Performance and Visibility:
Choosing the right color can significantly impact your home’s curb appeal and interior comfort.
- Charcoal Mesh: Preferred by experts for its “invisible” qualities; the darker color absorbs light and reduces glare, providing the best outward visibility for views.
- Silver Gray Mesh: Offers a traditional look that complements many home aesthetics while maintaining high airflow and durability.
- Optimal Airflow: With a 59% openness rating, this mesh ensures excellent ventilation to help regulate indoor temperatures.
Installation Benefits:
Phiferglass® fiberglass mesh is often preferred over metal alternatives for its user-friendly installation process.
- Flexible Handling: Unlike aluminum, fiberglass has a “bounce back” quality that makes it resistant to permanent denting during installation.
- Phiferglass® can be easily cut with standard household scissors or a utility knife and secured with standard .125″ to .140″ spline into existing frames
