Which Screen Fabric Is Right for You? A Breezy Guide to Picking Your Porch's Perfect Match
At Screeneze®, we know that one size doesn't fit all—especially when it comes to screening in your porch. Whether you're dealing with nosey neighbors, enthusiastic pets, biting bugs, or just want to enjoy the view, we've got a screen for that.
Here’s a breakdown of our 6 screen fabric options, plus the type of homeowner or lifestyle each one suits best:
1. ULTRAVUE – For the “I want to feel outside” Homeowner
If you’re all about the view and want to forget there’s even a screen there, ULTRAVUE is your match. Designed for maximum optical clarity and airflow, it's perfect for those who want crisp, clear scenery with minimal screen interference. Water Shed Technology™ helps it stay clean and dry.
Ideal for: Scenic settings, peaceful porch loungers, and view-lovers who don’t want bugs crashing the party.
2. BetterVue – For the Natural Light Enthusiast
Like a screen that lets in all the fresh air and natural light? BETTERVUE offers enhanced openness without sacrificing insect protection. Also featuring Water Shed Technology™, this one’s a great everyday option for letting your porch shine.
Ideal for: Homeowners who love a sunny, airy porch and want to feel those breezes without bugs tagging along.
3. Fiberglass – For the Easy-Breezy Traditionalist
The classic choice for many, FIBERGLASS screens offer solid insect protection with a bit more thickness than the high-visibility options. It’s reliable, durable, and provides extra strength.
Ideal for: Homeowners looking for a dependable, no-fuss screen that gets the job done—perfect for everyday porches, seasonal retreats, or anyone who wants classic comfort and solid bug protection.
4. NO-SEE-UM – For the Bug Haters
This tightly woven mesh keeps out the tiniest of pests—yes, even those invisible no-see-ums and gnats. Despite the fine weave, it still offers decent visibility and airflow.
Ideal for: Anyone who wants serious bug protection without sacrificing comfort—great for porches near water, wooded areas, or anywhere tiny pests like to crash the party.
5. TuffScreen® – For the Rough-and-Tumble Crew (Kids & Pets Included)
This heavy-duty option is built to withstand paw swipes, accidental bumps, and even harsh weather. It’s pet-resistant, durable, offers some daytime privacy, and is backed by a 10-year warranty.
Ideal for: Families with kids, playful pets, or homes in storm-prone areas.
6. Textilene® – For the Long-TermER
This screen fabric is all about longevity and UV protection. With 50% UV blockage and superior resistance to punctures and tears, it stands up to intense sun and wear. It also also excellent for pet resistance and offers some daytime privacy. It won’t fade or flake and comes with a 15-year limited warranty.
Ideal for: Homeowners in hot, sunny climates or anyone wanting a screen that works hard—and lasts even longer.
