Screens that disappear until the bugs show up
Insect, solar and clear vinyl mesh that retracts into a slim cassette at the edge of the opening — a clear doorway or patio when it's not deployed, full protection the moment you pull it across.
What makes an Arcadia retractable screen different
Big-box screens sag and jump their track within a season. We build every retractable screen on a spring-loaded cassette and a track sized to your exact opening, so the mesh retracts smoothly for years instead of binding halfway.

Everything included as standard
Full use of the opening, either way

Choose your mesh
Insect mesh keeps bugs out without blocking the view. Solar and clear options add sun and weather protection to the same track. Tap a swatch to see it full width.
Eight of our mesh options are shown here, spanning insect, solar and clear vinyl. Your designer brings the full book to your door or patio.
Choose your track system
How the screen retracts and where it meets the opening decides what it can span, not just how it operates.
Choose your control
Wide multi-panel doors and garage-size openings are where motorization stops being a luxury and starts being the practical choice.
Four simple steps. One team throughout.
The same designer who reads your opening measures it and signs off on the install.
Mesh samples held against your own door or patio. We read the opening and typical use before recommending anything.
Opening width, height and mount surface checked before we order a single component.
Mesh, track system and control confirmed on a written quote at a fixed price. No deposit taken.
Fitted, aligned and tested in a single visit. Packaging leaves with us.
Retractable screens, sliding screen doors, or outdoor blinds?
All three protect an opening. What separates them is what happens to the opening when the product isn't in use.
Want the opening fully covered even when you're not there? We usually pair a retractable screen with an outdoor blind rather than choose one over the other.

Motorized retractable screen on our back wall of sliding doors. Push a button and the whole opening is clear, push it again and the bugs are gone.
We use it every evening in the summer. When we are not out there it just disappears into the cassette — you would never know it was there.

What is a retractable screen?−
A retractable screen is an insect, solar or clear vinyl mesh panel that pulls out of a slim cassette across a door, window or patio opening, then retracts completely out of view when not in use.
How much do retractable screens cost in DFW?+
Most retractable screens land between $650 and $1,600 per opening, installed, with motorized large-opening systems running higher. Your quote is fixed after measuring, with no deposit taken at the consultation.
Can retractable screens cover a sliding glass door?+
Yes. Multi-panel sliding and stacking doors are one of the most common uses, and wider openings typically move to a motorized large-opening system.
Do retractable screens keep bugs out?+
Yes, that is their primary job. Insect mesh keeps out mosquitoes and no-see-ums while still allowing airflow and an open view.
Can retractable screens be motorized?+
Yes. Remote, app or voice control is available on most track systems, and wide multi-panel openings are usually recommended as motorized from the start.
