Patio & Door Solar Screens

Oversized solar screens for patio doors, French doors, and sliding doors.

Starting from

$65/screen

Sliding patio doors and French doors present a heat-gain challenge that standard screens don't address. A large patio door facing west can contribute enormous heat gain to a room in El Paso afternoon sun. We custom-fabricate oversized screens specifically for door applications, they operate correctly with the door and don't compromise egress. Patio screen options include standard solar screen material in door-appropriate frames, as well as retractable screen systems for applications where you want the screen to disappear when not in use. For fixed screen applications, we fabricate door screens that match your window screens for a consistent look. We also build screens for sliding glass doors that include a handle and security bar option so the screen stays shut when you want it to.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Door Measurement

    Patio doors require precise measurement of the opening and the existing door frame hardware. We account for track clearances and operation requirements.

  2. 2

    Screen Type Selection

    We recommend fixed or retractable based on your usage. Fixed screens are more economical; retractable disappear when not needed. Both provide effective heat protection.

  3. 3

    Fabrication

    Door screens are fabricated to exact dimensions with appropriate hardware for your door type.

  4. 4

    Installation & Operation Test

    We install and test the screen through its full range of operation, slide, latch, and removal, before completing the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a solar screen for a sliding glass door?

Yes. We fabricate solar screens for sliding patio doors that fit in the door track and operate correctly. They're removed for access when needed and reinstalled easily.

Do patio door solar screens come in the same densities as window screens?

Yes, 80%, 90%, and 95% density options are available for door screens. For west-facing patio doors that catch afternoon sun, 90% is typically the right choice.

What about French doors or double doors?

We fabricate solar screens for French doors and double door configurations. These require two panels that align properly when both doors are closed. We measure for both leaves and ensure the screens work correctly with the door operation.
