What Are Retractable Screens?

Retractable screens are a type of screen that can be easily pulled or rolled out when needed and then retracted or hidden when not in use. These types of screens are beneficial for both residential and commercial properties because they offer practical solutions to maintain comfort and airflow in various spaces while keeping unwanted pests at bay.

Not your grandma's screen porch! They are very modern and streamline. Exceptionally stylish! We can not say enough about American Patio Enclosures in Southlake. The team was very professional, and our new patio enclosure is amazing. They even have a sliding barn door option. Great experience with true professionals from start to finish. Very affordable too.
