Selecting window screen mesh for your home or office windows is not as simple as it once was because, today, there are plenty of choices in material, color, pattern, and texture. However, the trend is to use material to achieve consistency based on one’s needs and budget. For example, with DAPA products, you might use a fiberglass mesh screen or aluminum mesh screen. Or you could pair one material with the living room that runs along with the vegetation outside and choose another for the home office.
In addition to enhancing your windows’ look, the windows mesh screen type you choose can underpin your lifestyle. Aluminum screen mesh is most suited for areas with heavy traffic, such as a retail store. Fiberglass screen mesh is appropriate for all seasons and budget friendly as well.
