Why Standard Screens Fail Unique Architecture
Big-box store magnetic screen doors come in a limited range of standard sizes and shapes: rectangles, mostly. But real homes come in all sorts of configurations:
- Arched doorways (fully or partially arched)
- French doors (double doors, often with muntins/grid bars)
- Sliding glass doors (horizontal track systems)
- Circular or round windows
- Angled or trapezoidal openings
- Oversized entryways
- RV and camper doors with curved frames
None of these fit a standard magnetic screen door. That's where a custom screen door by dimensions changes everything.
Customization Options Available Through ZOORSCREEN
Frame Shape
ZOORSCREEN can produce magnetic screen doors cut to match non-standard shapes. An arched doorway doesn't need a rectangular screen with ugly gaps at the top—it can have a frame that follows the arch exactly.
Frame Color
Choose from a range of frame colors:
- Minimalist white frame screen — blends with white-painted trim
- Black magnetic screen frame — modern, sleek aesthetic
- Bronze and metallic finishes — traditional and coastal homes
- Custom color matching may be available for specific requests
Mesh Type
- Heavy duty fiberglass mesh — for windows and general use
- Durable fiberglass mesh — for high-traffic and pet-access doors
- Pet friendly screen door options — reinforced for claws and paws
Mounting Method
ZOORSCREEN's adhesive magic sticker system works on most flat and slightly curved surfaces. For unusual materials or severe curves, alternative mounting options may be discussed.
Special Installations: A Deep Dive
Magnetic Screen for French Doors
French doors require measuring each panel individually. The custom magnetic screen door must:
- Cover each panel separately or as a connected system
- Allow the French doors to open and close normally
- Create a magnetic closure along the center gap between panels
- Account for door handles and hardware
Sliding Glass Door Magnetic Mesh
Sliding glass doors present unique challenges:
- The mesh screen must not interfere with the sliding operation
- Often requires measuring the fixed panel and the sliding panel separately
- The magnetic closure typically aligns with the gap between panels
- Consider a wind-resistant magnetic closure if the door faces prevailing winds
Large Patio Door Screen Solutions
Large openings (over 48" wide) require:
- Reinforced mesh material (heavy duty fiberglass mesh recommended)
- Extra adhesive support
- Proper tensioning to prevent sagging
- Multiple magnetic closure zones for wide spans
RV & Camper Custom Screen Door
RV doors are rarely standard sizes:
- Curved frames require careful measurement
- Lightweight materials are preferred for mobile applications
- The adhesive system must handle vibration and movement
- ZOORSCREEN's custom screen door by dimensions handles RV applications well
How to Order a Custom Screen for Unique Architecture
- Measure carefully — For non-rectangular shapes, take multiple measurements along the curve or angle. Take photos from all angles.
