Screen

Screen is the material used to cover screened enclosures in order to protect you from insects and critters, and the inside of the enclosure from outside debris. It can be made out of different materials: fiberglass, aluminum, stainless steel, brass, etc. Fiberglass screen is the one used the most for screen enclosures.

Fiberglass insect screen is woven from permanent glass yarn and coated with a protective vinyl to ensure lasting beauty, color and flexibility. It's very resistant to combustion and will not rust corrode or stain. Lifespan is 7 to 10 years depending on location, weather and sun exposure.

There are different types of fiberglass screen: regular 18x14 mesh, No-See-Ums 20x20 mesh, Florida-Glass or privacy screen, sun or shade screen for sun control, pet-screen, super-screen, etc. They all serve different purposes: budget, small insect control, privacy, shade, protection against pets, longevity of the screen, etc.
We will give you more information about each one of them in later postings.
