The Mirage 3500: Engineered for Large Openings
Standard retractable screens work beautifully for conventional doors, but large openings present unique engineering challenges. The Mirage 3500 addresses these with specialized design features:
Zipper Track Technology: Unlike standard screens where mesh runs in open channels, the 3500 uses zipper-style tracks that hold the mesh securely in place at top and bottom. This prevents billowing and ensures insects can't find gaps.
Stop-Anywhere Functionality: The 3500 can stop at any point along its track—you're not limited to fully open or fully closed. Partially extend the screen for partial shade or airflow control.
Teflon-Infused Components: Mirage's signature smooth operation extends to the 3500, with Teflon-infused plastics ensuring effortless movement across even the widest spans.
Heavy-Duty Construction: Larger screens require stronger components. The 3500 features reinforced aluminum housings and industrial-grade internal mechanisms.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 3500 motorized?
The Mirage 3500 is a manual screen operated by hand. For motorized large opening solutions, ask us about the Mirage H4800 motorized screen system.
How does the zipper track system work?
The screen mesh has a beaded edge that locks into channels in the top and bottom tracks as the screen extends. This creates a secure seal that prevents insects from entering and keeps the mesh taut.
Can I install a 3500 myself?
Large opening screens require professional installation to ensure proper operation and warranty coverage. Our experienced team handles all 3500 installations in the Lower Mainland.
What if my opening is larger than 14 feet?
For openings up to 28 feet wide, we can install two 3500 units that meet in the center, similar to a French door configuration. Contact us to discuss your specific application.
