No. You will still use your garage door as you normally would. The California Lifestyle Screens system works in conjunction with your existing garage door allowing you to quickly switch between your garage door and your California Lifestyle Screens system. When in use, the California Lifestyle Screens exchanges positions with your garage door.
3. Does the California Lifestyle Screens system work with wind loaded doors such as those found in Florida and other coastal areas?
Yes, the California Lifestyle Screens system works with all wind loaded and hurricane reinforced doors. However, if your garage door is reinforced with 6″ C-channels, you should discuss the changes necessary with your installer.

6. I have storage over my garage doors now. Can the California Lifestyle Screens and my garage door go down so I can access it?
Yes, you will want to open your garage door, roll your California Lifestyle Screen down until it touches the floor, leaving it “kicked back” from the jamb. Then simply disconnect your garage door from the opener with the safety disconnect cord and gently roll the garage door down until it rests on the California Lifestyle Screens frame.

11. What is the upgraded screen mesh made of?
The upgraded California Lifestyle Screen uses a mesh made of pvc coated polyester. The weave pattern is 17×20 and both the charcoal and white are good for customers looking for an extremely strong mesh. Only the white mesh functions as a privacy screen the charcoal does not. FYI, the standard mesh is made of fiberglass in an 18×14 weave pattern similar to that used in window screens.
12. Will the California Lifestyle Screens work on a low headroom garage door? ( double horizontal track system)
The California Lifestyle Screens will not work on low headroom applications. Low headroom garage doors are typically found in basement garages. They are typically identified by two tracks on the horizontal. Our CLS Tech will verify this for you.
