Where It Fits In Kansas City
Where Sliding Screens fit in Kansas City
The older homes inside the city were built before anyone planned for a screen door, and the new ones have door walls nobody wants to frame in. Sliding Screens work on both.
- French doors on the TudorsA pair of French doors off the back of a Brookside Tudor has no room for a storm door on either leaf. A Sliding Screen for double doors closes across both and meets in the middle on a magnet strip.
- Front doors on the bungalowsA Waldo bungalow with a solid front door and a porch can let the evening air in through the screen and keep the porch view, then slide the screen away for company.
- Lofts and townhomes downtownSliding panel doors onto a balcony in the River Market or the Crossroads get a screen that disappears into a slim housing at the side of the frame.
- Bi-fold doors on remodelsA remodel in Hyde Park or Armour Hills that opened the kitchen to the yard with a bi-fold door can use a Large Opening Sliding Screen, up to 12 feet wide.
Worth Knowing
Old doorways, new door walls, and one kind of screen
Kansas City homes inside the loop and south toward Waldo were built with doors that a standard swing screen door or storm door never fit well. French doors open out onto narrow patios, front doors sit under shallow porches, and the trim on a hundred year old frame is not something you want to cut into. Our Sliding Screens don't need the framing a traditional door system needs. Each one is built to the exact size of your door, rolls out of a housing on the side of the frame, and rolls back out of sight when you don't need it.
For the narrow doors on the bungalows and Tudors, the Standard Sliding Screen is the fit: a single door up to 65 inches wide and 9 feet tall, or a pair of French doors up to 130 inches across. For the remodeled kitchens that now open onto the yard through a bi-fold or multi-panel door, the Large Opening model spans up to 12 feet, or 24 feet when two are paired, and stands up to 10 feet tall. Both glide in a track at the top and bottom of the door.
Before you order, know the trade offs. From some angles the mesh can look wavy, and retained mesh waves a little more because of its zipper weld. Lubricating the tracks several times a year keeps the screen gliding, and the bottom track adds a low threshold in the doorway.

City lots bring city problems. A Westport porch faces a busy sidewalk, a Plaza area patio picks up blowing leaves off the parkway trees, and the River Market lofts catch every moth drawn to the lights downtown. A screen that disappears when the door shuts means none of that comes inside, and the door looks the way the architect drew it the rest of the time.

Straight Answers
Sliding Screens questions from Kansas City homeowners
Yes. The double door version covers French doors up to 9 feet tall and 130 inches wide, and the two screens close against each other on a center magnet strip.
That's exactly the door these were made for. A Sliding Screen needs none of the framing a swing screen door takes, so the trim on an older Kansas City doorway stays as it is.
No. It retracts into its housing beside the frame, so the doorway and the view stay clear until you pull the screen across.
Yes. Large Opening Sliding Screens cover bi-fold doors and multi-panel sliders up to 10 feet tall and 12 feet wide, 24 feet with two paired.
It can. The Standard Sliding Screen comes in 8 standard and 18 custom colors, and every model offers 3 handle options.
A little. Lubricate the tracks several times a year, and expect a small threshold where the bottom track crosses the doorway.
