelson, BC. We supply and install retractable screens for single entry doors, sliding glass doors, and French doors throughout the Kootenay region. Unlike traditional screen doors that block your view and swing in the way, retractable screens roll into a compact housing when not in use – you only see them when you need them.

Our Mirage retractable screens are built to last with aluminum construction, brass bushings, and a limited lifetime warranty on all components. Whether you’re looking to keep bugs out during our warm Kootenay summers or simply want fresh air without the hassle of a fixed screen, we have solutions for doors up to 9 feet tall and 10 feet wide.

Why Choose Retractable Screens

Retractable screen doors give you the best of both worlds, fresh air and insect protection when you want it, an unobstructed view when you don’t. They’re ideal for front entries where you want to show off your door, sliding patio doors where a traditional screen would block the view, and French doors where swinging screens would interfere with operation. Our Mirage screens feature smooth Teflon-infused guides, a Super Magnet latch system that’s 3x stronger than competitors, and colour options to match any home style.

FAQ

Retractable screen doors are insect screens that roll into compact housing. They are designed to not interfere with your regular door’s functionality, and you only see the retractable screen door when it is in use. The retractable screen extends from the housing and is held in place by a magnetic latch. The screen retracts with the help of a spring-loaded roller tube that is built into the units housing. The majority of homeowners prefer a retractable screen door over more traditional swinging screen doors as they do not obstruct the view.

Retractable screens provide many benefits, including keeping bugs out while allowing fresh air to circulate, reducing energy costs by blocking sunlight and heat, and providing an unobstructed view unlike a traditional fixed screen door.

Retractable screens can be installed on most types of doors, including entry doors, sliding glass doors, French doors, and more. Our retractable screens can be installed on doors that are 7-9 feet high, and up to 5 feet wide for a single door or 10 feet for double doors.
