Fiberglass
Durable and Affordable: One of the most common and cost-effective materials for window screens.
Corrosion Resistant: Fiberglass screens do not rust, making them ideal for areas with high moisture or humidity.
Flexible and Easy to Handle: Lightweight and available in various weave sizes and colors.
Best for: Standard home windows in mild climates. Not ideal for high-traffic areas due to lower durability compared to metal screens.
Aluminum Screens
Strong and Durable: More durable and long-lasting than fiberglass screens, resistant to punctures and tears.
Weather-Resistant: Can withstand exposure to the elements, making them ideal for harsh climates.
Sharp and Sturdy: Slightly more rigid and prone to denting, but holds shape well.
Best for: High-traffic or outdoor areas that require a sturdier screen, or in areas with extreme weather conditions.
Pet-Resistant Screens
Extra Durability: Designed to resist scratches, tears, and damage from pets' claws.
Thicker and Heavier: More durable than fiberglass or aluminum, but may reduce airflow slightly due to the thicker weave.
Long-Lasting: Ideal for homes with pets or areas subject to heavy wear and tear.
Best for: Pet owners or areas where screens are likely to be damaged by pets or children.
