Understanding Sliding Screen Door Sizes
Sliding screen doors come in many different sizes, depending on your sliding glass door size. Typical widths are 30, 36, and 48 inches. Heights vary from 77 to 80, as larger 8-foot openings range from 93 to 96 inches. Understanding the difference between the sizes and models of patio screen doors helps you make an informed decision on which screen door to buy.
Many people call into our customer service and say, “Aren’t all screen door sizes the same?”. The short answer is no. It depends on the sliding door manufacturer and the size they chose to build. Every window and door factory has a different set of specifications for standard sizes, and when you include custom sizes, you get a different size. This is why we carry custom-sized screen door products only. So you will get the right size for your screen door.
Sliding Screen Doors in the Screens and Home Improvement Industry’s
The industry offers an adjustable sliding screen door to help solve people’s problems with sizing and having to measure themselves. The screening industry creates adjustable sliding screen doors to eliminate the need for measuring. The problem is that the standard door heights that range from 77 to 80 inches are the only sizes that big box stores like Home Depot or Lowe’s Home Improvement carry. They no longer have my size (8-foot) sliding screen door. In addition, they are inferior, think frame, and the adjusters fail very often. We see more people complain about the adjustables and still come back to us for the custom-made/sized sliding screen door.
I would like to clarify this right now. I believe that this myth started because Home Depot and Lowe’s carry adjustable sliding screen doors in their stores. Those screen doors are inferior, and installers typically will not install them because, in their words, “it’s crap!”

What is a sliding screen door?
A sliding screen door is a movable screen that moves across a sliding glass door. The sliding screen door has spring-loaded wheels at the bottom and top frames and slides on the track on the outer side of a sliding glass door. Its rectangular-shaped metal frame holds the screening mesh material in place with a spline that is pushed into a groove of the frame. The mesh is tightened when pushing the spline and screening into the groove with a roller tool.
The purpose of the sliding screen door is to keep out birds, flying insects or airborne debris such as leaves from entering the home. It also helps with keeping pets and small children from exiting interior spaces, while allowing for fresh air and sunlight to enter the home.

Top 3 Sliding Screen Door Brands
Best Custom Screens offers some more mid-range products that enable customers to customize the width as well. The Classic Sliding Screen Door and Heavy Duty Sliding Screen Door category provides the most durable quality.

across the bottom track for many years to come. This can be the best exterior door for a beach house.
The Heavy Duty Sliding Screen Door is the best quality sliding screen door. I consider it a workhorse. Strong and long-lasting.

Stainless steel ball-bearing rollers help the sliding screen door glide across the track easily, just like hot butter.
Adjustable Height Patio Sliding Screen Door:
A standard patio screen door is 96 inches tall. But most of the time, the height of the patio varies depending on the patio and home design. Best Custom Screens makes things easier for its customers. From now there will be no confusion in measuring the height of the screen door. BCS introduces patio screen doors that can be adjusted up to 4 inches.
Aluminium frames
Aluminum sliding screen doors are generally constructed with two types of screen door frames. The rollform or extruded frames. In both cases, the rectangular roll form or extruded shapes are mitered and joined together into a door frame using interior plastic or metal corners.
Rollforming Screen Frames
Rollforming screen frames is a process that starts with thin metal (aluminum or steel) sheets, into a rectangular-shaped door frame which incorporates a screen channel to hold the window screen material. This method of manufacturing screen door frames is the least expensive way to form a relatively strong rectangular shape.
Extruded
The extruded aluminum frames are made from thicker aluminum than roll-formed screen door frames. This makes an extruded aluminum door much stronger but also more expensive. Extruded aluminum screen door frames can be mitered and joined with aluminum alloy corners.
Extruded aluminum screen doors are generally longer-lasting than roll-formed screen doors.
Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a shaped profile. A material is pushed through a die of the desired shape.
