Keep Annoying Bugs Out And Let The Fresh Air In With Retractable Fly Screen Doors


Oh those awful bugs! Bush flies, house flies, and the dreaded mossies, they descend upon us in buzzing droves and can drive you mad with their incessant bugging and biting! Their obtrusive presence has ruined many a pleasant picnic and garden party, and even if you flee indoors they will be sure to follow you through any open doors or windows!

This is why the most popular home improvement option of the last few years has been retractable fly screen doors that keep those persistent little pests out of your hair! Retractable screen doors allow homeowners to merge their indoor and outdoor living spaces, letting in some nice fresh air during the warm months while blocking those annoying bugs!

So, exactly what is a retractable screen door? Unlike screen doors that are non-retractable, when not in use the retractable variety can be hidden away, sliding easily into their housing unit either manually or at the convenient touch of a button! The wonderful thing about a retractable screen door is that it's there when you need it and put away out of sight when you don’t! Once you have them installed, your screen doors open and close by sliding on tracks that have been custom-fitted to your existing door frame.

The following are a few of the benefits retractable screen doors bring to your home!

Keep out the insects and let the fresh air in - The pleasant pastoral scent of fresh-cut grass coming into your home on a refreshing cool breeze is one of the great joys of the warm summer months. The problem is that leaving the door wide open is going to ensure your home gets invaded by pesky insects! If you have retractable fly screen doors you get the best of both worlds, a lovely breeze entering your home that doesn't contain any of those irritating insects!

Easy-to-use and convenient - One of the nicest things about retractable screen doors is the fact that they are so easy to use. Traditional screen doors tend to be awkward and noisy, as well as a pain to open and close, but retractable screen doors slide easily in and out on their ultra-smooth track guides and roll control features, making them a much more convenient option.

Lower electric bills - Anyone who has ever run an air conditioner to keep their home cool during the sultry months of summer can tell you that it is extremely costly! When you have retractable screen doors installed around your home, the fresh and breezy air can come in to cool your house down without needing to spend a fortune on your electric bills!

Stay out of sight -The old traditional screen doors were really something of an eyesore, they were in the way and their main function was unneeded during the colder months of the year, a pointless obtrusion when nobody had any reason to use them. Compare that to modern retractable screen doors that roll up snugly into their housing unit where they are completely out of the way and out of sight!

So, if you want to keep the insects out and let the fresh air in, have some retractable fly screen doors installed!
