What Customers Are Saying

Reviewers consistently highlight exceptional durability, reporting screens installed 15 or more years ago remain tight and have withstood hurricanes and harsh weather. Many emphasize the value and aesthetic appeal, describing the finished look as great and worth the investment. A few mention minor issues like plastic caps not snapping securely or scuffed components upon arrival, though these are viewed as manageable trade-offs for the system's overall performance and longevity.

Screen tight

Would Recommend

Product works well. You need to have a linoleum type cutter. Look on YouTube for how to install. The right tools make all the difference. It does take time to do but you can do custom size screens.

Doesn't work.

Would Not Recommend

Did not connect with top piece to hold screen in place. Screws had to be applied through vinyl, which caused it to crack. This was a total waste of money.

The fiberglass screen expands and sags over time.

Would Not Recommend

I installed the fiberglass screen using the mounting tracks with the proper rubber cord and tools on my screened-in-porch. All was good, tight and firm. However, after a few weeks, I noticed the screen starting to sag. When it was installed the weather was warm. Now, with the cooler weather, the screen seems to be expanding. How can that be? Heat causes expansion, right? The end result is, I went back and reinstalled the same screen. The tracking material made it easy to do this task. B...

Poor Quality product

Would Not Recommend

I installed the track on my porch framing and after the first sunny day it warped and became wavy. Extremely difficult to install white finish cover. Save your money and find a more stable product that will stand the test of time and the heat.

FILMY PRODUCT

WATCH THE PIECES BEFORE PURCHASING. I HAD TO RETURN A 1/3 OF THE STRIPS BECAUSE THE CHANNEL WAS CRUSHED (MAYBE PEOPLE HAD STEPPED ON THEM). ALSO NOTE THE ENDS THEY HAVE A BROKEN SECTION THAT WAS NOT SQUARE (LOOKS LIKE POOR CUTTING OPERATION AT THE FACTORY). ALSO EXTREMELY COSTLY, GO WITH STRIPS AND STAPLES YOU CAN REPLACE IT 3 TIMES FOR THE COST OF THIS

Best thing since sliced bread....

Would Recommend

I installed mine on the inside of the studs instead of the face and it worked out great. We actually like it better. I installed part of it last year, The screen is still tight and the caps are still locked even after Hurricane Florence. I like it because I could install it without help. I would recommend this to everyone.

easy to use and future repairs.

Would Recommend

It goes on just as easy as it looks cuts to size with a razor or tin snips. Made me look like a professional. Once installed if you need to replace the screen it will look just as good as the day it was installed without adding 50 staples to your nice porch.
