Front doors on the older houses near the Square, patio doors on the postwar ranches and the wide back doors on the newer homes out east all open better with a screen that disappears.
- Front doors on older homesA Victorian or bungalow front door near the Square can let the breeze in through a Sliding Screen without a storm door covering the original door.
- Patio doors on ranchesThe back door or slider on a postwar ranch takes a Standard Sliding Screen, up to 65 inches wide and 9 feet tall.
- French doors onto the deckA pair of French doors takes the double door version, up to 130 inches wide, with the two screens closing on a center magnet strip.
- Wide doors out eastBi-fold and multi-panel doors on a newer house take the Large Opening Sliding Screen, which spans up to 12 feet wide and 10 feet tall.
Worth Knowing
Fresh air through the door, without a storm door
Houses built before air conditioning were laid out for a breeze, with front doors that open onto a porch and windows on every side, and Independence has a lot of them. A storm door hides a good front door, though, and a swing screen door doesn't fit a slider or a pair of French doors. Our Sliding Screens don't need the framing a traditional door system does, so they work on front doors, back doors, patio doors, garage doors and double doors, each built to the exact size of the opening, and they retract into a housing at the side when you don't want them.
A single front or back door takes a Standard Sliding Screen up to 65 inches wide and 9 feet tall, and French doors take the double version up to 130 inches. The big openings on the newer two stories east of Little Blue Parkway take the Large Opening model, up to 12 feet wide and 10 feet tall, or 24 feet across in a double configuration. Standard Sliding Screens come in 8 standard and 18 custom colors, so a dark painted door on an older house can have a frame that matches.
Every model has 3 handle options and runs in top and bottom tracks. Two things to know going in: the mesh can look slightly wavy from some angles, and the bottom track leaves a low threshold you step across. The tracks also want lubricating several times a year. We measure every door at your Independence home on the free visit and hold the written price for 180 days.
