What is pet screen and when should I use it?
Pet screen is a durable screening material designed for areas where standard screen may be vulnerable to scratching, tearing, or punctures. It is a practical choice for homes with dogs or cats and for high-traffic screen doors and enclosures.
What sizes of pet screen are available?
U-Build-It offers Pet Screen in 36-inch and 48-inch roll widths, as well as a 36-inch cut piece option. Choosing the appropriate width depends on the size and configuration of your screen frame.
Can pet screen be used for screen doors and pool enclosures?
Yes. Pet screen can be used in applications such as screen doors, patios, porches, and pool or lanai enclosures where additional resistance to pet-related damage is desired.
What is Florida Glass screen and where can it be used?
Florida Glass is a specialty screening material that can provide additional privacy while still allowing light to enter. It can be useful for selected areas of patios, porches, and screen enclosures where greater privacy is desired.
How do I choose between standard screen and pet screen?
Consider how the screened area will be used. Standard screen may be suitable for typical insect protection, while pet screen is a better option when the screen needs greater resistance to scratching, tearing, and everyday pet activity.
How do I install and maintain specialty screen material?
Specialty screen is generally installed by securing the material into the frame with the appropriate spline and screening tools. Keep the screen clean with mild soap and water and avoid abrasive products that could damage the mesh or finish.
