WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT A NEW SCREEN DOOR?
Well, there really have been no improvements or innovations to the classic American screen door. The method of construction and the material (usually wood) have basically always been the same. As prime wood has become scarcer the overall quality of screen doors in America has actually decreased. There are certainly some well made wood screen doors available, but the average screen door is constructed with fingerjointed wood strips that are a byproduct of another operation.
EXACTLY WHAT IS SCREEN TIGHT'S NEW DOOR MADE OF?
The new door is composed of expanded closed cell vinyl profiles extruded at Screen Tight's plant in Georgetown, SC. Screen Tight has developed a proprietary process that results in an extremely durable and workable product. The components are assembled via dowel & glue construction. In summary, Screen Tight produced a Better Board which builds a better screen door.
WHY WOULD A CONSUMER WANT A NEW TYPE OF SCREEN DOOR?
Anyone who has lived with a typical screen door for any length of time would not ask this question because they have battled torn screens, difficult replacement and repair of screen, sagging, nightmarish painting, rot, and swelling wood components that at times make the door difficult to open and close.
WILL THE NEW SCREEN DOOR RADE OR YELLOW?
Everything fades over time, however, PVC compound has been used in windows, siding and numerous other outdoor building product applications for years. The Screen Tight profiles are comprised of the same amount of UV stabilizers found in these proven products.
