Simplify Your Sliding Door Screen: Easy, Affordable & Custom Fit by Coverwith

Y.Walter

Searching for a "sliding door screen"? You want to enjoy that beautiful view and easy outdoor access your sliding glass door provides, but without letting insects invade your home. You might be thinking of the traditional framed screen that slides in a track, or perhaps a modern retractable screen that disappears into a housing. Both have their place, but they also come with potential hassles – tricky installation, high costs, jamming tracks, or complex mechanisms. But what if there was a simpler, more affordable, and incredibly convenient alternative? Let me introduce you to the custom-fit magnetic screen door from Coverwith – a smart solution perfect for sliding doors.

Traditional Framed Sliding Screens: The Old Standard

These are the screens many sliders come with – a metal or vinyl frame holding mesh that slides in a dedicated track.

  • Pros: Can feel relatively sturdy when new.
  • Cons: Tracks collect dirt and jam easily; rollers wear out or break; mesh often gets damaged (pushed out, ripped); repairing or replacing them can be costly and difficult; standard sizes often don't fit perfectly after settling or if the original is missing.

Retractable Sliding Screens: The Disappearing Act

These screens roll up into a vertical cassette mounted on the side of the door frame.

  • Pros: Offers a completely clear view when retracted.
  • Cons: Significantly more expensive than other options; installation is complex, often requiring precise mounting and sometimes cutting tracks; the retraction mechanism can fail or jam over time; usually available only in standard sizes or requires professional custom installation.

The Coverwith Magnetic Screen Alternative: Simple & Effective

Coverwith offers a different approach that combines the best aspects of convenience, effectiveness, and value:

  • Utter Simplicity: No tracks, rollers, or complex retraction systems. Our screens hang easily using high-quality hook-and-loop fasteners.
  • Effortless Installation: Forget complex instructions and tools. You can install a Coverwith screen in minutes. Clean the frame, apply the adhesive strips, hang the screen – done!
  • Amazing Affordability: Coverwith screens cost a fraction of replacement traditional sliders or new retractable systems.
  • Unbeatable Convenience: Enjoy true hands-free operation. Walk right through, and the powerful magnets snap the screen closed behind you. It's perfect for kids, pets, and carrying things in and out.
  • Durable Choices: Select our high-grade polyester for great visibility or durable fiberglass for maximum toughness against pets and wear-and-tear. Both feature reinforced stitching.
  • The Custom Fit Advantage: This is crucial for sliding doors! Standard sizes almost never fit perfectly. Coverwith makes your screen to the exact width and height of your sliding door opening, ensuring no gaps, perfect magnet alignment, and a clean, professional look.
