Know before you buy
This screen is specifically engineered for large openings like pool enclosures and patios. It uses a heavier .013 core yarn, making it significantly more durable and resistant to the wear and tear typically seen in large-scale outdoor installations.
The STIFF version is designed with extra rigidity to prevent sagging over long spans. It is an ideal choice for large screen panels where maintaining a taut, clean appearance is a priority.
While the 18x14 mesh is robust, it is designed to maintain good visibility. You will still have a clear view of your surroundings while benefiting from the added strength and insect protection.
The fiberglass construction is inherently resistant to mildew and rot. This makes it a reliable choice for pool areas and other outdoor spaces exposed to moisture and high humidity.
Charcoal is generally preferred for its superior glare reduction and ability to blend into the background, making it nearly invisible from the inside. Silver-Gray offers a lighter, more reflective aesthetic that can help brighten an enclosure.
Yes, you can use it for windows, but keep in mind that it is heavier and thicker than standard insect screening. It is best suited for large window openings or doors where extra durability is needed.
