If you have a dog or cat, standard screens don’t last. Claws scratch, noses push, and soon you have holes. Pet proof mosquito screens are built to withstand active pets. This guide explains why 304 stainless steel mesh is the only true pet‑proof solution.
Why Fibreglass and Polyester Fail
Fibreglass frays and tears with light scratching. PET polyester is better but still can be snagged by sharp claws. Both can be pushed out of the frame by a determined dog.
304 Stainless Steel Mesh – Virtually Indestructible
Heat‑treated stainless steel wire (0.5‑0.6mm) resists scratching, biting, and pushing. It won’t rust, even near the coast. Perfect for active households. Available in folding, retractable, and fixed screens.
Best Applications
- Sliding patio doors – folding screen with SS mesh.
- Single doors – retractable screen with SS mesh.
- French doors – bi‑parting folding screen.
Cost
304 stainless steel screens cost 2‑3 times more than polyester, but they last 10‑20 years instead of 1‑2. Long‑term they are cheaper.
Installation
Same as standard screens. Our frames are reinforced to handle the heavier mesh.
