Case Study: Smooth-Glide Long Pull Retractable Screen for a Carmichael Entryway

Introduction

In Sacramento's Carmichael neighborhood, where warm evenings invite open doors and indoor-outdoor living is part of the lifestyle, one homeowner was tired of the constant battle between airflow and flying insects. They called us looking for a front door screen solution that wouldn’t take over the look of their entry — and that’s where our Apollo Front Single Retractable Screen came in.

Project Overview

The client’s main objective was to enjoy a breeze through the home without compromising the clean appearance of their front entry. The doorway had a wide opening, which made a Long Pull Retractable Screen the best fit. The homeowner also wanted a screen that wouldn’t slam shut, and one that blended seamlessly with their door frame.

Installation Process

This was a custom-measured job. We started with an in-person consultation and took exact measurements to ensure the screen would fit perfectly without gaps or misalignment. The screen color was matched to the door trim for a clean look. Our factory-trained installer completed the installation in under two hours. Thanks to Apollo’s precision engineering and the soft-close technology, the screen glided like a dream from the first pull.

Benefits Realized

• No Bugs, All Breeze: Keeps pests out while letting the air in

• Out of Sight When Not in Use: Rolls away neatly into a low-profile housing
