What Phifer screen is best for Florida lanais and pool enclosures?

For standard lanai and pool enclosures, Phifer fiberglass screen in charcoal provides the best outward visibility and insect protection. For areas with intense sun exposure, Phifer solar screen blocks up to 90% of heat. For homes with pets, PetScreen is 7x stronger than standard screen. Visit Family Hardware in Cape Coral or Fort Myers and our team will recommend the best option for your specific enclosure.

Does Phifer make screen that blocks no-see-ums?

Yes! Phifer offers a fine-mesh no-see-um screen specifically designed to block the tiny biting insects common in Southwest Florida. Standard screen has 18x16 mesh which is too open for no-see-ums — the finer 20x20 mesh keeps them out while still allowing airflow. Our team at Family Hardware can show you the difference and help you choose the right mesh for your area.

Does Family Hardware ship Phifer products nationwide?

Yes! We ship all Phifer products nationwide with free shipping on orders over $99. You can also pick up in-store at our Cape Coral or Fort Myers locations.

How to Choose the Right Screen Material

Fiberglass vs. Aluminum

Fiberglass: The most popular choice for windows, doors, and porches. Won't dent, crease, or oxidize. Flexible and easy to install. Best for standard residential applications.
Aluminum: Stronger and more rigid than fiberglass. Better for large-span enclosures and high-traffic areas. Resists sagging in wide openings but can oxidize in coastal environments.

Specialty Screen Selection

Solar Screen: Choose when sun heat and glare are your primary concern. Blocks 65-90% of solar heat depending on mesh density. Ideal for west and south-facing windows.
PetScreen: Choose when pets have access to screened areas. 7x stronger than standard screen. Available in charcoal and silver gray.
No-See-Um: Choose when tiny biting insects are a problem. Tighter mesh blocks no-see-ums and sand flies.
