What color garage screen preferred
 
We’are thinking of adding a garage screen for ventilation and to cool the garage. I say a white screen helps deflect sun rays, is cooler and not see-through. Honey wants black. He says in our villas everything is white—true—but boring. I will appreciate opinions whether you have a screen or not. TIA

Our screen is white, the garage door is white. I have been told that the color black absorbs the sun rays, while white reflects them. However, I wouldn’t have anything to compare it to unless I put in a black screen.

Don’t know what else to tell you.

White is our preference

Orange, so your wife doesn't run into it.


Oooooooooooooo, am I going to pay for that one.

I agree, white is boring

If you don't want everyone to see what is in your garage, choose WHITE. A black screen doesn't block your vision and you can see right through it, but a white screen blocks your vision and all you see is the screen. Don't believe it, try looking at a white garage door screen and someone's black screen bird cage.

White or Beige will afford you more privacy over the black screen.

Bjeanj 07-06-2018 05:52 PM

Are there colors other than white, black, beige (and orange :-) )?

What other options are there?

I like my garage screen strong and black!

I like white but then worry it will get dirty or be hard to clean,

Everyone on my street has the lighter colors ( white or beige ) and it looks nice.

We have our screen washed when we have the house cleaned.

I agree
And the installer also said the lighter color screen is much more private

I vote for black. I matches all my other lanai screens

I know it may have been pointed out in jest, but the black screen more resembles an opening, and therefore not as safe. The white or light color more resembles the closed door.

With just the screen in place, do you really WANT the door to look open?

My $0.02

Exactly. The lighter colors are definitely aesthetically pleasing, and offer a great deal of privacy.
