Retractable Sliding Screen Doors

With inswinging French doors, the only option for screen doors on the Masher's newly remodeled space would be outswinging doors. Since that would compromise the space on the new deck, they have opted for sliding, retractable screens from Phantom Screens. These roll screens remain stored in panels alongside the door frame that blend into the decor. When open, they latch using magnets for a tight fit. For about $375 installed, these retractable screen doors have a limited lifetime warranty. Since the screens roll away into the housing, they are protected from the typical wear and tear endured by traditional screen doors. More information
