Types of Pool Cage Screen Materials
The screen material you choose impacts the overall performance and longevity of your enclosure. Here are the most popular types available to Florida homeowners:
1. Standard Mesh Screening
- Material: Typically made of fiberglass.
- Benefits: Offers excellent airflow and visibility, making it a popular choice for most pool enclosures.
- Use Case: Ideal for general insect protection and everyday use.
- Durability: Designed to withstand strong sun and high humidity, but may require replacement after several years of exposure.
2. No-See-Um (20/20) Fine Mesh Screens
- Material: Tightly woven fiberglass mesh with 20 strands per inch.
- Benefits: Specifically engineered to keep out tiny pests like no-see-ums and sandflies, which are common in coastal Florida areas.
- Use Case: Perfect for homeowners seeking superior insect protection without sacrificing airflow.
- Durability: Slightly less airflow than standard mesh but excellent for comfort and peace of mind.
3. Super Screen
- Material: Advanced polyester or vinyl-coated polyester.
- Benefits: Offers remarkable strength, tear resistance, and UV protection. Super Screen can last twice as long as traditional fiberglass mesh.
- Use Case: Recommended for homes in storm-prone areas or for families with pets that may scratch or push against the screen.
- Durability: Retains color and integrity over time, making it a premium long-term investment.
4. Florida Glass and Privacy Screens
- Material: Laminated fiberglass mesh with a plastic film coating.
- Benefits: Provides both privacy and water resistance, making it perfect for lower enclosure panels or areas facing neighbors.
- Use Case: Popular for homeowners who want to block out prying eyes or shield their pool from wind-blown debris.
