When it’s time to replace your window screen, the list of decisions you need to make can feel daunting. Do you have to match the screens in other windows at your house? What color is the right choice? Will this choice impact your curb appeal? What type of window screen should you use? Check one thing off your list of questions, and use this guide to help you decide what type of window screen mesh you should use.

What Type of Window Screen Should You Use?

CharFiber – Standard Fiberglass Mesh

CharFiber Fiberglass screens come standard on every window. Fiberglass screening is woven with a permanent glass yarn that’s been coated in protective vinyl. This ensures lasting color, flexibility, and beauty that won’t rust, stain, or corrode over time.

It’s the right choice for you if:

• You want a quality product you can count on at a lower price.
• You want to be able to let a fresh breeze inside. 
• Your window screen serves to keep pests and insects out.
• You don’t want your window screen to take away from your view outside.

ClearView – The Best Optics

Beautiful view? Check. Fresh breeze? Absolutely. Insects unwelcome? Yup. If you’re used to your window screen blurring your view outside, you can change your expectations with ClearView screens. The high-visibility design features a special coating that protects your viewing clarity by repelling rainwater and resisting dirt and grime.

ClearView Window Screens are the right choice for if you:

• Want as clear a view outside your window as possible. 
• Desire the best airflow and natural light inside.
• Need a screen that has a long life expectancy so you can count on it for years to come.
• Want to keep pests outside where they belong.
• Don’t want to worry about cleaning your window screen.
