Application
Retractable exterior screens for sliding patio doors and French doors. Cut daytime sightlines, reduce glare and solar heat, and keep the room bright without fighting with door operation.
Patio doors create one of the biggest privacy and heat-control problems in a home because they combine a large glass opening with one of the most frequently used connections to the yard.
Exterior screens solve that from the outside. They reduce solar load before it reaches the glass and improve daytime privacy into the room behind the door without forcing you to close heavy interior blinds.
The best patio door solution needs to improve privacy and heat control while still working with the way the door is used every day.
A tighter solar fabric makes it much harder to see into the kitchen or living room from the patio, backyard, or neighbouring lot during the day.
South- and west-facing patio doors can pour heat into the room behind them. Exterior screens cut that solar load before it reaches the glass.
The screen is installed as its own exterior system, so it can be designed around standard sliding doors, French doors, and wider glazed door openings.
Motorized systems let you raise or lower the screen from inside, which is especially helpful on doors that are used constantly through the day.
Each fabric performs differently across privacy, view-through, airflow, and UV blocking. We help you choose the right option for the way the space is used.
Heavy-duty insect mesh with maximum airflow. Neighbours can see through clearly, so privacy is not a feature of this fabric.

How It Works
We start with the door type, the direction it faces, and whether privacy, glare reduction, heat control, or convenience is the main goal.
We measure the full glazed opening, assess the mounting surfaces, and confirm whether the best solution is one screen or a split-panel layout.
The cassette, side guides, and fabric are built to the exact dimensions of the door opening and the control method selected for the project.
We install the system, test operation with the door, and confirm the finished setup works cleanly before handover.
Exterior solar and privacy screens for windows that need better heat and glare control.
Custom screens for covered and open patios that need more privacy and comfort.
Retractable screens for condo and home balconies with multiple exposed sightlines.
Common Questions
No. The screen is installed as its own exterior system, so it is designed around the door rather than through it. We measure the opening and choose a layout that preserves normal door use.
Many standard patio doors can be covered with a single screen panel, while wider multi-panel door systems may be better handled with two sections. We confirm the best layout from actual site measurements rather than nominal door sizes.
Yes. Those projects are common. Depending on the layout, we may screen the full glazed opening together or split the coverage into sections that suit the structure and the overall width.
Yes, with a motorized system. That is one of the biggest advantages of motorized patio door screens, especially on doors that are used often throughout the day.
On sun-exposed doors, exterior solar fabrics can make a noticeable difference because they reduce heat before it reaches the glass. Rooms behind south- and west-facing patio doors are usually where homeowners feel that improvement the most.
We custom-fit exterior screens for sliding and French patio doors so the room stays more private, more comfortable, and easier to use throughout the day.
