Retractable Screens in Salt Lake City
Living along the Wasatch Front offers some of the most spectacular views in the country, but it also means dealing with a climate that can change in an instant. From the intense high-altitude UV rays beating down in July to the sudden canyon winds that kick up in the evening, your home’s exterior needs to be as tough as it is beautiful.
At Sunpeak Screens & Shades, we specialize in high-quality shading solutions designed specifically for Utah’s unique environment. We help you blur the line between indoor comfort and outdoor living, allowing you to enjoy the fresh mountain air without the harsh sun or pests taking over your space.
Enjoy the Breeze, Block the Bugs
There is a specific time of day in Salt Lake City—usually right after the sun dips below the Oquirrh Mountains—when the temperature drops and the air feels perfect. That is exactly when you want your doors open. However, that is also when the mosquitoes and gnats come out.
Installing a retractable screen door allows you to capture that cross-breeze without inviting the neighborhood insects inside. Unlike a traditional fixed sliding screen that rattles in the track and obscures your view 24/7, our systems are designed to disappear. When you aren’t using them, they retract neatly into a discreet housing, preserving the architectural look of your entryway, whether you’re in a historic bungalow in the Avenues or a modern build in Daybreak.

The Mirage Retractable Screens Difference
We don’t believe in “one size fits all,” especially with the variety of door styles found across the valley. That is why we are proud providers of Mirage retractable screens. Known for their smooth operation and durability, these screens are engineered to handle thousands of cycles without jamming.
If you have a double French door that opens up to a patio in Sugar House, or an oversized sliding glass door in Sandy, we custom-fit the screen to the opening. The mesh is durable enough to withstand daily use, yet sheer enough that it doesn’t ruin your view of the garden or the mountains.
Motorized Solutions for Salt Lake Evenings
While manual door screens are perfect for entryways, large outdoor living spaces often require something more robust. The sun angle in Salt Lake City can be brutal, particularly for west-facing patios in areas like South Jordan or Herriman where shade is scarce in the late afternoon.
Our motorized patio shades transform your covered patio or deck into a pest-free, shaded sanctuary at the touch of a button. These large-format screens can span wide openings, effectively creating a “Utah room” that is shielded from the glare and the heat. When the wind picks up coming off the canyons, the specialized track systems keep the fabric taut and secure, preventing the blow-outs common with lesser quality big-box store products.
Built Tough for the Utah Climate
Utah weather is notoriously hard on exterior home products. We have dry heat, heavy snow loads, and rapid freeze-thaw cycles. A standard screen often becomes brittle and faded within a few seasons of high-altitude sun exposure.
We use materials specifically chosen for longevity in our desert-alpine climate. The powder-coated aluminum housings resist chipping and fading, while the screen mesh is UV-resistant. We understand that a screen in Millcreek faces different challenges than a screen in downtown SLC, and we ensure the installation is anchored securely to withstand local wind loads.
Preserving Your View of the Wasatch
One of the main reasons people choose to live here is the scenery. Whether you look out at the towering peaks of Big Cottonwood Canyon or the city lights from the Draper benches, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice your view for comfort.
Our retractable screens are designed to be phantom-like. They are there when you need protection from the sun and bugs, and gone when you want an unobstructed view. This is particularly important for homes with large picture windows or multi-slide doors where a permanent screen would detract from the visual appeal of the home. You can browse our gallery of past projects to see how these systems blend seamlessly into different architectural styles across the valley.
