ABOUT SCREEN DOORS

Screen Doors are external doors which have panels of mesh to keep out insects while allowing air to circulate. They are available in three main forms. Applied Screen Doors are fixed to the inside or outside of existing doors, and may be hinged or sliding retractable. Integral Screen Doors are normal wooden doors, but with mesh screen in place of glass. They substitute for a normal external door. Lightweight Screen Doors can be attached without tools to the inside or outside of an existing door, using tension rods which press against the door jamb.

The leading screen door suppliers, described below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of screen doors, including online catalogs, specifications, colours and materials for screen doors, and care and maintenance of screen doors.
