Do you live in suburbia with views of rolling green lawns and a sparkling pool? Or are you a little further out surrounded by nature? No matter where you are, you’ll benefit from a retractable screen door. Designers and decorators continually espouse the trend of “bringing the outdoors in!” But that simply means a few well-behaved plants and some leafy prints on cushion covers. It shouldn’t include insects, spiders, or any unidentifiable furry thing. Screen doors have always been something of an eyesore and certainly not something to be found in an upmarket neighbourhood! But this has all changed with the advent of smart screen doors. We’re answering some key questions about these clever home solutions.
Why Do You Need a Smart Screen Door? Smart screen doors for your home serve several essential purposes. Not only will they keep the bugs at bay, but they’ll do so while still allowing a free flow of fresh air for you and your family. This means an end to stuffy summer homes or increased power bills from a hardworking air conditioning unit. Additionally, they deliver a measure of defence against wind and rain. (Although you’ll want to explore dedicated storm doors and windows for complete weather protection.) This protective barrier serves to maintain an even temperature in the home and prevents drafts. Yet it will still let in natural light for a brighter room. Some choices offer an added layer of security and privacy, all while protecting your view of the great outdoors. Choosing a Retractable Screen Door You will be thrilled to know that the days of chipped wooden screen doors banging in the wind are over. Consider the features of some of these screen door options available to you while you mull over which will work best in your space.
