| I don't believe the mesh is any different qauge, what I have scene is Blue in color which make it less visible, I had quoted it several times for Marvin screens and from I recall it was an additional $8.00(i believe)a SQ FT more |

| Interesting, the ads I've seen for Milgard and Andersen make it look like (and/or imply) it's a smaller gauge. If you're saying I can spray paint my existing screens blue and it will essentially be the same as the Andersen/Milgard/Marvin screens that is interesting info. |

| Actually a couple of months ago I requested online at Andersen's site to get a sample of their screen material which the site indicates they'll mail me for free and I never got it. That would have been interesting to put it next to my basic screens to see if gauge looked any difference and/or see if Andersen screen looks blue. |

| Its more then the blue color it just appears to be blue in color |

| Very good question as I am wanting to buy some our front door. I received a sample from Andersen and the screen is a much smaller diameter material and the spacing is approximately 2/3 the width of the normal stuff. My interest is that it appears much stronger, and I would like to find screen that provides a bit more security than normal material. I know, I know it will still be screen but if is a bit more robust it might make someone think twice when I have the door open and in a back room. Suggestions? |

| Actually, none of these products is new. Pella and Anderson act like high visibility mesh has just been discovered, and they discovered it. But it is widely available. Search "High-Visibility Window OR Insect Screening" or "High-visibility mesh" in Google. One good source is TWP, although they may sell only to the trade. Take a look at the TWP Web Page for more information. Good luck. |
