Introduction

Homeowners love their French patio doors — but they often struggle with how to enjoy a breeze without leaving the door wide open for bugs. That was exactly the situation we encountered on this job in Atlanta. The client had recently installed silver-framed French doors and didn’t want a bulky screen ruining the clean, open look. We had the right solution.

Project Overview

Our team was called in to install a custom retractable screen for a set of beautiful silver French patio doors at a residence in Atlanta, GA. The homeowners wanted something that would blend in, stay out of the way when not in use, and most importantly — keep mosquitoes and gnats out while letting the breeze flow through.

We measured, built, and installed a double retractable screen system, color-matched to the silver door frame for a nearly invisible appearance. The result: a functional screen that disappears when not needed.

Installation Process

• Initial Site Visit: We measured both door openings with precision and confirmed the swing direction for proper operation.

• Customization: The retractable screen was built to size, ensuring a tight fit without compromising the doorway’s clean look.

• On-Site Installation: Our factory-trained technician installed both screen cassettes directly into the door frame. The alignment was adjusted to guarantee a smooth, quiet glide every time the screens were opened or closed.

• Final Walkthrough: We showed the homeowners how to operate and maintain the screens. No slamming, no sticking, no issues.
