-
What is the warranty on the Aloha Screens garage screen system?
The manufacturer provides a Limited Lifetime warranty covering the parts. Screen mesh is not included in the warranty. The manufacturer does not provide a warranty on labor. Ask us about installation workmanship when we quote your project.
-
Does Aloha Screens replace my existing garage door?
No. You will still use your garage door as you normally would. The Aloha Screens garage screen system works together with your existing garage door, so you can quickly switch between the two. When in use, the Aloha Screens garage screen exchanges positions with your garage door.
-
Does the Aloha Screens garage screen system work with wind-loaded doors?
Yes, the Aloha Screens system works with all wind-loaded and hurricane-reinforced doors. However, if your garage door is reinforced with 6" C-channels, some changes may be needed. We'll check this at your free measure.
-
Can you add a locking mechanism to the retractable door?
Yes, the retractable door can be fitted with a locking mechanism at additional cost. Locking mechanisms are optional.
-
What sizes and colors are available?
Models range from 6' to 18' wide and 7', 8', 9' and 10' tall*. The frame is available in white, brown, sandstone and black.
* 9' and 10' models are available up to 16' wide only. -
I have storage over my garage doors now. Can the Aloha Screens garage screen and my garage door go down so I can access it?
Yes. Open your garage door and roll your Aloha Screens garage screen down until it touches the floor, leaving it "kicked back" from the jamb. Then disconnect your garage door from the opener with the safety disconnect cord and gently roll the garage door down until it rests on the Aloha Screens frame. (See the pictures below.)
-
How much clearance will I lose from my existing garage door opening when Aloha Screens is installed?
Typically, you will not lose more than 1.75" of clearance.

-
What is the difference in airflow between the standard 18x14 fiberglass screen and the optional screen material?
You get about 10% more airflow with the standard screen (58%) than with the optional screen materials (48% airflow).
-
Can I install my Aloha Screens garage screen system myself?
Aloha Screens can be bought for self-installation. If you're thinking about doing it yourself, watch the installation videos first and give us a call to talk it over. Most homeowners have us handle the measure and the install.
-
What is the upgraded screen mesh made of?
The upgraded Aloha screen uses a PVC-coated polyester mesh. The weave pattern is 17x20, and both charcoal and white are good for customers looking for an extremely strong mesh. Only the white mesh works as a privacy screen; the charcoal does not. The standard mesh is fiberglass in an 18x14 weave, similar to window screens.
-
Will Aloha Screens work on a low headroom garage door (double horizontal track system)?
Aloha Screens will not work on low headroom applications. Low headroom garage doors are usually found in basement garages and can be identified by two horizontal tracks. We'll verify this for you during your free measure.
-
Does Aloha Screens work with a high-lift garage door system?
Yes, Aloha Screens WILL work with a high-lift garage door. However, Aloha Screens always stores at the standard height. See the picture below of an Aloha screen installed with a high-lift garage door.
