Screens also offer shade and partial protection against the sun’s UV rays and heat. This keeps your porch cooler and protects your skin, making it a more comfortable hang out spot.

Screens protect you from debris
Screens are a great way to extend the life of your pool equipment and outdoor space because they keep out potentially harmful debris.
