Case Study: Seamless Fresh Air Access with Back Double Retractable Screens in San Diego, CA

Introduction

When it comes to enjoying the Southern California breeze without letting in the bugs, homeowners are looking for solutions that blend in, work flawlessly, and hold up over time. This recent San Diego installation delivered exactly that, thanks to Apollo’s custom retractable screen system for sliding double doors.

Project Overview

The homeowners were seeking a clean, unobtrusive solution for their wide-opening sliding doors at the back of their home. Their main concern was finding a screen system that wouldn’t clutter their living space or interfere with the beautiful view — but would still allow for airflow and bug protection when needed.

Apollo’s back double retractable screen was the right call. The install focused on a sliding double door setup, where two retractable screen panels meet in the center when in use, then slide smoothly out of sight when not needed.

Installation Process

Each Apollo screen system is measured, built, and installed by factory-trained professionals, ensuring a clean, precise fit every time. For this job, we:

• Assessed the door frame dimensions for a custom build

• Matched the screen housing and frame color to the existing trim for a near-invisible look

• Installed the dual retractable screens with a soft close mechanism that prevents slamming

• Trained the homeowner on the ergonomic metal handle and smooth glide system

The result was a low-profile solution that doesn’t compete with the view or the home’s aesthetic.

Benefits Realized

• ✅ Screens disappear when not in use

• ✅ Cross-ventilation without the insects

• ✅ No slamming — Apollo screens retract smoothly and quietly

• ✅ Comfortable, one-handed operation with our metal ergonomic handle

• ✅ More solid construction than big box options or online kits

• ✅ Professionally measured and installed — no guesswork, no gaps

Conclusion

In a climate like San Diego’s, it makes sense to open the doors and let the fresh air in. With Apollo's retractable double screens for sliding doors, this homeowner now enjoys clean airflow, a bug-free home, and a screen system that disappears when it's not needed.
