A Tip to Help Your Screens Slide Up and Down the Track
General Maintenance for Retractable Screens
If your retractable screen is binding or getting stuck, here’s a simple maintenance tip:
- Check the Track: Dirt and dust can build up in the groove of the track, making the screen hard to slide. Cleaning it out with a hose can improve performance.
- Lubrication: Use a silicone-based lubricant to help the screen slide smoothly. Avoid oil-based products, as they attract more dirt and dust.
Regular cleaning can make a significant difference in screen functionality!

Another general maintenance tip for your retractable screens is if you’re rolling them up and down and notice that they’re binding or getting stuck. One thing to check is the track. Sometimes, dirt and dust build up in the groove, causing the screen to not slide well. Cleaning it out, even just with a hose to remove all the dirt, can make a big difference. A silicone-based lubricant can help the screen slide more easily, but avoid oil-based products, as they attract dirt and dust. The biggest improvement comes from cleaning the track.
