Almost all homes are built with the standard garage door. For people who mainly use their garage to park a car or two and store their extra stuff, this may be enough. However, you’re not the average person. You see your garage as an extension of your home. You spent a lot of time setting up your workspace and making it clean, usable and inviting. Installing garage screens can be the perfect way to take your user friendly garage to the next level. This is an especially perfect solution if you use your area to store and showcase collectibles like classic cars.

There are many reasons to consider replacing your garage door with a screen. While you’re working, it’s inconvenient to stop what you’re doing to regulate the temperature and comfort level. With garage screens, you have a remote control right at your fingertips and can put the screen up or down with just the click of a button. If you don’t even want to put that much thought into it, you can install and wind or sun sensor, or both. This automatically will raise and lower the device when the sun or wind hits it. It also makes no difference whether your garage is standard size or not. Each screen is custom built to exactly your specification.

Once you see how perfect garage screens are, why stop there? You may want to look into other applications as well. How about adding an automatic screen to your deck, sun room or outside entertaining area? You may just be the only house on the neighborhood that can barbecue without being eaten alive by mosquitoes. These are just a few reasons to consider using automatic retractable screens in your home and garage.

We live on a hillside with a north westerly exposure.   During the morning hours our home is always maintained at a comfortable temperature by the installed insulation.  However when the sun comes over the roof line things start to heat up.   We close all doors and windows and turn on the air conditioning unit.  By evening things have cooled off outside and we wish we had that cool evening breeze circulating throughout the house.  We had considered various types of screen doors and then decided on the retractable screens because our rear doors are of the french door variety and have a double opening.

Retractable screens were not an easy thing to find.  Many places we looked had suggestions but none of them would provide a complete coverage for the french door openings and some even suggested keeping one of the doors permanently in the closed position.  This was not a satisfactory solution for us so we kept looking.  When we finally found the Stoett model we saw hope for our dilemma.  By using two door that meet in the middle we can open one or both of them as the need be.   We also have the ability to open one or both of our french doors for the natural ventilation.

We foresaw a possible problem when we had the retractable screens installed.  What were we going to do when we came home late at night and upon opening the garage door and found the screen in place.  This was simply addressed by getting two of the remote control screen openers.  We always carry one of them in the car and the other is mounted next to the door from garage to house.  No matter where we are when we want to enter the garage the screen opening is only a button push away.

After a search for what was available we invited a Stoett representative out to the house for recommendations.   He recommended a series of retractable screens to cover each section of the windows.  Now with the push of a button we can cover or open each pane of glass in the room.  We are in control and can allow as much sun light in as little sun light in as we wish.   The room now meets its expectation of being usable twelve months a year.

For teenagers, a separate space away from the main living areas can be a much needed and appreciated haven of peace. A few rugs, an old couch and a TV can make this a peaceful place where they can have friends over, and take a break from being the big brother or sister. Garage screens of course add the wonderful feel of being outdoors, which adds to the relaxing nature of a garage turned haven. For younger children, the space can be used as a new, special play area just for them. Again, with the addition of rugs, an old couch, and shelves to organize all of their favorite toys, the new space can be the perfect place for spending one-on-one time alone with mom and dad.
