Security/flyscreen sliding door - any nice designs ????

Page 1 of 1
Hey guys,

Are there any attractive sliding/security screeen doors our there for contemporary homes ? Can't stand the cheap-looking ones. Cant' find anythng half attractive on the net
Oh dear - no posts !


Does that mean that there aren't any decent looking sliding screen doors out there ?
Or maybe it means everyone else is happy with the standard 'cheap looking' ones and hasn't bothered looking
There was a thread done a while ago on this, I'll see if I can find it.

This is about sliding doors but does discuss more flyscreens than security.

I have sliding security doors on the new place, I will get a photo of them for you - maybe tomorrow, bit dark now.
A few links to some previous discussions, with links, hope this helps.

How about the invisible ones

Thats like mine
Given that my crazy dog came running at the back door a few nights ago and smashed his nose right into it (I guess he thought I left the door open for him), I think that an invisible screen could pose problems lol. He hit the door with such force I thought for sure he'd either broken his nose or the door.

Okay, it's probably not funny but I can laugh at it because there was no damage from it. Now I know to also close the security door so that he can see that there's a closed door.

Anyway, Southies, I just got my security doors (including the one for the sliding door) through the builder, so I didn't get given a choice about how they looked.

It would have looked funny...

Poor dog

I was going to put an invisible screen on my sliding door, but now I'm having second thoughts ... don't have a dog, but I have 3 year old daughter!

Paula, will a child be able to see/ notice them?

Judging by the way my now four year old use to bang on them with his plastic hammer....umm...yeah...not a problem.
