Are Lifestyle Garage Screens Effective for Keeping Insects Out?

Yes, lifestyle garage screens are highly effective at keeping insects out of your garage. Unlike loose mesh or magnetic curtains, the lifestyle system uses a fully framed design that seals tightly against your garage door tracks. This creates a solid barrier that stops flies, mosquitoes, and other pests from getting inside while still allowing fresh air to flow through your space.

Why Lifestyle Screens Are Best for Bug Control

A lifestyle screen is more than just a piece of mesh. It is a secondary door system built to stop pests of all sizes. Here is why this system works so well for homeowners in Florida:

  • Full Frame Seal: The aluminum frame fits snugly against your existing garage door opening to leave no gaps for bugs.
  • High-Quality Mesh: You can choose tight-weave mesh that stops even the smallest gnats and no-see-ums.
  • Bottom Weather Stripping: A thick seal at the bottom closes the gap between the screen and your concrete floor.
  • Built-in Entry Door: You can enter or exit through the center door without retracting the whole screen, which keeps the bug barrier intact.
  • Professional Alignment: Our team ensures the system is perfectly level so insects cannot crawl through the sides.

  • Are lifestyle garage screens effective for keeping insects out?

    Yes. These screens are built to create a tight seal around the entire edge of your garage opening. Because the frame is made of sturdy aluminum and fits your specific door size, there are no loose edges or gaps that allow flies or mosquitoes to sneak past.

  • Can tiny bugs like no-see-ums get through the screen?

    We offer different types of mesh depending on your needs. If you live near water or deal with very small biting bugs, you can choose a finer mesh designed specifically to stop no-see-ums while still letting in plenty of fresh air.


  • Does the screen leave a gap at the bottom of the garage floor?

    No. The system includes a heavy-duty seal at the bottom. This flexible piece adjusts to the shape of your concrete floor to block crawling insects and debris from getting underneath the screen.

  • How does the door-in-door feature help with bug control?

    Traditional screens often require you to lift the whole unit just to walk outside, which lets bugs fly in. The lifestyle system has a built-in retractable door in the middle. You can step in and out quickly, keeping the rest of the garage protected.


  • Can Door Master Clinic install these screens on any garage door?

     We can install these systems on most standard garage doors. Our team will measure your space to ensure the fit is perfect, which is the most important part of keeping your garage a bug-free zone.
