Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a Genius retractable, disappearing screen?
 
Genius has a range of different cassette systems of retractable screens which are the most practical and versatile on the market today. They are comprised of a screen material (normally fiberglass screening) fixed to an aluminum center tube and to an aluminum sliding bar with which to pull the screen out of the cassette. The screen is normally tensioned by a spring mechanism and so, upon release it returns to the cassette, winding itself back onto the center tube ready for use again - safely hidden out of sight and out of harm's way.
2. What does it do for me?
 
If you are a Genius USER, it gives you complete and stylish protection from insects without compromising the function of your window or door, allowing in ventilation and light but keeping insects or unwanted visitors at bay. No need to keep fitting and removing screens when you need them – simply pull the retractable screen from its’ neat cassette and it’s ready for use, bringing the beauty of the outside, in.

If you are a Screen Concepts INSTALLER, it offers the most practical and efficient production system; gaining you profit and satisfied customers while saving you a great deal of preparation time and money through simple assembly and almost no scrap or large warehouse expense. These exclusive Genius features and benefits result in more time for you to sell and install.
3. Where can it be installed?
 
Screen Concepts provides the only System which can be installed quickly and easily on any existing frame. Our retractable screens are suitable for both domestic and commercial applications. They can generally be used for pulling down vertically in window spaces or pulling across horizontally in door spaces and can be fitted internally or externally as required.
4. How is a Genius Retractable Screen System assembled?
 
Just one cut with a circular saw and the cassette, center tube and screen, and the sliding bar is neatly and precisely cut through for immediate assembly. Simply measure and cut the guide profiles, add the appropriate accessories and the disappearing screen is ready for installation.
5. Is expertise or special tooling required?
 
The Genius Retractable Screen System can be assembled on any workbench by anyone and with no special tools. However, professional preparation and assembly with professional quality power tools is advised for the very best results if you have any doubts. The skills normally associated with practical fabrication will very quickly bring the preparation and assembly efficiency to a very high level, benefiting both the installer and the end user. All essential accessories are included with the kit.
6. How accurately must I cut?
 
The Genius Retractable Screen System is designed to be forgiving and will accept a few millimeters of tolerance in all measurements without compromising performance or looks. However, accuracy in measuring the opening should always be treated as important and transferring those measurements to the profiles before cutting, equally as important. Remember, measure TWICE, cut ONCE! Even wrongly cut material can still be used for a later installation in most cases.
7. How long does assembly and installation take?
 
Your Genius Retractable Screen System is prepared and assembled in a matter of minutes! Installation is also very quick and easy. The key is that there are only a few components, making the System so simple. After a while, preparation becomes almost automatic and with one cut, preparation seems practically done.
8. What makes the finished Genius Retractable Screen System so unique?
 
The answer lies in the heart of each System; the center tube and the screen, both are engineered to perfection. The design of the extruded aluminum tube is based on years of experience. The fiberglass screen is specifically engineered for use in our Systems and is the result of 8 years of development by Phifer Wire Products, the world’s largest weaver of insect screening. You can feel confident that the Genius Retractable Screen System is the absolute best available in the world today.
