The fiberglass material used for enclosure screens are made by Phifer<\/a>. Standard fiberglass screen is an 18 x 14 mesh.\u00a0 A 20 x 20 mesh is also available that’s designed to stop no-see-ums also known as sand flies or sand gnats. It can be installed on screen enclosures, windows, and sliding screen doors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

PROS<\/strong><\/span>: 18×14 screen has better visibility and air flow.\u00a0 20×20 screens stops no see ums and pine needles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

CONS<\/strong><\/span>: 20×20 screens reduces visibility and air flow.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For this material we use the original manufacturer of Super Screen which is made by Twitchell<\/a>.\u00a0 This screen is a superior upgrade to the traditional fiberglass screen. It is fabric woven with a specially formulated UV resistant coating allowing it to last 3X longer than traditional screen.\u00a0 It is pet resistant, animal\/reptile resistant (claw marks).\u00a0 It’s also a great investment for enclosures on a golf coarse because it is golf ball resistant with a 300% ball burst strength compared to traditional fiberglass screen.\u00a0 It is woven in a 17×14 mesh so it looks just like traditional screen. Can be installed on patio enclosures, windows, and sliding screen doors.<\/p>

PROS<\/strong><\/span>: Strong, lasts longer, resists animal damage and golf balls\u00a0<\/p>

CONS<\/strong><\/span>: about 5% reduction in visibility\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Pet screen is a durable, thicker woven mesh made specifically for screen enclosures to keep pets safely contained while letting air and light through. It’s tougher than standard fiberglass screen, reinforced with vinyl-coated polyester, so it resists clawing or tearing from cats, dogs, other critters or weed whackers. Installs in the bottom 3 foot panels perfect for patios, porches, or dog runs.<\/p>

We use Twitchell’s<\/a> version of a shade screen. The shade screen is a combination of the fine, super, and pet screen.\u00a0 It is a polymer formula screening with a denser mesh pattern that provides an 80% sun blockage against the intense Florida sun due to the denser mesh pattern.\u00a0 We choose to only carry the 80% version because it provides the best protection and visibility. The 90% becomes more of a wall than a screen.<\/p>

PROS<\/strong><\/span>: 80% sun protection, visibility compared to other brands, strong, pet resistant<\/p>

A standard 18×14 mesh fiberglass screen that has a semi transparent vinyl laminate.\u00a0 It’s designed for the bottom 3 foot panels to stop dirt and water spashing onto the patio. It can also be used as a privacy screen.<\/p>
