Yes, It\’s True! Not all Screens are Created Equal

Phifer is the only brand of screen that lasts for 10-12 years a quality, durable material for your screen enclosure. Phifer screen is idea for patio enclosures or pool enclosures.

Since 1952, Phifer has been a leader in the screen making industry and is today the world s largest supplier of woven fiberglass pool screening. Once a patio or pool screen enclosure is built or replaced with Phifer Solar Insect Screen, you may expect up to 10-12 years of maintenance free screening to protect and beautify your home.

Why using PHIFER BRAND screens makes a difference

No other screen material offers total protection from the elements, insects and harsh solar rays. Simply stated, Phifer screens are built to last and perform better than any other product on the market. While using an inferior screening product may look the same when the job is complete, within just a few years that same screen may begin to mildew, fade and tear easily. A Phifer screen maintains that like-new look, feel and performance for a decade or more.

What is Phifer Solar Insect Screen?

Solar Insect Screen offers you the best insect protection to keep bugs and backyard critters away from your pool, deck and home. Dulando Screen and Awning uses Fiberglass 20 20 no-see-um screen to provide the maximum protection vs. standard fiberglass or aluminum screen.

Mesh count in a screen is very important. When understanding how the insect screen works, it s important to know what mesh count means as it relates to protection. This is the number of openings per linear inch on the screen. The mesh is counted by starting from the center of one wire or yarn and counting the number of openings to a point one linear inch away.

For Example: 8 X 8 mesh indicates that, in one linear inch, there are eight (8) openings. This is a standard screen. A 20 X 20 mesh indicates that in one linear inch, there are twenty (20) openings and the No-Seeums (20 20 Mesh) is of the highest quality is for those pesky no-seeums. The product s design uses finer yarns in a tighter mesh. The design creates more holes per square inch (20 x 20) which, in turn, improves ventilation and optical clarity. The result is better performing insect screen. Dulando Screen and Awning uses 18 x 14 as a standard screen.

Both the Solar Insect Screen and Glas-Shield products are designed specifically for pool screen enclosure applications where extra strength, small insect prevention, and reduction of wind-blown debris are key factors in protecting a home and pool.
