Enter the door width and height in inches. Formula: Door square footage = width × height ÷ 144 Example: 36 inches × 80 inches ÷ 144 = 20 sq. ft. Larger doors may cost more because they require more material, stronger framing, and additional handling during installation.Step 3: Choose Sliding Screen Door Type
