All screen materials will serve the same purpose: protecting the area from debris and insects. If you’re looking for screen fabric that will last and provide more benefits than any other, fiberglass screen mesh is the right fit for your patio cage or enclosure.

After 22 years in the business, Moreno & Moreno know a thing or two about the best materials for screen installations in Central Florida. From considerations regarding the weather to the type of critters that are common to the area, we’ve come to the conclusion that fiberglass screen mesh is the right fit for local screen enclosures.

Cost Effective

Fiberglass screen mesh is meant to last for decades, removing any repetitive maintenance that can become costly over time.

Unlike other screen mesh fabric, fiberglass bounces back and won’t dent or crease easily when force is applied. You don’t have to worry about the mesh when children are around and may be playing with it or when you bump into it occasionally.

Noncombustible

Planning on grilling in your screen patio cage? No problem! Fires and smoke won’t affect the integrity of the fiberglass mesh. It can withstand extreme temperatures without weathering away and is flame retardant. 

Because fiberglass mesh is fireproof and doesn’t adhere to extreme temperatures, it is great for insulation. Fiberglass screen mesh doesn’t corrode or rust because of its ability to be unaffected by water because of the lack of iron in the material.


Environmentally friendly

Having fiberglass screen mesh as the material for your screen installation is a sustainable choice. The main component in fiberglass is sand, which is a non-depleting resource. Also, because of its longevity, using this material will not cause a major addition to landfill.


In conclusion

Other materials may be able to do the basic function of protecting your patio from the outdoor elements and insects, but they may not provide you the exclusive benefits that fiberglass comes with. Fiberglass is the most affordable and beneficial material to use for your screen installation.
