The type of screen used on a lanai makes a world of difference. Various types of screens serve different functions for businesses and homeowners, so it is essential to know what you’re looking for when choosing screens for your lanai.
Screen Material Types
Aluminum Screens
Aluminum screens are both functional and long-lasting and are the most popular. They are durable and low-weight and allow air and natural light to enter your space. They require minimal cleaning and maintenance and do an excellent job of resisting rust and corrosion. These screens help to reduce the visibility into your home or office, providing you with all the privacy you could ask for.
Fiberglass Screens
Another popular screen type is fiberglass, commonly used in lanais, windows and doors. These screens are a cheaper alternative than other options. This material provides more flexibility and won’t tear immediately like other materials. Fiberglass allows air to flow freely through a room but keeps creatures such as insects out. Your room may also remain cooler with these screens because they do a better job of keeping sunlight out than other alternatives.
Copper-Bronze Screens
These types of screens are typically used in periodic and historic homes. They are rust-resistant, strong, and long-lasting and add a pop of color to a room. They provide ventilation and a see-through barrier and have a good balance of utility and design.
Stainless Steel Screens
These types of screens serve as a long-term investment in the integrity of your windows, doors or lanais. Made from one of the strongest metals, these screens are incredibly durable and can withstand all elements and damage. Even after many years of wear, these screens will remain as strong and rigid as they were when they were first installed. They stay incredibly heavy-duty and allow for excellent airflow, an unobstructed view, and the ability to withstand impacts.
Polyester Screens
Polyester ranks very high on the durability front and is worth the extra investment for the material. Polyester screens come with a vinyl coating that upgrades their durability to cuts and rips. These screens are 7 times stronger than other alternatives and are perfect for a home with pets.
