Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Elite Garage Screens
Will this fit my garage?
Fits most sectional garages with standard horizontal tracks. Low-headroom tracks may require an extra kit.
What does 'head-room' mean?
Distance from the ceiling to the lowest part of the trim above the door opening.
How do I know what size screen I'll need?
Measure width trim-to-trim and height trim-to-floor (Daylight Opening).
Will I lose any headroom in my garage?
Yes—about 30 mm (may increase with double-track low-headroom systems).
Can the screen door be locked?
Yes—locks are available for the frame and the retractable personal-access door.
How long will it take to install?
Usually just a few hours; frame is cut and assembled on-site.
What colour options are available?
Frames: White, Sandstone, Dark Brown. Screens: White (privacy) or Super Black (see-through). Both pet-proof.
What warranty comes with the product?
5-year product warranty and 12-month installation warranty.
Is a garage screen the same as a fly screen?
It does the same job on a bigger scale. The screen covers your whole garage opening so air comes in and insects stay out, then retracts when you need the doorway. Choose White mesh for privacy or Super Black for a see-through view.
Do you install sliding garage screen doors?
No. We install retractable, spring-loaded Lifestyle garage screens. They have no floor track, use the full width of the opening and retract out of the way when the car comes in.
Do you cover Auckland and Wellington?
Yes. We cover the North Island from Kaitaia to Wellington, including Auckland Central, North Shore, West Auckland, South Auckland, Wellington, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and Porirua. Call 021 849931 to confirm service in your area.
Is the screen pet-proof?
Yes. Both mesh options, White (privacy) and Super Black (see-through), are pet-proof.
How does the screen handle wind and weather?
The screen is built for weatherproof operation. Because it is retractable, you can also let it retract whenever you would rather have the opening clear.
Which garage doors is the screen designed for?
Sectional garage doors. It fits most with standard horizontal tracks. Doors on low-headroom tracks may need an extra kit, which we confirm when we measure on site.
How do I get a quote?
Use the Request Quote form or call 021 849931 (Mon–Fri 9–4, Sat 10–2). Including your width trim-to-trim, height trim-to-floor and head-room measurements helps us quote accurately.
Can I still use my garage door with the screen fitted?
Yes. The screen works with your existing garage door rather than replacing it. Retract the screen and use your garage door as normal.
