Types of Patio Screens to Keep Your Home Bug-Free or Shaded All Year Long
As a homeowner, there are a number of different materials and designs that are available for patio screens. What is the best type of patio screen for you will depend on the climate, your budget, and personal taste. In this article, we will explore the different types of patio screens and their advantages and disadvantages.
Different types of patio screens are available to protect your home from bugs or keep it shaded all year long. Here are the most common types of patio screens:
Bug screens: These are just like they sound. Bug screens are mesh screens that keep bugs out of your home. They are not focused on the sun or the elements. As a by-product you should see throught them like a patio screen mesh roll. Long-lasting and weather-proof they offer great visibility but just keep out the bugs
Shade screens: Shade screens are mesh screens that keep the sun out of your home. Like bug screens with zipper-tracked systems they will keep out bugs. It is very important that you look for a zipper tracked system, a cable or a loose track will not keep out bugs, and will eventually wear out the mesh as it will act as a sail in the wind.
The material in shade screens is not fiberglass, in order to be temperature and weather stable they are a vinyl-coated polyester. While they still keep mosquitoes outs, they offer excellent UV protection and an experienced company will help with the fabric selection to make the most of your space.
Acrylic (plastic) Patio Enclosures
Acrylic patio enclosures are a type of screen that is made from a clear, hard plastic. They are popular because they allow a lot of natural light to pass through them, and they also provide a clear view of the outside. Acrylic patio enclosures are typically less expensive than other types of patio screens, but they also tend to be less durable.
Aluminum Patio Screens:
Aluminum patio screens are made from aluminum frames and screens. They are popular because they are very durable, and they can be customized to fit any size or shape patio. Aluminum patio screens are also relatively affordable, and they can be powder-coated to match any color.
Retractable Patio Screens:
Retractable patio screens are a type of screen that can be retracted into a housing when not in use. This allows you to have an unobstructed view of the outside when the screens are not in use. Retractable patio screens are typically made from aluminum, and they are very durable - but do not ask a landscaping professional or a company used for general construction to help with the installation. A contractor that specialized in retractable patio screens is incredibly important in this niche.
