Case Study: Invisible Screen Doors Bring Breezy Comfort to Escondido Balcony and Patio

Introduction

A homeowner in Escondido came to us looking for a way to enjoy fresh air throughout the day without inviting bugs inside. Their balcony featured double French doors and their patio had a single swing-out door — both needing discreet screen solutions that wouldn’t block the view or get in the way.

Project Overview

We installed a retractable screen for a balcony double door setup and a single screen for the patio door, custom-measured and built to match the home’s frame. The homeowner wanted something that worked smoothly, stayed hidden when not in use, and felt solid in the hand.

Installation Process

After an on-site consultation and exact measurements, we built and installed two screens tailored to this property:

• Balcony Double Door: We installed two retractable units that meet in the center and latch with a magnetic closure, providing full opening coverage when needed and vanishing into the housing when not.

• Patio Single Door: A single retractable screen mounted on the hinge side, designed to pull easily and retract smoothly without the usual “slamming” you find in cheaper brands.

Both installations were completed in a single visit by our factory-trained techs. The color-matched housings blended cleanly into the door trim.

Benefits Realized

• No Bugs, Full Breeze: Both doors can now be open all day without letting in flies or mosquitos.

• Out of Sight When Not in Use: No clunky screen door obstructing the view — the screens disappear into the side housing.

• Clean, Quiet Operation: Smooth glide and quiet retraction — no banging or snapping.

• Built to Last: Metal ergonomic handles and high-quality mesh made to handle daily use.

• Custom Fit: No gaps, no sagging — the screens look like part of the home.

Conclusion
