Why Retractable Screens Are the Optimal Screen Solution

Innovative, luxurious, long-lasting, and practical. What more could you ask for in a window or door screen? The average American household installs standard screens to their household. The standard screen is visible when in use or not. Traditional flat screens obstruct views. The innovation of a more practical screen option has changed the game.

What is a Retractable Screen?

Retractable screens are a rolled-up screen that is concealed and protected by its own housing container that fits into or around a window or door. The housing blends seamlessly with the house or door without obstructing your view. The screen is hidden from view until you retract the screen from its housing. When the window or door is opened, the screen unrolls from above. As you close the window or door, the screen rolls up into the housing for the next use. Retractable screens are becoming popular in residential and commercial buildings. They are also referred to as Phantom Retractable Screens. Read more about Phantom Retractable Screens here.

Benefits of Doggie Doors

Dogs of all shapes and sizes benefit from the installation of a doggie door. The dog’s safety and health are impacted greatly.

Benefits:

Ease to use the bathroom when nature calls: We humans know how uncomfortable it is to wait when we have to use the restroom. Why would we keep our beloved pets from going outside to take care of business when they need to? A doggie door allows your pet to take care of business when they need it without you needing to open the door every time.
Increased Physical Fitness: If your pet lives primarily indoors, it is beneficial for your four-legged friend to get outside, run around, and breathe fresh air. A dog that is cooped up and contained inside all day is not a happy, healthy dog. Dogs need to stay active to burn their energy and get the proper amount of exercise every day. By giving your pet the freedom to roam outside as they please, you will be improving their physical and mental health. Outside activity increases the dog’s ability to stay alert and receive adequate mental stimulation.
Reduce Boredom: No matter the breed or age of your dog, the average attention span ranges from 1-3 minutes. Exercise can help your pet gain a longer attention span and improve behavioral habits. Chewing on home items and mischievous behavior is commonly seen in dogs that do not get an adequate amount of outside time.
Emergency Pet Entrance and Escape: Life is unpredictable. Whether you are home with your pet or not, emergency situations are bound to happen. From dangerous weather to in-home disasters, your pet deserves a way out of these unpredictable situations.
