PET GRILLS EXTEND THE LIFE OF FIBERGLASS SLIDING SCREEN DOORS

Fiberglass screening is standard in most windows and doors and is the preferred insect screening in the fenestration industry.  Besides being durable, fiberglass screens project good outward visibility and allow good ventilation.  Fiberglass screen is easy to install and is very long lasting; however, standard fiberglass screening is not fabricated to withstand abuse from pet cats or dogs and small children. Toddlers can be hard on these screens because they usually lean and pound on door screens pushing them out of the channel and eventually fraying the ends.  Pets inevitably jump up onto the screens scratching them and breaking the fibers, particularly during warm weather when people tend to open their doors and windows.  If you already have existing fiberglass screens and you have pets or children, you may want to safeguard your fiberglass screen doors.

Pet grills make the best screen protectors.  Attaching pet grills to your aluminum frame door extends the life of the screen by protecting it from children and pets.  However, pet grills do not protect fiberglass screens from another hazard—weathering.  If you live in arid climate, with time fiberglass screens tend to get hard and brittle from direct sun exposure.  Over a period of time, exposure to the sun wears off the material coating on the screen, leaving patches of white fiberglass strands exposed.  The good news is that even though sun exposure eventually takes its toll on fiberglass, it will last many, many years before it wears out.
