Ray Bass, the inventor of SCREENEZE®, was frustrated with all of the available products and methods for screening a porch. Ray was installing screens on his own porch when he noticed a pucker in several panels after attaching the finish cap. When he attempted to remove the screen, he broke the cap and ripped the screen. He was left without an extra piece and forced to go back to one of the “big box” stores and retrieve a new one.

Ray knew there had to be a better way. He wanted a system that was self-stretching but above all, easy to repair. Ray started to work with different materials and fastening ideas. After several years, Ray landed on the idea of a two-part system: a base, which secures to a traditional timber-framed porch, and a cap, that secures and stretches the screen fabric when snapped into place. His concept became a reality and the idea became the patented SCREENEZE® system in 2002.

In 2003, a custom home builder, Dave Seuberling, was approached with SCREENEZE®. Having 25 years of experience in the construction business, he knew all about the frustrations with screen porches and was interested in seeing what this product had to offer. Once Dave saw this product in action, he realized that it would revolutionize screen porch installation, pushing the limits on design and industry requirements. He believed, and soon thereafter took the reigns!

Since then, Dave has dramatically expanded our product portfolio. In addition to SCREENEZE®, we have SNAPTRACK, Flatbar, Wedge, the Plinth Kit, the Sliding Screen Door, and the French Sliding Screen Door.
