Retractable Screen System Details

Choosing a Retractable Screen Door

Not all retractable screen doors in the marketplace are alike. Its always best to do side-by-side comparisons of various product offerings. The Mirage retractable Screen has been built to last:

• Its guides (plastic parts that guide the screen across the door) have been formed from a space aged material that is highly durable and contains its own lubricant, allowing it to slide smoothly with minimal wear for years to come.
• Mirage’s internal moving parts have been treated with a long lasting, temperature resistant lubricant to allow smooth movement while preventing corrosion and annoying squeaks.
• Its central shaft rotates in a silicon brass bushing allowing it to withstand hundreds of thousands of cycles without wearing of crucial parts.
• To ensure that all these parts stand the test of time, Mirage routinely cycle tests its product up to 250,000 cycles. What does this mean in the real world? Based on you using your door 10 times per day, all year long, this would be the equivalent of almost 69 years of use.
• Our goal has been to make the best quality product possible with the longest trouble free life available, and to deliver it to the consumer in an easy to use package that fits with the home’s décor.

Screen Door Mesh Options

Most of our doors are installed using standard fiberglass mesh (the same as what is in your window screens).

We recommend fiberglass mesh because it is the smoothest running in our doors.

For pet owners, we offer TuffScreen, a scratch-resistant polyester mesh.

Screen Door Sizes

We can custom manufacture any screen door up to a maximum height of 108″ and a maximum width of 64″. Andover Retractable Screens can take care of all the details to ensure a quality installation.
