Screen doors for pets are quite a pain, as the pet runs into it or scratches at it. Taping or patching them to ensure convenience does not make sense. Furthermore, instead of using one standard “pet door screen,” we customize all our doors to match your unique lifestyle. Mirage retractable screens can be customized with mesh to suit your purpose and keep your pet safe.

What is a Pet Door Screen?

This type of pet door screen is designed with dogs and cats in mind and has a scratch-resistant mesh. Although Mirage does not offer just one single pet door screen, you can purchase any of their doors with a scratch-resistant mesh option.

How Do Pet Door Screens Work?

This kind of door screen works like any other retractable one. They slide back inside the house when not needed, sliding out again whenever you need them.  Our advanced design improves the functionality and strength of these doors.

Mirage uses Tuff Screen – a polyester mesh resistant to scratching to keep your door looking great throughout its lifespan. It doesn’t leave space for small insects while maintaining privacy due to its tighter weave than traditional screens visible outside the building. You may order it in various widths and heights according to your opening size, considering that it can resist escape attempts by even our Super Magnet latch system, which is three times stronger than others in the market.

What to Look for in Pet-Friendly Screens

We want our pets’ spaces to be comfortable and safe for them as much as possible. The type of screen used within our homes often determines how safe and comfortable a home will be for our pets. Here are some tips on what you should look out for when searching for pet-friendly screens:

Durability

Doors meant explicitly for dogs should survive weather elements like high temperatures, rainfalls, etc., and frequent usage, including scratches from nails. Higher privacy, better insect protection, and durability are some of the features you can expect from our Tuff screen mesh, which has an even stronger scratch-resistant weave.

Puncture Resistant

The screen’s tight weave makes it more difficult to puncture, saving your door from scratches caused by claws. Our doors are constructed from high-quality materials that offer longevity and ease of maintenance. This door brings convenience and lasting functionality to any home.

Scratch Resistant

Cats are famous for their scratching habits when it comes to your screens using them as their scratching posts. Its woven solid material can stand up against the sharp nails of cats because the thick polyester fabric used in weaving is also more challenging for them to damage. The denser a mesh is, the less likely insects will invade all hours of day or night while providing more excellent daylight and nighttime privacy.

Tuff Screen Scratch Resistant Polyester Mesh for Pets

The Tuff screen mesh that we use in our homes is perfect if you have pets. Its durable and sturdy material composition is also an ideal screen with long-term reliability. Slide the retractable away along its guide made of Teflon-infused so as not to hinder traffic through this opening whenever you do not use it again.
