Fiberglass mesh is the standard material used on all Ply Gem operable windows and sliding patio doors. Additional screen mesh is available on select products for advanced benefits:

  • Aluminum Mesh increases protection against aggressive regional insects that can damage fiberglass mesh. Its charcoal finish reduces glare.
  • Solar Block Screen – Blocks 70% of the sun’s heat and damaging ultraviolet rays, which helps living spaces stay cooler, reduce energy costs and protect furnishings against fading.
  • Optimal Viewing Screen: This screen uses thinner fiberglass for maximum viewing and a tighter mesh pattern to keep out tiny insects.
  • Pet-resistant Screen – Available on patio doors, this durable vinyl-coated polyester is seven times stronger than traditional insect screening with excellent outward visibility.
