Is there a screen that protects from the harmful rays of the Sun?

Summer is most definitely upon us here in Florida, and so are some of the not so "fun in the sun" dangers of overexposure to the sun's harmful UV rays. Fortunately, for those of us who have discovered the benefits of retractable, motorized, and hideaway screens, we've learned how to beat the heat while enjoying the great outdoors…..and we're doing it in style!

While some sun exposure is beneficial to your health by providing a natural source of Vitamin D to the body (which aids in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus - essential for healthy bones), over exposure to the sun is nothing to rest on your laurels about.

Dangers of overexposure to the sun (or Excessive Sun Exposure) include:

Deterioration of the skin, including premature aging and loss of elasticity.
Rashes, itchiness, and dryness.
Damage to the eyes.
Sunburn.
Skin cancer.

Thankfully, our screens cut the danger down by more than half! When not in use, your retractable screen disappears into its housing, offering an unobstructed view of the outdoors. You're in control with a retractable screen. You decide when you want it, simply sliding it where you want it to go and leaving it hidden from view when you choose.

I called in for service on my existing “Michele’s Hide-Away” screen and in 3 days the service technician, Dalton, arrived. He immediately assessed the damage and went to work to fix it. In less than 30 minutes the door was repaired and working as it should. I’ve had Michele’s screens installed in 2 homes over the years and very pleased with the product and service. The cost of my recent service was surprisingly low.

I was visiting with a neighbor and noticed she had a hide-away screen in her front door. I loved it! She told me she got it from Michele’s Hide-Away Screens. I went online to request a quote and received a response in a timely manner. The rep came out and measured and discussed options with me. My new hide-away screen was installed a few weeks later. It looks beautiful! I love being able to open the front door now to enjoy the fresh air.

The whole experience was great. A fast reply to my web inquiry and the estimator was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. They did the installation about 3 weeks ahead of schedule and the screens look great. Garage screen and hidden front door screens. Highly recommended!

Michele’s Hideaway installed my garage screens years ago. They did such a nice job, I just had them do my entrance double doors with a retractable screen. Nice, efficient, clean job.
