We Have Mesh Options to Fit Every Need

BetterVue® insect screening with Water Shed Technology™ (Patent Pending) preserves optical clarity by shedding water and resisting dirt and grime for a sharp, more brilliant outward view.

It’s made of fiberglass screening with a protective vinyl to ensure lasting beauty, color and flexibility. With BetterVue you can have the best of both worlds – great outward visibility without sacrificing strength or durability. This high visibility screening provides a 20% better airflow, 20% more clarity, and better insect protection than standard bug mesh. It even improves light transmittance in low-E glass windows. It also has Microban antimicrobial protection which inhibits bacteria, mold and mildew on the screen. This window screen is also Greenguard, indoor air quality certified. BetterVue high visibility Insect Screen has passed 1200 hours of QUV accelerated weathering.

Phifer's bug mesh has been the standard for window screens for decades. It is made of vinyl coated fiberglass yarn that is woven with an 18 x16 thread count which creates openings tight enough to keep the insects out but still allows for adequate airflow and outward visibility.

As good as it has been for decades it is being phased out by Phifer's newer products which either offer better visibility and airflow like BetterVue and UltraVue or more durability like TuffScreen, Tuff-No See-Um or PetScreen.

Phifer TuffScreen® is heavy-duty, vinyl-coated polyester insect screening thatis three times stronger than standard fiberglass mesh. It is ideal for use in high exposure areas that are more prone to punctures or damage from anxious pets, rambunctious children, or harsh weather. Since TuffScreen® is so durable yet still offers good visibility it is ideal for screen rooms, sliding doors and the window that the cat likes to sit in.

Phifer PetScreen® is pet-resistant screening designed to be tear and puncture-resistant to resist damage by most dogs and cats. It is a remarkable seven times stronger than fiberglass mesh so it is ideal for use in sliding screen doors where dogs and cats often scratch to get in or out.

Like Super Solar, SunTex® 90 also blocks 90% of the sun’s heat and glare. The two main differences are that this heavy-duty solar screen is made of a thicker vinyl coated polyester yarn similar to TuffScreen & PetScreen so it is more durable than Super Solar but the view isn't as good.

The second difference is that there are several color and patern options to choose from.

It is ideal for exterior solar screens and sun shading applications where there are eminent threats from punctures or tears. It can also be used for exterior retractable or power screens but for that application we suggest using SunTex® 95 or 97.
