What Is A Screen Away® Door?

If you're shopping for a new storm door, Larson Screen Away® storm doors often pop-up. We're here to break down what a Screen Away® door actually is and how it works.

The Screen Away® storm door essentially combines the best of both worlds, light, and ventilation. It's like having a storm door to block our drafts that instantly converts to a retractable screen door when you want a breeze--only much better looking. Hence, LARSON invented the retractable Screen Away®, the storm door with the disappearing screen. This revolutionary screen and window system gives you the beauty of a full view storm door with ventilation at your fingertips.

The screen is housed in a hidden cassette at the top of the door. The innovative design allows you to simply pulls down with one touch and converts the top half of your glass door into a screen--acting like a retractable screen door. It easily slides up or down for unlimited ventilation options. Adjusting the screen is effortless, giving you a clear unobstructed view of the outdoors with the option of a screen.

The additional weather stripping and overlap frame features on the Screen Away® door make it perfect for harsh weather conditions. As the wind pushes against the door, it pushes the door tighter to the house. The harder the wind blows, the tighter the door seals--helping your home be more energy efficient. 

The best part is that you get a full glass door when you want it with a screen option to enjoy the breeze when you want it, too. This innnovative feature comes in a variety of colors to compliment your home.
