Featured Product: Retractable Screen Door for French Doors

French doors are a romantic addition to any home. However, when it comes to insect protection, these doors might not seem like the most practical type of door. You may feel like you have to choose between the aesthetics and value of having a French door or having the option of opening your doors with insect protection.

However, today on the Metro Screenworks blog, we are featuring our retractable screens for French doors which eliminates the need to choose between having French doors and insect protection – you can have both!

Can a French Door Have a Screen?

Absolutely! A retractable screen door is designed to provide insect protection when needed and then retract out-of-the-way and out-of-sight. As a result, the aesthetics of the French doors are unaffected by the installation of the screen doors but the screens are available when you want to open your doors and don’t want to deal with the bugs.

How Do You Put a Screen In a French Door?

By installing retractable screens. A sliding screen door or a hinged screen door will change the aesthetics of your home and installing them on a French door opening is not possible. Retractable screen doors for French doors offer complete insect protection like you would expect from these traditional types of screen doors but do not affect the functioning or aesthetics of your double doors.

We offer two retractable double screen door options. Both are designed to offer longevity and beauty.
