French Door Retractable Screens in Park City
There is a distinct architectural style here in Summit County—whether it’s a modern build in Promontory or a renovated historic home near Main Street—that heavily favors the grand entrance. Double doors connecting your great room to a sprawling deck are a staple of mountain living. However, enjoying that open-air connection can be difficult when the mosquitoes hatch or the afternoon sun hits the glass.
At Sunpeak Screens & Shades, we solve the common dilemma of screening double entryways without ruining their aesthetic. Our custom solutions allow you to throw open your French doors to capture the cool alpine breeze while keeping nature’s less invited guests outside.
The Challenge with Screening Double Doors
Standard fixed screens simply don’t work for French doors. They obstruct the view, clutter the entryway, and often require awkward hardware that ruins the clean lines of your doorframe. In a place like Park City, where the view of the ski runs or the Uintas is the focal point of the room, you don’t want to look through a permanent mesh grid year-round.
Our retractable screens are designed to vanish. Mounted on the side frames of your doorway, they pull out to meet in the middle when you need them and retract completely out of sight when you don’t. This preserves the elegance of your entryway and ensures your view remains pristine during those snowy winter months when screens aren’t necessary.

Why We Use Mirage Screens for Mountain Homes
We are an authorized dealer for Mirage Screens, widely considered the smoothest operating retractable screen on the market. In the high-altitude environment of the Wasatch Back, reliability is key.
These systems feature a unique “pivot latch” that ensures a secure closure in the middle, even when the canyon winds pick up in the afternoon. Unlike magnetic systems that can blow open with a strong gust, Mirage screens stay shut until you open them. The internal components are lubricated and designed to resist the dust and pollen that can accumulate during a dry Utah summer, ensuring they don’t jam or stick over time.
Custom Fit for Park City Architecture
No two doorways are exactly the same, especially in custom mountain homes. We don’t use “cut-to-size” kits from a big box store. We precisely measure your opening to ensure a bug-tight seal.
Whether you have a standard set of double doors in Jeremy Ranch or oversized, 8-foot custom doors in The Colony, we frame the screens to blend perfectly with your existing trim. We offer a variety of colors to match your door casing, making the housing virtually invisible. For homeowners looking to expand their bug protection beyond just the entryway, we can also integrate motorized patio shades for covered patios and loggias, creating a cohesive shading package for the whole home.
Durability in High-Altitude Weather
Materials that last in sea-level suburbs often degrade quickly at 7,000 feet. The UV index here is intense, and the temperature swings between day and night can be drastic.
We use screens and housings built to withstand this specific climate. The mesh is UV-coated to resist sun rot, and the aluminum housings are powder-coated to prevent peeling or fading, even after years of exposure to snow and ice. We understand that a screen door in Snyderville Basin faces different challenges than one in the valley, and we install it with appropriate anchoring to handle the freeze-thaw cycles typical of our winters.
Enhancing Natural Ventilation
One of the best perks of living in Park City is the natural cooling. Even on hot July days, the evenings usually cool down significantly. By installing retractable screens on your French doors, you can create a powerful cross-breeze that cools your home naturally, reducing your reliance on air conditioning.
It’s about lifestyle—being able to hear the wind in the aspens and smell the sagebrush without worrying about wasps or flies entering the house. You can browse our gallery to see how these screens have helped other local homeowners merge their indoor and outdoor living spaces seamlessly.
