Everyday insect control
Standard fiberglass
A familiar, economical choice for many typical porch and window-screen applications.
Screen mesh options
Choose the view, airflow and durability your porch needs.
Mesh selection changes visibility, insect protection, strength, shade and daytime privacy. Best Screens helps match the material to the opening and how the space will be used.
Compare priorities
From clearer views to high-contact durability.
Visibility
BetterVue and UltraVue2
Designed to make the screen less visually prominent when preserving the view is the priority.
Tiny insects
No-See-Um mesh
Tighter mesh helps block smaller insects. Material and airflow tradeoffs should be considered for each porch.
Durability
TuffScreen and PetScreen
Stronger choices for higher-contact areas, active households and compatible pet applications.
Strength plus small-insect control
TuffScreen No-See-Ums
A durable small-insect mesh that can also add noticeable tint, shade and daytime privacy.
Solar control
SunTex 80 and SunTex 90
Designed for stronger shade, glare reduction and daytime privacy where solar exposure is a concern.
Mesh in a finished porch
The right mesh protects the opening without dominating the view.
Privacy note
Privacy changes with the light.
Darker and solar-control meshes can reduce the view into a porch during daylight while still allowing a clearer view from inside. The effect depends on the direction and intensity of light and can reverse at night when interior lights are on. These products provide daytime visual screening, not guaranteed privacy.
Where mesh is used
One choice can serve different systems.
Compatible mesh may be installed in extruded-aluminum framing, removable panels, ScreenEZE, window screens and other porch applications.
