Door & Sliding-Door Insect Screens

The Door range brings our Pro-grade build to doorways — main doors, balcony doors and large sliding doors. If you’re after a sliding door insect screen in Singapore that lets you walk through freely, then retracts neatly out of the way, this is the tier made for it. Walk through, and the screen glides away; pull it across, and mosquitoes, flies and cockroaches stay outside — all without blocking your access or your view. It’s custom-made, professionally fitted with no drilling, and part of our wider insect screen range.

What you get

• Pro-grade retractable build adapted for door-height use, so it stays smooth under daily traffic.
• Walk-through convenience — glides across to screen and retracts smoothly when you pass through.
• Near-invisible fine fibreglass mesh for clear views to the balcony or yard.
• Child-safe lock as standard.
• High load-bearing frame for daily, high-traffic use.
• No-drill installation — clean, bonded finish, fitted by professionals.

Who it’s for

Doors take far more daily use than windows, so they need a sturdier screen. The Door range suits:

• Balcony and service-yard doors — see our dedicated balcony insect screens page.
• Sliding glass doors to the balcony or yard — covered in detail on our sliding door insect screens page.
• Main entrances behind a door gate or grille, where you want airflow and bug protection without a permanent fixed screen.

In short, any door where you want the breeze and the access, but not the mosquitoes — and not a screen you have to leave permanently in place.

Why doors need a heavier build

A door screen is drawn across and retracted many times a day, so the mechanism has to glide smoothly under far more wear than a window screen ever sees. It also spans a taller opening, which puts more demand on the frame to keep the mesh taut and the track true. That’s why the Door range uses our Pro-grade build: a high load-bearing frame and a premium mechanism engineered for door-height, high-traffic use. A flimsy door screen binds, drifts off track or sags — and a sagging screen leaves gaps that defeat the purpose. The Door range is built so it seals properly every time, year after year. Our comparison of magnetic versus fixed insect screens explains why a retractable solution beats a permanent panel on a doorway.

How no-drill installation works

Even on a tall, high-traffic door, the method stays completely drill-free:

1. Test fit — the assembled frame is trial-fitted to your door.
2. Prepare — the surface is cleaned thoroughly so the bond holds under daily use.
3. Bond — specialised adhesive tape and silicone secure the frame — no drilling.
4. Install and check — fitted and quality-checked over the full height.
5. Cure — leave it one day before first use for a permanent hold.

Most installs finish in under an hour, with bookings usually completed within a week anywhere in Singapore. See how it works for the full method and features for the standard inclusions.

Pair it with your windows

A door screen does its best work as part of a fully screened home. While the Door range handles your balcony, sliding and main doors, the window ranges handle the rest:

• Core — the recommended all-rounder for most windows.
• Pro — premium build for long and large windows.
• Sleek — box-free design for slim reveals.
• Base — budget screening for standard windows.

Many homes run Door on the balcony and Core on the bedrooms — one coordinated setup. See the full range overview to plan it, and our condo insect screens page for whole-unit coverage.

Keeping pests out for good

Doors are a prime entry point for flying pests, especially at dusk. Screening them is the most effective long-term way to keep insects out of the house and to stop flying cockroaches drifting in from corridors and yards. A screen complements professional mosquito control rather than replacing it: treatment clears what’s inside, the screen stops the next wave entering through your doors — a real help through the dengue season.

Caring for your Door screen

The fibreglass mesh is fully washable — a soft brush, mild soapy water and a rinse keeps it clear and gliding well. Our how to clean insect screens guide covers the routine.

Living with a door screen

A door screen changes daily life more than people expect. Once it’s fitted, the balcony or yard door can stay open through the evening for the cooling breeze, the kids and pets can move in and out, and you stop the constant battle of opening the door for air and then swatting the mosquitoes that follow. Because the screen is retractable, it never gets in the way: it rolls aside when you want the door fully open and clear, and pulls across in a second when you want air without insects. The child-safe lock means it stays where you set it rather than drifting open, and the high load-bearing frame is built so the smooth glide you enjoy on day one is the same glide you get a year later, despite all that traffic. Door screens take more wear than any window screen, which is exactly why we put our sturdiest Pro-grade build into them rather than a lighter frame that would wear out on a busy doorway. The result is a screen you stop thinking about — it simply does its job every time you reach for the door.
