Framed spring loaded screen doors are standard in almost every home you buy now. However, they are encumbered with many problems, depending on the environments, such as having children or having pets.

If you have cats or dogs, you should let them in and out of the house several times a day. If you have children, if they are like most children, they open the screen door and let it slam shut. If you’re a grill, have you ever had your hands full of food going out or coming home and you don’t have your hands free to push and pull the handle?

But what are your alternatives? A magnetic screen door gives you all the benefits of a framed screen door, but without the annoying problems. They make it a hands-free entry and exit for people and pets, while keeping pests out.

Here are four benefits of magnetic screens over their standard spring-loaded, framed relatives.

1. They use high-quality, attractive and durable products

Any company can claim to use high-quality products. The truth is that most, if not all, magnetic display companies use low quality materials to make their products! If you want your screen to look good and be durable, it’s important to find a company that has tested and designed their products for high-traffic doors. Compare the weight. Low quality mesh usually weighs 30 g or less. Look for 55g mesh or larger.

Also make sure they only use high energy magnets, which are sewn (not glued) into the mesh. Screens with magnets that are glued on that are in direct sunlight will eventually fail. The sun melts the glue and the magnets will eventually become misaligned or even fall off.

Make sure the Velcro used to adhere the screen to the door frame is sewn in and has a very strong adhesive backing. If it doesn’t have a strong adhesive backing, the weight and daily use will eventually pull it out of the door frame, leaving it bunched up on the floor.

2. They are accessible hands-free

If you have a baby at home, or someone in a wheelchair, or you normally carry something in or out of your home, and constantly struggle with the handle of your framed screen door, then installing a screen should be at the top. from your pier. or summer to do list. It will only take 10-15 minutes to install, but it will save you a ton of hassle.

How many framed screen doors are really wheelchair or stroller friendly? None. The beauty of the magnetic alternative is that, for a disabled person, they simply wheel or walk with their cane, and they don’t have to reach for the door handle and hold it open while trying to maneuver their way through.

What about carrying a baby with diaper bags, or even groceries? He has two hands full of grocery bags and there’s no one home to help him hold the screen door open. What do you do for a living? You reach for the handle, but that doesn’t work because the six bags you’re carrying won’t allow you to reach it. When you finally manage to open the screen door, you have to hold it open with your butt as you open the door. Then when you try to get into the house it closes and hooks you on the back of your heel. Sounds familiar?

With a magnetic screen, all that ends. Just walk by, and as you pass, it automatically closes behind you, without you having to touch it.

3. BBQ becomes a breeze

No one wants to be in charge of opening and closing the door for the person who grills and moves all the burgers and steaks from the outside to the inside. With a magnetic screen, you don’t need any help. Even with both hands full of food or drink, you can go in and out as many times as you need, on your own, and it automatically opens and then closes behind you.

4. Magnetic Screens Are Natural Pest Controls

Another reason to replace your traditional framed, spring-loaded mesh door with a magnetic alternative is that magnetic screens are more effective at protecting your home from bugs, bugs, and other pests you don’t want in your home.

For example, if you’re hosting a late-night party, you don’t have to worry about bugs getting in. You know the bugs that are attracted to the light on the outside deck next to the door? When a person walks through the screen, instead of the entire door swinging open, as with a framed door, the magnetic screen opens just enough to allow a person to walk through and then quickly closes behind them, without Allow insects no space or time. to enter the house.
