Screens that disappear into a compact housing that doesn’t interfere with window or door functioning. You only have a screen for your door/window when you need it. The screen is extended from the housing and kept in place by a magnetic latch that easily retracts with the aid of a spring-loaded roller tube inside the unit housing.

Because every Mirage Screen is custom made for an application, Mirage is a professionally installed screen system. In the case of an in-swing door application, the screen will either be installed inside the door jamb or outside on the door’s trim. For out-swing doors, the screen will be installed inside of the home.
