Window Screen
Window Screen can be made with several types of screen material or fabric. Different color choices are available depending on the type of window screens. For insect protection, we offer standard fiberglass window screens, aluminum window screens, no-see-um screen for the tiny insects and solar insect screen for double duty of keeping out the bugs and helping block heat.
Aluminum screen frames around the outside edges hold it all together. The frame choices include several common sizes as well as color choices of white, bronze, tan, champagne and silver.
Although some areas of the country may have some common sizes, there are none considered "standard size" or type window screens. All orders for window screens are custom made to your specifications. They may be half screens for single hung or horizontal slider windows, full size window screens for double hung or wooden windows or casement window screens that attach on the inside.
Fiberglass Window Screen
The most common type of window screens are made with insect screen material made of vinyl coated fiberglass. It is standard on most new construction homes and apartments. It also makes a great economical replacement window screen on older homes. Fiberglass is a very forgiving fabric that springs back into shape if pushed on or bumped accidentally. The vinyl coating assures that your window screens will last longer exposed to the weather elements.
Aluminum Window Screen
Found on many older homes, aluminum window screens are durable, resists rust and sagging. The aluminum screens have a protective coating that prevents corrosion and strengthens the mesh. Great for matching existing aluminum window screens or upgrades. The black color aluminum screen has been known for it's good outward visibility among standard type insect screens.
No-See-Um Window Screen
These special window screens have a fiberglass mesh that is tighter than standard to help keep out smaller insects such as sand fleas and the no-see-um bugs typically found in coastal or marshy areas. The mesh count (threads per square inch) is 20 x 30 as compared to the standard 18 x 16 mesh insect screens.
Solar Insect Window Screen
Similar to the no-see-um mesh, the solar insect window screens also have a 20 x 30 mesh fiberglass. They look similar to a standard window screen when installed on your windows, but only slightly darker. The solar insect window screens help cool your home by blocking up to 60% of the sun's heat before it reaches the window glass. This translates in to cooler rooms and lower cooling costs in warm climat
