A door screen isn’t a complicated product. It’s a mesh panel added to your existing door so you can leave it open without letting mosquitoes in. Before you compare screen door price quotes side by side, it’s worth knowing what actually moves the figure: opening size, mesh type, and the track or frame system holding it all together.
What Is a Door With Sliding Screen?
A door with sliding screen has a mesh panel running on its own track, in front of your existing glass sliding door. You slide the panel across by hand. The glass door stays open behind it. The floor track sits low, so you walk through without stepping over anything.
The screen is an addition to your door. Your existing door is never altered, whether drilling is needed depends on the door and its condition. If you would rather not have drilling, inform the team early and they will recommend something that works around it.
For homes with pets, choose meshes that are made of 316 Stainless Steel or heavy-duty Polyester. These materials are scratch-resistant and able to take heavy weight, making it more durable and safer for pets. See Mozziefy’s cat mesh options.
Where Sliding Screen Doors Work Best
Popular areas to install a Sliding door screen include balcony, outdoor patios or terraces, doors leading to backyards or front entrances.
For flexible usage and narrow spaces such as a single door, installing a retractable screen door is more suitable.
Benefits of Installing a Door Screen
- The door can be kept open to allow airflow.
- A physical barrier against mosquitoes, which matters given the dengue clusters NEA tracks across residential estates
- With cat mesh fitted, your cat stays safely indoors beside an open balcony door
- High-clarity mesh keeps your view unobstructed, so the room stays bright
- A lock system on both the sliding and the retractable door screen
What Affects Screen Door Price?
There is no fixed price, because every screen is customised to size. A screen door price is charged per square foot, with a minimum price per mesh, plus 9% GST. Measurement and installation are both included in the quoted price.
Main cost drivers
- The size of the opening, measured in square feet
- The mesh, whether fibreglass, heavy-duty polyester or 316 Stainless Steel
- The system, whether sliding, retractable or 2-in-1 Blinds and Mesh
- The door configuration and any special requirements
Door Screen Options for Balconies and Service Yards
Two systems are built for doorways, sliding and retractable. The retractable can also be ordered as 2-in-1 Blinds and Mesh. Browse the full door screen range before you decide.
Common configurations
- Sliding Door Screen – a panel on a low track for balconies, main entrances and wide openings, in fibreglass, heavy-duty polyester or 316 Stainless Steel
- Retractable Door Screen – a roller that pulls across the doorway and retracts when not in use, in fibreglass or heavy-duty polyester
- 2-in-1 Blinds and Mesh – a roller at each opposite end, one carrying a sunshade or blackout blind and the other insect or pet mesh
How to Choose the Right Door Screen
Work through these points before you ask for a quote:
- Measure the clear width and height of the opening, so you can get a rough estimate over WhatsApp
- Count daily use and how you move through spaces.
- If you have a cat, choose heavy-duty polyester or 316 Stainless Steel on the sliding door, or heavy-duty polyester on the retractable
- Allow for lead time: 2 to 3 weeks for a sliding door screen and 4 to 6 weeks for a retractable
- Check the warranty. Both door screens cover installation, manufacturing and mechanism defects. Wear and tear, accidental or deliberate damage, and the mesh itself are not covered.
