I can imagine that my wife would be very happy with that info, our last 
door had luvers, which I love, but was twice that price.

 it
 is in front of the other window. So when it is pulled down for the screen
 you are looking through two pieces of glass. When the window is closed, in
 the up position, there is a split glass window. The door is a Larson now
 made by Pella.
 Because of all of the glass there are two door closer units one at top and
 bottom.

 But where do you store the pane when not in use?
 Does that slide into a hollow in the door?
