Guide to Selecting the Right Type of Screen for Your Screen Room
If you love being outdoors but also enjoy the amenities of home living, then a screen room can be the perfect addition to your home. You can enjoy beautiful weather while avoiding pesky gnats and other annoying insects. But once you’ve decided to add a screened sun room, there are some important decisions you have to make regarding the type of screen you’ll use. Below are a few of the most common screen room options. While reading about the types of screens can be useful, don’t hesitate to ask your contractor about the specific screen that will best fit your climate and region.
Fiberglass: If protecting against insects is your biggest concern, then fiberglass screens will suit your needs just fine. Fiberglass is an inexpensive, durable option that won’t crease or dent like aluminum. Additionally, fiberglass is more opaque than aluminum, which can be beneficial if you live in a sunnier area.
SuperScreen: SuperScreen is a UV-tolerant option for your screen room. It is resistant to fading, flaking, and becoming brittle due to sun exposure. In addition to its durability, SuperScreen is coated with biocide, which prevents the growth of bacteria, fungus, and mildew.
BetterVue: If you want to leave your beautiful view unobstructed by an insect screen, then BetterVue is a good option. BetterVue is made of very fine fibers that improve a screen’s openness and visibility.
Insect Screen: Sometimes the smallest of insects can penetrate a screen’s mesh. With an insect screen, the holes in the mesh are fine enough to keep those tiny pests out of your sun room.
