Screen Doors for Your Garage

A new garage door screen has many benefits no matter what type you decide to have installed. The three main types; roll up, sliding, or retractable can quickly be installed into any existing garage door system.

What is the Main Reason to Have a Garage Door Screen Installed?

The most obvious reason and popular reason is to keep the bugs out while the garage door is open. If you have access from your house directly into your garage you probably do not have a screen on that door.

This means that bugs can enter your garage and then your house if the garage door is open along with the access door.

What Other Benefits Will a Garage Door Screen Have?

The main reason to have the garage door open, other than to moving your car, is to let the air circulate while in the garage. Most garages are not air conditioned so when an extended time is spent in the garage it can get very hot and stuffy. With a screen this helps keeps fresh air circulating. If it is a windy day the screen will also keep dirt and debris from entering the garage.

Many people do not use their garages just for parking their cars. A garage door screen can be a bonus whether the garage is used as a rec room, workshop, play area, party room, or even as a smoking area.

What Are Some of the Useful Features of a Garage Door Screen?

Many robberies occur when a garage door is left open and a criminal simply walks in and helps themselves to any of the contents in the garage.

A garage door screen adds to the security of the garage and discourages theft. Locks can even be installed on many models. This is also great for keeping young children inside the garage.

The screens are designed to be used easily and many models have an access door that makes it convenient to enter and exit without having to lift or roll up the screen.

Installation is not complicated and will not interfere with existing garage door tracks, but a qualified installer is recommended for proper installation and to qualify for a full warranty for the screen and the installation.

A garage door screen is a welcome addition to any home for whatever a garage is being used for, and can even add value to any existing home.
