Screening Large Openings: How to Enjoy Your Bi-Fold Doors Without the Bugs

Bi-fold doors, sliding walls, and oversized patio openings are among the most popular features in modern homes. They connect indoor and outdoor living, flood your space with light, and frame stunning views. But the moment you open them, in come the insects.

At Sun & Shades, we specialize in screening large openings up to 40 feet wide using Mirage retractable screen systems built in Canada. These screens use heavy-duty reinforced aluminum frames and precision-engineered parts tested for over 250,000 cycles, delivering years of reliable performance even in Vancouver Island’s coastal weather.

Every screen is custom-built to your exact measurements and retracts completely out of sight when not in use. Whether you have bi-fold doors opening onto a deck, a covered patio, or a commercial space with oversized entries, we have a solution that protects without compromising your view.

Sun & Shades provides free in-home consultations across the Comox Valley and Vancouver Island. We measure, recommend, and install with direct-to-customer pricing. Call 250-884-2005 or get a free quote at sunandshades.ca today.
