FAQs

Here you will find some of the most frequently asked questions about the Lifestyle garage screen system.

1. What is the warranty on the Lifestyle garage screen system?

     There is a  Limited Lifetime warranty covering the parts. Screen mesh is not included in the warranty. The manufacturer does not provide you with a warranty on labor, be sure to discuss this with your installer.

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', 8', 9' and 10' tall*. The frame is currently available in white, brown and sandstone. 

*  9' and 10' models available up to 16' width only.

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.

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? 

     Most doors are standard and easy to price with a quick phone info request, phone call or even text message! Just let us know the length and width of your door and we will give you some options.

9. What is the difference in airflow between the standard 18x14 fiberglass screen and the optional 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. As your local dealer we are authorized to sell directly to consumers for self installation.      We recommend watching the installation videos first.

11. What is the upgraded screen mesh made of?

      The upgraded Lifestyle screen uses a mesh made of P.V.C. coated polyester.  

      The weave pattern is 17x20 and both the charcoal and white are good for customers looking for an extremely strong mesh. Only the white mesh functions as a privacy screen the charcoal does not. FYI, the standard mesh is made of fiberglass in an 18x14 weave pattern similar to that used in window screens. View this Super Screen Video

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. Though you do have other options such as the Mystic.

13. Does the Lifestyle Screen work with a high-lift garage door system?

        The Lifestyle Screen WILL work with a high lift garage door. However, the Lifestyle Screen will always store at the standard height.
