When you put screens in your windows or add a screen door, they're often made of a fine mesh that breaks and tears easily. In a home with kids or pets, their curiosity and rambunctious play make traditional screens impractical. To avoid frequent screen replacement, install a pet screen instead, and enjoy the following benefits.

Why You Should Install Pet Screens

1. Prevent Falls

A toddler or pet leaning on a window screen can push it out and fall to the ground below. A sturdy pet screen, which is designed to withstand the weight of children or animals, will keep your little ones and furry friends safely inside.

2. Keep Out Pests

Opening your windows to let in some light and air can help your home feel comfortable and fresh. However, if you have no screens or only damaged ones, you'll receive mosquitoes, flies, and other pests along with that fresh breeze. A pet screen will keep the insects outside.

3. Watch Your Yard

If you want to let your kids or pets play outside but don't want to sit out with them, an open door allows you to watch them. But without a screen, you're facing the same pest problems again—this time with an even larger area for them to fly or crawl inside.

4. Withstand Debris

In Hawaii's sometimes stormy weather, flying dirt, sticks, trash, and other objects can blow against your home. Traditional screens can tear with the force of these impacts, but pet screens will stay strong. They also hold up to pet’s clawing.
