Wizard retractable screens have a channel in the back of the screen housing that is used for mohair sealing strips and rubber “bug flaps”.
|
Most competitors use silicon sealant to block gaps between the screen housing and door frame. This can be messy and unsightly.
|
Because Wizard screen housings are not glued to your house, the installation is more attractive. Wizard screen installation and repairs are quicker and easier.
|
Wizard utilizes a bug flap for patio slider installations.
|
Some competitors use an aluminum metal piece for patio slider installations. This requires yet another unsightly bead of sealant.
|
Wizard installations are quicker, easier, more attractive, and less expensive.
|
The Wizard screen housing is stylish and ergonomic.
|
Some competitors utilize a housing that is angular and less attractive.
|
We designed our housing unit with no edges, just rounded corners, along with a modern trim to blend into the existing door frame. It is the perfect compliment to a beautiful door and home; sleek and stylish when you need it, out of sight when you don’t.
|
Wizard’s housing end caps and door handles have color-matched plugs to hide the screws.
|
Some competitor’s screens do not have plugs to hide the mounting screws.
|
The plugs help make Wizard installations cleaner and more attractive. Wizard screens are less obtrusive and more stylish.
|
Wizard uses a premium screen fabric. It is heavy-duty pvc coated fiberglass manufactured by Phifer, the preferred screen in the industry. This screen material is 5-15 times stronger than standard window or door mesh.
|
Competitors generally use a standard screen material which is not heavy duty, or charge extra for upgrading to a heavy duty screen.
|
The screen material is the most important component in retractable screens. In the six years Wizard industries has used this premium screen material, we have not had to replace any screens due to rips or tears. Other screen options include solar screens and screens with small openings to block very small “noseeum” (sand fly) insects.
|
Child safety. Wizard has an available option for speed reduction. We use a high quality mechanical speed reducer. (Gel speed reducers can leak and are greatly affected by temperature),
|
The competition may not have this option available or only offer an inferior viscous (liquid) or gel speed reducer
|
Beware of retractable screens that snap back and can pinch or break fingers, especially for kids. Our speed reducer braking system allows a sloooooowwww and consistent retraction back into the housing unit without fear of hurting precious fingers.
|
Guaranteed Installation: A great retractable screen door is only as good as the installation in keeping insects out of your house. Gaps in the housing, mounts, and the screen mesh intersection are small details that will invite insects to move in. That’s unacceptable. Wizard Screens housing, railings, pull bar all work in tandem along with our guaranteed installation to create an insect proof screen door, every time.
|
Quality and durability: Our product is best in class and we prove it through a simple guarantee that will stand the test of time, literally. We guarantee the quality of our materials, the craftsmanship of the installation and your happiness through our limited lifetime warranty. In addition, the forgiving rail system our screen rides in allows for the occasional pushed out screen to automatically retract back into the tracks, just like it was brand new.
