Large Opening Screens in Peoria

Bi-fold doors, multi-panel sliders, and wide patio openings create beautiful transitions between indoor and outdoor space. As a dedicated Mirage dealer in Arizona, we install large opening screen systems designed specifically for these wide entries, giving you bug protection without sacrificing the open feel.

Screening Wide Openings

Large opening screens are built differently than standard retractable screens. The Mirage 3500 system can span up to 14 feet wide and 10 feet high in a single unit, covering bi-fold doors, stacking sliders, and extra-wide French doors. For even larger spans, motorized screens can reach 22 feet wide and 16 feet high.

The screens mount above the opening and either retract horizontally into side housings or drop vertically from overhead. When deployed, they create a continuous bug barrier across the full width. When retracted, they disappear completely, leaving your view unobstructed.

Perfect for Arizona Indoor-Outdoor Living

Peoria homeowners invest in large door systems to connect their living spaces with patios, pools, and outdoor kitchens. That indoor-outdoor flow is a big part of Arizona living, especially during the cooler months when you want the house open to fresh air.

But Arizona also has bugs. Mosquitoes breed along irrigation lines and in standing water after monsoons. Flies show up whenever food is involved. Without screens, that beautiful open patio becomes a dining room for insects.

Large opening screens let you have it both ways. Open up the house, enjoy the breeze, and keep the bugs outside where they belong. When you want the full unscreened view, the screens retract and stay out of sight.

Smooth, Easy Operation

Large opening screens are engineered to glide effortlessly despite their size. The Mirage systems use the same Teflon-infused guides and precision components as their standard retractable screens, so even a 14-foot span pulls smoothly without binding or jerking.

The screens lock securely in place when deployed and release cleanly when you’re ready to retract them. Quality hardware matters at this scale because any friction or misalignment gets magnified across a wider opening. Cheap systems fight you every time. Well-built systems feel almost weightless.

Garage Conversions and Covered Patios

Large opening screens aren’t just for fancy door systems. They’re also the best solution for converting a garage into usable living space without permanent construction.

A motorized screen across your garage door opening lets you create a workshop, home gym, or entertainment area that stays bug-free and shaded. Roll up the garage door, lower the screen, and you have a comfortable space with plenty of airflow. When you need to park cars again, the screen retracts and the garage functions normally.

Covered patios work the same way. Screens can enclose one or multiple sides of a patio structure, creating a screened room you can enjoy year-round. Check out our full range of screen services for more options.

Mesh Options

Large opening screens come with mesh choices depending on your priorities.

Standard insect mesh keeps out flies, mosquitoes, and most common bugs while maximizing airflow and visibility. This is the most popular choice for entries where you want to see through the screen clearly.

Solar mesh blocks 80 to 90 percent of UV rays and heat, making it ideal for west-facing patios that get hammered by afternoon sun. The mesh is slightly more opaque but still allows you to see out.

Privacy mesh limits visibility from the outside while maintaining your view from inside. Good for patios facing neighbors or street traffic.

Window screens

Built for Arizona Conditions

Arizona’s combination of intense sun, extreme heat, and occasional dust storms is hard on outdoor products. The Mirage systems we install use powder-coated aluminum housings and tracks that resist UV degradation and won’t corrode or chalk in the desert climate. The mesh is treated to withstand sun exposure without breaking down.

For solar screen options on windows throughout your home, we can handle those too during the same visit.

Professional Installation

Large opening screens require precise installation. The tracks must be perfectly level and plumb, or the screen won’t operate smoothly. Motorized systems need proper wiring and programming. This isn’t a DIY project.

We measure carefully during the initial visit, then return to install once the custom-built system arrives. Installation time varies based on the size and complexity of the opening, but most residential jobs complete in a day.
