A garage door screen transforms the interior of a garage and opens up the entire space while protecting it from insects and pests. Most screens are either customized to slide horizontally across the opening, or they're retractable and rolled and unrolled vertically. Below are a few benefits of garage door screens.

Benefits of Garage Door Screens

1. Add an Extra Room to Your Home

If you need some additional space during the warmer months of the year, the garage can be converted with the simple addition of a screen. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a home addition, deck, or sunroom, the garage can serve the same purpose for a fraction of the price. A screened-in garage is a popular choice for those throwing large summertime parties or those looking for a private retreat, such as a mancave or a space for teenagers to hang out with their friends.

2. Enjoy the Outdoors Without the Bugs

Porches, patios, and decks do not provide a barrier against insects. Whether you're hosting a gathering or just relaxing solo after work, summertime insects can quickly turn a pleasant experience into an uncomfortable one. A garage door screen lets you enjoy the outdoors without pests constantly swarming around you, the guests, and the food and drink.

3. Increase Energy Efficiency

During the summer months, a garage can heat up into a sauna in no time. Not only does this make the space virtually uninhabitable, but the heat can spread to other parts of the home. A garage door screen increases airflow and keeps the whole house cooler, and you won't need electric fans or portable air conditioners in the garage—meaning better energy efficiency and lower utility costs.
