Q. How large can the Retractable Screens be made?
A. The maximum dimensions for Retractable Screens are 19’8 wide and 12’ tall.
Q. Can you see through the screen?
A. Yes. This is what makes Retractable Screens so practical and appealing. Because the screen material is available in a variety of weave densities, you can block the heat and glare of the sun’s rays, without sacrificing your view. During the day, Retractable Screens offer excellent privacy, and at night, others looking in can only see silhouettes.
Q. What color of screen material is easiest to see through?
A. Dark colors absorb most of the sun’s light and glare, and light colors reflect light back to your eyes, therefore, dark colors are easiest to see through.
Q. Can Retractable Screens be used on porches?
A. Yes. Retractable Screens are the ideal solution for creating shade, privacy and insect protection for patios, gazebos, and decks.
Q. How do Retractable Screens protect me from insects?
A. Our unique edge retention system uses a zipper system that keeps the screen in a track and prevents insects from entering your home or patio while the screen is in the down position.
Q. What happens if Retractable Screens are left in the down position in high winds?
A. We do not recommend that you operate your Retractable Screens in windy conditions. Retractable Screens are intended to provide solar protection, not wind protection. However, our unique screen edge retention system allows you to keep your screens down in light winds without blowing out of the guide rails. If you live in a windy area, we recommend that you purchase a wind sensor that will automatically retract your Retractable Screen when it gets windy. |
