Eclipse Technologies Inc. was founded in 1999 by Jean St. Pierre. Based on his extensive experience in the home building products industry, St. Pierre recognized that retractable door and window screens offered many advantages to consumers. Following extensive research that focused on developing an aesthetically enhanced, next-generation retractable screen that would find ready acceptance in the marketplace, Eclipse began manufacturing and marketing AIRA in 1999. Since then, supported by a commitment to ongoing product innovation and complete customer satisfaction, Eclipse's sales have enjoyed steady year-on-year growth, and the company has earned wide recognition as a leader in the retractable screen industry.

AIRA(R) Retractable Screen Systems adds the "wow" factor to your home. That's why AIRA is the first choice among discerning homeowners who want the combination of greater outside visibility and impressive styling. They also enjoy AIRA's safe, reliable operation, and a wide range of option and color choices. You can select from 11 standard colors "powder coated" and customize AIRA to fit virtually any opening in your home. With AIRA, you have the freedom to choose.
