How many different types of screen doors are there? With all the types and styles of screen doors available, it can be overwhelming to make a decision about which one to get. Luckily, we can help you with that by letting you know everything you need to know about the different types of screen doors available on the market today!
Mesh Screens
If you’re looking for a lightweight, easy-to-install option, mesh screen doors are one of your best bets. They’re very thin and can be attached to most door frames with ease. Some even come with magnetic strips so they don’t have to be staked into place. A great option if you want something a little bit lighter than steel but still durable and dependable enough to stand up to strong winds. Also works well in warmer climates where bugs aren’t much of an issue. One potential downside is that these screens won’t keep out noise as well as some other options. For example, kids playing outside or neighbors mowing their lawns might make it through without difficulty.
Aluminum Screens
If you want an alternative to traditional screen doors that’s extremely durable, you should consider installing aluminum screens. These metal screens can protect your home from pests and mosquitoes, while also protecting your family from potential injury. But, not all aluminum screens are made equally. Flux Phenom Magnetic Screens have a solid 1/8-inch thickness and work with most wooden and metal frames up to 2 inches thick.
Plexiglass Screens
Plexiglass is a flexible, clear plastic. It is durable and fairly easy to clean. The obvious advantage to plexiglass is that it can be cut into any shape or size so it’s relatively easy to customize for specific needs. As with other types of screen doors, plexiglass screens can be installed indoors or outdoors, as long as they are protected from moisture, which may damage them over time. They should also be protected from extreme temperatures, since extreme heat will weaken them and extreme cold will make them brittle. Plexiglass does not block light, so it may not be ideal for rooms where privacy is important (e.g., bathrooms). However, if you’re looking for a material that lets light in but still keeps bugs out, plexiglass could work well in your home or office.
Flux Phenom Magnetic Screens
Magnetic screens are great for people who want to keep bugs out without locking them out. These screens stay closed when it is windy or storming, but can easily be opened. The door-style design is best for doors that open inwards towards your home rather than outwards away from your home. Flux Phenom Magnetic Screen Door allow airflow and light through when open, but are still effective at keeping pests like mosquitoes and flies outside.
