Everyday choice
Standard charcoal fiberglass
The base material for most rescreening jobs: familiar appearance, good airflow, insect protection, and practical replacement cost.
Screen mesh options
Start with the practical choice. Upgrade when it solves a real problem.
Standard charcoal fiberglass is the default material. Specialty mesh costs more and is recommended when durability, sun control, or visibility justifies the upgrade.
Paid upgrade
Pet-resistant mesh
A heavier material for homes where claws or everyday pet traffic regularly damage standard mesh.
Available by request
Solar screen
Designed to reduce more sun and glare. Visibility and airflow differ from standard mesh, so the room and exposure matter. Availability and price are confirmed before scheduling.
Available by request
Improved-visibility mesh
A finer-looking option for homeowners who place extra value on the view through the screen. Availability and price are confirmed before scheduling.
Choose by the problem
The best mesh is the one that fits how the opening is used.
Specialty mesh is not automatically better for every screen. It changes cost, appearance, airflow, durability, or sun control in different ways.
Normal everyday insect screen
Start with standard charcoal fiberglass.It is the practical default for familiar airflow, insect protection, appearance, and replacement cost.
Repeated claw or pet damage
Consider pet-resistant mesh.The heavier material costs more, but it may be worthwhile where standard mesh is repeatedly damaged.
Strong sun, glare, or view priority
Compare solar and improved-visibility mesh.They solve different problems. Solar mesh changes light and airflow; improved-visibility mesh prioritizes the view.
