1. What is the warranty on the Lifestyle garage screen system?
There is a Limited Lifetime Manufacturers warranty covering the parts of your Lifestyle Garage Screen System.
The screen is not included in the warranty......simply put; a damaged screen usually occurs by force.
2. Does the Lifestyle screen replace my existing garage door?
No. You will still use your garage door as you normally would. The Lifestyle
garage screen system works in conjunction with your existing garage door
allowing you to quickly switch between your garage door and your
Lifestyle garage screen system. When in use, the Lifestyle garage screen
exchanges positions with your garage door.
3. Does the Lifestyle garage screen system work with wind loaded
doors such as those found in Florida and other coastal areas?
Yes, the Lifestyle system works with all wind loaded and hurricane reinforced
doors. However, if your garage door is reinforced with 6" C-channels,
you should discuss the changes necessary with your installer.
4. Can you add a locking mechanism to the retractable door?
Yes, the retractable door can be fitted with a locking mechanism at an
additional cost. Locking mechanisms are optional.
5. What sizes and colors are available?
Currently, we have 6' wide to 18' wide models and 7' tall to 10' tall. 9' and 10' models available up to 16' width
only.The frame is currently available in white, sandstone or brown, more color choices coming soon.
6. I have storage over my garage doors now. Can the Lifestyle
garage screen and my garage door go down so I can access it?
Yes, you will want to open your garage door, roll your Lifestyle garage screen
down until it touches the floor, leaving it "kicked back" from the jamb. Then
simply disconnect your garage door from the opener with the safety disconnect
cord and gently roll the garage door down until it rests on the Lifestyle frame.
(Your installer will show you how to do this.)
7. How much clearance will I lose from my existing garage door
opening when the Lifestyle is installed?
Typically, you will not lose more than 1.75" of clearance.
8. How much does the Lifestyle garage screen system cost?
Prices are set by the dealer or retailer and may vary.....therefore its best to just give us a call or email us and
we can have a dealer give you their pricing directly.
9. What is the difference in airflow between the standard 18x14
fiberglass screen and the upgraded Super Screen material?
You will get approximately 10% more airflow with the standard screen (58%)
above optional screen materials (48% airflow).
10. Can I install my Lifestyle garage screen system myself?
Yes......but the Lifestyle garage screen is a spring loaded system and requires attention to detail. Most "Handy"
people can install their own door following our step by step instructions and online videos.
11. What is the upgraded screen mesh made of?
The upgraded Lifestyle Super Screen uses a mesh made of pvc coated polyester.
The weave pattern is 17x20 and both the black and white are good for
customers looking for an extremely strong mesh. Only the white mesh functions
as a privacy screen. FYI, the standard mesh is made of fiberglass in an 18x14 weave pattern
similar to that used in your home's window screens.
12. Will the Lifestyle Screen work on a low headroom garage door? (double horizontal
track system)
The Lifestyle screen will not work on low headroom applications. Low headroom
garage doors are typically found in basement garages. They are typically identified
by two tracks on the horizontal. Your local dealer will verify this for you.
All of our screen door systems are made right here in the USA.
