The housing and tracks hold everything together. Here is what to know about aluminum, finishes and sizes.
Most retractable screens use extruded aluminum for the housing and tracks. Aluminum is light, strong and does not rust, and it can be powder-coated in colors from white to black. Good housings are sealed against dust and bugs and designed to hide the roller and motor.
Size matters. Wider screens need larger housings and sturdier tracks. We choose the housing to match the span and the look, and we pick a color that blends with your trim. Quality powder coat resists fading and chipping for many years.
