An active household, along with furry friends can make keeping an intact screen seem impossible! Not any more. DIY Screens Direct has the solution you need: Phifer PetScreen! It’s the best heavy duty pet resistant screen material that allows you all of the fresh air you desire without pesky insects or constant replacement. Now that’s worth it!

How strong are pet screens?
Pets are cute, cuddly creatures. Yet with their sharp nails and teeth they can cause a lot of damage to your screens which is why pet screens are designed with durability in mind. Made from polyester yarn coated with PVC that’s about seven times stronger than regular screen material, this animal-resistant screen fabric will stop your cats or dogs from tearing up your home!

Is pet screen stronger than aluminum?
PetScreen is made from vinyl coated polyester, which makes it much stronger than traditional fiberglass or aluminum screening. In fact, it’s 7 times more durable and strong than your average screen mesh!

Dogs and cats make wonderful companions for your family, but even the most well-behaved pet can wreak havoc on your home on occasion. For example, the screens surrounding your pool or patio enclosure may have suffered some shredding from the claws of your pets, significantly weakening the screens and potentially leaving a hole for escape. Fortunately, a Phifer pet screen offers durability far beyond the strength of regular screens. A look at the differences and similarities between the two screen materials can help you understand the value of pet screen for your home.

Construction and Material
Pet screens are designed with the destructive potential of pets in mind. The materials used are strong and resistant to the claws of a cat or the brute strength of a dog. The screen is constructed from polyester yarn coated with PVC, making it about seven times stronger than regular screens. By comparison, cheaper enclosures and screen doors are constructed with the same lightweight materials used to make window screens.  If you have a dog or cat, it’s vital to invest in pet screen for your pool or patio enclosure.

Visibility, Airflow and Pests
Some homeowners are concerned that the durable materials used in pet screens will reduce the visibility and airflow in their pool or patio enclosure. Although the individual strands that make up a dog or cat proof screen are thicker, the strands are placed further apart to avoid significantly impacting visibility and airflow. You may notice some slight visual differences between regular screens and pet screens, but the difference is negligible for most people.  You’ll still be able to enjoy the fresh air in your enclosed patio without worrying about your cat or dog destroying the screen enclosure.

Many homeowners choose to enclose their pools and patios to avoid harassment and bites from perpetually present pests. Although the gaps between strands are wider in pet screens, they’re still close enough together to protect you and your family from pests.

Simple Installation
The process for installing pet resistant screens is exactly the same as the process for regular screens. Existing door and enclosure frames can be refitted with pet screens. If you have a regular screen that is beginning to fail due to your pets, you can have it replaced easily.

Phifer Screens has so many high-quality screen materials to choose from. See all the types of Phifer Screens we use to provide you the best solution for your needs.
