Remember when your garage was just a place you parked your car? Not anymore! Modern garages are an extension of your living space. They tend to get a little stuffy, so here are the 3 best garage door screens you can buy.
This article is about the BEST garage door screen, not the cheapest or easiest. That means we won’t waste your time with crappy magnetic screen doors, or janky TEMU stuff. Don’t even bother looking on Amazon. If you want to get a garage door screen that actually works you will have to get, at the bare minimum, a well-built manual system.
In the manual world, there really is only one answer, it’s the Lifestyle Garage Door Screen. Designed as a rectangular frame that swings up and under your roll up garage door, it is a one-piece system that you operate with two hands. Most homeowners elect to put a “man door” in the center, which is a traditional swinging screen. Some professional screen door installers may opt to upgrade to a retractable screen door, or a higher quality swinging door.
At the time of this writing, you can order this screen with several options. First is frame color, to match your garage door trim, you can have your garage screen door come in white, bronze, or tan. Screen mesh option include charcoal, white for privacy (but you lose some inside out visibility) and black . You want to make sure not to order a fiberglass screen or it will be very fragile over an opening as large as a screen for a garage door.
Of course we are a little biased, but there are objective reasons why Apollo has the best garage door screen. Let’s start simply with the warranties. There is a 7-year warranty on the motor, and 15 on the mesh material. Longest in the market by far.
In addition, Apollo Garage Door Screens are made of a high grade extruded 6063 aluminum that is more than double the thickness of the lifestyle, and is both thicker and stronger than any other motorized screen door. Despite the durability, Apollo Garage Screens fit into a very modern, sleek housing. With near limitless color options, they are perfect for any style of home
Universal Screens, like Apollo, is a motorized power screen. The reason we rate them so high is volume. Universal started primarily as a garage screen door, not a motorized patio screen like most of it’s competitors. Originally created in Jacksonville, Florida the trend for putting a screen on a garage door may or may not have been born there, but it certainly took of there. I believe that there are more screens installed on garage doors in Florida per capita than anywhere else in the world, and more of those are Universal Screens than anyone else.
Motorized Garage Screens like Apollo and Universal have several advantages over manual systems like Lifestyle Screens, and I’m not just talking about the motor.
Whatever your motivation for your garage, a garage door screen is a great investment. Home gyms, home offices, even playrooms can take the square footage and add it to your home. Do some review checking, watch more videos, and you will find these 3 options can present the perfect garage door screen.
