Retractable Screen Doors in Turner Valley
Screens Built for Foothills Weather
Turner Valley sits close enough to the mountains that the weather changes its mind twice a day. A chinook can push the temperature up twenty degrees before lunch, and by evening the wind is coming off the Sheep River valley hard enough to rattle a standard swinging screen door off its hinges.
That is exactly the problem a retractable screen solves. Ours roll away into a slim housing when you are not using them, so there is nothing hanging in the wind, nothing to warp over a winter, and nothing blocking your view of the foothills the other ten months of the year.
How Our Retractable Screen Doors Work
The screen lives coiled inside a cassette mounted to your door frame. Pull it across when you want airflow, let it retract when you do not. There is no seasonal takedown, no storage in the garage, and no torn mesh from a season of wind.
- Entry doors, French doors, and retractable sliding screen door setups for patio sliders
- Speed-reducing mechanism so the screen glides back instead of snapping
- Magnetic latch that holds the screen closed against a gust
- Fiberglass mesh, or pet-resistant TuffScreen if you have a dog that leans on things
- Low-profile track that sits flush enough to walk over without catching a toe
Canadian-Made Mirage Systems, Nothing Else
We install Mirage Screen Systems exclusively, and they are manufactured in British Columbia. That matters here for two reasons. Alberta homes take a beating from temperature swings, and a screen engineered for Canadian conditions holds up in a way an imported unit does not. It also means replacement parts are a phone call away rather than a shipping container away.
Mirage backs their systems with a limited lifetime warranty, and after 16 years of installing them across the Calgary area, we have not found a reason to carry anything else. You can read more about how we got started and why we work this way on our about page.
Colours That Match the House You Already Have
Nobody wants a beige box bolted to a nice front entry. Every system we install comes in eight standard colours, with 18 diamond series powder coat options if you are matching stained timber, a dark window frame, or trim that is a specific shade of green somebody picked out fifteen years ago.
We measure and build to your opening, so the housing lines up with the frame instead of being trimmed to fit on site.
Windows and Large Openings Too
Doors are where most people start, but the same system covers more of the house. We build custom retractable window screens for casements and awnings, and large vertical or horizontal screens for wide patio openings and covered decks. For openings that are awkward to reach or simply too big to pull by hand, motorized retractable screens handle it at the touch of a button.
Turner Valley’s insect season is short but intense. Mosquitoes come off the river bottom in force through midsummer, and a screened deck is the difference between using it and abandoning it in July.
Why a Screen Specialist and Not a General Contractor
Retractable screens are a precision product. The housing has to be square, the track has to be level, and the tension has to be set correctly or the screen will drift or bind within a season. That is not a job you learn on the side of a renovation business.
Screens are all we do. We are a Costco-trusted retailer, we handle screen door repair on systems we did not install, and we have been doing this long enough to know what fails and why. It is the same standard we bring to retractable screen door installation in Calgary and to every town in the service radius.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, and that is one of the main reasons Alberta homeowners choose them. The screen retracts into its housing when not in use, so it is not exposed during the worst of the wind. When it is extended, the magnetic latch and side tracks hold it in position.
No. The system stays mounted year round. The screen simply retracts into the cassette, which protects the mesh from snow, ice, and UV without any work on your part.
Usually, yes. Every unit is built to the measurements of your specific opening, which is why we come out and measure in person rather than working from a catalogue size. Older homes in Turner Valley often have openings that are slightly out of square, and building to spec handles that.
We repair retractable screens, including systems other companies installed. Depending on what failed, that may mean a mesh replacement, a new tension spring, or a housing swap rather than a full replacement.
Most single-door installations are done in one visit. Larger jobs with multiple openings or motorized units take longer, and we will tell you what to expect before we book the date.
