Which mesh do you need?

Your screen’s mesh gives you a surprising amount of control over what comes in and out of your space. Choose a tighter or looser weave for your ideal combination of air, light, heat and bugs.

Insect Mesh

Whether it’s horseflies or no-see-ums, our insect meshes come in a variety of weaves to keep out whatever’s bugging you. It’s also the most open type of mesh, so it provides more ventilation and visibility while reducing up to 55% of UV rays.

Openness: 58%
Sun/UV blockage: Up to 40%
Phifer 20/20 Insect Mesh - Charcoal

Solar Mesh

A tighter mesh provides shade that reduces the sun's glare and heat in your space. While all our meshes block UV rays to some extent, solar meshes can block out up to 65% of UV rays, while still allowing air flow.

Privacy Mesh

Keep harsh sun and looky-loos at bay with a finely-woven privacy mesh. These screens can block up to 95% of UV rays, and are available in multiple colors and fabrics. They're Greenguard-, lead-free-, and Microban-certified.

Which mesh do you need?

Our screens for oversized doors come with captured mesh—that is, the mesh is completely secured in its track for extra sturdiness—to help prevent blow-outs and contain curious pets.

Insect Mesh

Our insect meshes come in a variety of weaves to keep out whatever's bugging you. This is also the most open type of mesh, so it provides more ventilation and visibility while reducing up to 55% of UV rays. We also offer heavy-duty, pet-resistant insect meshes that are stronger than our regular insect meshes.

Latching handle

Chosen by 90% of our customers, it's quiet, easy to use and secure from unintentional openings.

Customizable stopping points

If you like, select one or more points anywhere along the track for your screen to stop at, so you can keep traffic flowing along with the breeze.
