About Retractable Screens
Retractable screen systems provide the ultimate flexibility in porch enclosure, allowing instant transition between open-air enjoyment and bug-free protection. Dream Decks installs premium motorized and manual retractable screens that disappear cleanly when not in use and deploy smoothly when protection is needed.
Motorized retractable screens offer convenient one-touch operation via wall switches, remote controls, or smart home integration. High-quality systems feature quiet motors, smooth operation, and automatic wind sensors that retract screens during high winds to prevent damage. Solar-powered options eliminate the need for electrical wiring in retrofit applications. Track-guided systems provide superior insect protection with tight seals at screen edges.
Manual retractable screens provide similar flexibility at lower cost. Quality systems use spring-loaded cassettes for smooth deployment and retraction. Pull-bar handles make operation easy. Like motorized versions, manual screens feature housing cassettes that protect the screening when retracted. We recommend manual systems for single openings and motorized for larger or multiple openings where convenience justifies the additional investment.
