Retractable screens roll up completely out of sight when not in use. Pull them down when you need bug protection, let them retract when you want the full open view. They work on patio openings, door openings (especially French doors and sliding doors), and large window openings. Penn Shades installs retractable screens across the Pittsburgh area.
Signs You Need Retractable Screens
You want patio bug protection but don't want fabric visible 24/7 — retractable screens hide when not in use. Your French doors or sliding patio doors need a screen but standard slider screens stick or fall off the track. You want to keep the front door open in summer for airflow but need bug protection. Your large casement or awning windows don't have factory screens and aftermarket ones are awkward.
Retractable screens are the right call when you want bug protection on demand without the look of always-visible screen fabric. For permanent screen coverage, screen enclosures are the better option.
Our Retractable Screens Options
Within retractable screens we offer patio screens (mounted at the top of a covered patio, roll down to enclose), door screens (mounted to the side of a door frame, roll across when needed), and window screens (mounted at the top, roll down). Mesh options include standard mosquito mesh (most popular), pollen-blocking mesh (allergens), and solar-mesh (UV protection plus bug screening in one).
Operation is typically manual (pull handle), with motorized versions available for large patio installs. Mounting hardware is designed to be discreet — the screen housing is typically painted to match the surrounding trim.
Retractable Screens for Pittsburgh Homes & Businesses
Retractable screens are common across Pittsburgh on covered patios (Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Cranberry, Wexford), on French doors to backyards, and on front doors of older homes (Squirrel Hill, Highland Park, Shadyside) where keeping the door open for airflow is a long Pittsburgh tradition.
We install across Pittsburgh, Moon Township, Coraopolis, Sewickley, Robinson, Carnegie, Bridgeville, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Cranberry Township, Wexford, McCandless, Fox Chapel, and surrounding western Pennsylvania communities.
