GEORGETOWN, S.C., March 10, 2003 - Screen Tight, a leading innovator in superior building material products, has introduced two new door styles to its Better Board Screen Door offering, according to Guerry Green, president. The Carolina and Springview Models, available this spring, add traditional flavoring to the company's increasingly popular lineup of doors.

Screen Tight added the new models in response to consumers' growing design savvy, coupled with a demand for long-lasting, low-maintenance products, according to Green. Made of solid cellular vinyl, each patented Better Board Vinyl Screen Door offers the look and feel of wood with the easy maintenance characteristics of solid vinyl. Each vinyl screen door can be cut and trimmed like wood for proper installation. There is never a need for painting, and with a solid white vinyl frame, the door retains a sleek, dent-resistant finish where handprints and residue are easily wiped clean.

Now available in fourteen designer styles, the Better Board Collection offers contractors and homeowners a better alternative to wood and aluminum screen doors. "Wood has drawbacks as it must be painted or coated repeatedly to protect it from the elements," said Green. "If made of less expensive woods, such as pine, it may split or warp easily and it may be attacked by mold and fungus. And aluminum doors are much more expensive. These factors drove the invention process as we worked to build a better, more affordable, long-lasting screen door. With our patented Screen Tight Porch Screening System, the product was a natural for us."

Screen Tight has continued to introduce new screen door styles as geographic distribution has expanded at a brisk pace. "The market appears to be evenly divided between traditional designs and the clean, simple contemporary styles," said Green. "We appeal to all tastes. While design preferences may vary, our market research indicates that contractors and homeowners nationwide prefer the easier installation and low-maintenance features of our vinyl screen doors. And, with retail prices ranging from $65 to $120, customers will be hard-pressed to find a better value. "

Located on the coast of South Carolina, Screen Tight is a leading provider of superior building material products for the home building industry. In 1991, the company invented a revolutionary new system for applying screen wire to an outdoor porch, patenting the Screen Tight Porch Screening System. In addition, Screen Tight took the simplicity of the screen porch door and dramatically improved this American classic through the application of solid cellulous vinyl.

The Screen Tight Porch Screening System and Better Board Screen Doors are offered through leading building material suppliers across the country including The Home Depot and Lowe's stores.
