Folding Door Screen/Shade Options

The screens & shades are built into the actual door unit so there is no need to install an aftermarket screen on the door unit.

Folding Door Prices

One thing to take into account when considering the pricing of these two products is the factory installed integrated screens & shades on the Centor Integrated door. The Centor doors may seem much more expensive up-front, however, if you are planning on installing an aftermarket screen on your Weathertight door the overall final pricing becomes much closer between the two vendors.
