Screen doors for French doors

[Whyme]

Our house has a set of French doors that lead out to the deck. So that I can keep them open more I want to get some flyscreens for them. Hopefully, they can be security flyscreens.
Can you get flyscreen doors for French doors?

Found this website they have a system called a "double cassette" I've seen similiar at home shows, they're designed for French & Bi-fold doors. I don't know about security though. Hope this helps. Kerie:)

Thanks for the information Kerie. They look very nice but they don't seem to offer any security. As the doors are at the back of the house I would like to be able to keep them open most of the day but I worry about doing that if they aren't secure. We have had a few burglaries nearby. Do you know if you can fir security screen doors to french doors?

Yes you can get screens. A&L Windows are a good company. Instead of having normal flimsy screens you can have lots of options. You can have the grille, but I don't think it's as nice, so you can choose to have Marine Grade Stainless Steel Mesh in lieu of grille. Looks good and is still secure but you can also enjoy the view outside.

Hope that helps a bit!

The Marine Grade screen sounds perfect. How would that work as our doors open outwards. Do I put the screens on the inside to open inwards?

[Katrina]

Yes usually you will have to do this. :)

Hi Whyme
The security mesh looks great. It is a bit more expensive but worth the extra cost. The screens can also slide to the side of each door, if you have room on both sides.

Yes good idea, they are call bi-parting :)

[Whyme]

I do have room on both sides of the doors. So I rang up a screen door store today and they coming out to give me a quote. Thanks for all your help. It will be good to have security and no flies:)

Screen doors are there to let in the right amount of light and air into the house. A screen door is a great way to not only let some fresh air and sunshine into your home, but also to keep insects and other pests out at the same time. These doors will make you feel secure within your home while also being able to give the house a stylish look.

Hi Jackie01 welcome to the Decorating Forum. I agree I love having my doors open and letting in the fresh air. But at the same time I have to keep those pesky critters out - the tiny ones and the ones that tend to wear ski masks:D.
I hope you have fun chatting with us here:)
