Different screen materials have different purposes, and their costs will vary accordingly. Common screen types include:
Fiberglass: Typically gray or black, fiberglass is the most common and usually the most affordable.
Aluminum: Typically either reflective or black, aluminum usually costs slightly more than fiberglass.
Solar screen: Usually gray or black, but often available in bronze or other colors, solar screen is more expensive but can protect your home’s interior from sun damage in hot climates.
Pet screen: Pet screens also cost more than fiberglass or aluminum, but are designed to be tough enough to resist scratching and other pet damage, which means they won’t need to be replaced as frequently.
