All of them are 48 X 84 inches.
Yes, without a doubt. Arizona is where I call home. I'm in the sun's valley, and my security door is screened. Unless I pressed my face against the screen, I couldn't see into the house from outside. It works wonders at keeping gnats, sunlight, and nosy neighbors at bay.

I bought this on Amazon, expecting it to be the same mesh-like material. similar to the Home Depot brand I purchased (and used up). First and foremost, I later discovered this exact same product, dimensions and all, for HALF the price on Home Depot's website. 16 dollars and a few cents here- At Home Depot, it costs $7. So, to start, I recommend that you buy it there (assuming the price does not go up). Having said that, this stuff works reasonably well. The original product I was using (I wish I could remember the name of the company) had a very tight fit. a densely woven pattern that effectively blocks light Take a look at a wicker basket, for example. That's the way it was woven. The Saint-Germain-des-Pres The product from Saint-Gobain, on the other hand, is not woven. Like a regular bug screen, the pattern is woven together with small squares. It blocks a little more light than regular bug screens, but not nearly as much as the wicker basket screens I used to have. Another drawback is the long-term viability of the product. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER I patched it up with some tape and was fine with it, but you should be aware. It was a small slip on my part. br>br>One advantage of this product is that it is actually more user-friendly. It's more difficult to get the spline in place due to the thickness of the wicker basket material. Because this material is flat and thin, it was much easier to work into the groove.
This product was first introduced to me at a local home improvement store. I bought it here because it had the same part number as Amazon and was cheaper. When I got the product, I noticed that the pattern in the Amazon picture and the product at the home improvement store were very different from what I got. The pattern I saw online and in person was much finer than what I got. I took photos and compared them to each other, and as you can see, it almost appears that the wrong product was sent to me. I returned to the store where I first saw it with a piece from this roll and discovered that it was not the same item. FCS8977- The part number M is the same in stores and online, but there is a weave difference, as you can see in the picture I attached. The one from Amazon and the one from the store appear to be identical, but as you can see, the one I received is missing the second weave on the horizontal line (mine has only one weave, whereas the image on Amazon shows two weaves in both directions). This was used to replace the solar screens on my house that had been in place for 20 years. They're still darker and block more light than this product, even though they're faded and washed out. Be cautious of what you receive and inspect it thoroughly before putting it to use.
This was purchased to replace the sliding track screens on the front doors. As evidenced by the condensation, the door that is not covered by the screen has a noticeable difference in glare and heat reduction. There are two doors on this side. That kind of difference could be made with a simple screen and a paned, gas charged, and fully insulated (Wisconsin) window. I'm going to buy it again to finish the rest of the windows on the east side of the house that get the 4: Sunrise at 30 a. m. in Wisconsin.
The Texas sun is harsh in the summer, shining through our windows and forcing us to close our blinds and drapes on most sunny days. There are a lot of them down below. After that, we can leave the shades open and enjoy our home's view to the south. These screens block a lot of light and have a nice appearance. It was reasonably priced and simple to use. It has a low stretch factor and is simple to install on wooden frames.
I'm not going to mention how easy it is to install or how long it lasts, as "reviews" suggest, but I will mention the sheerness because it isn't what was pictured and it's way too sheer! br>br>I didn't return this because I was having heart problems and needed surgery in January, so I missed the deadline; however, this is the second roll of screen that wasn't as described or pictured, so please read reviews before ordering screen online; I don't like being the victim of a bait and switch scam!.
Because of the thicker screen, it's a little more difficult to roll into the grove. If you don't want to have trouble rolling in this thicker screen, you should use a thinner spline. It does exactly what I need it to do, which is to block the sun's rays from entering the room. br>NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN REVISED! br>I reduced the rating from five to two stars because the screen does not allow for much airflow. You can feel there is very little air flow if you place your hand on the opposite side of the screen and blow through it into your hand. I had no idea why the house felt hotter after I put this screen up! Now I understand! It keeps the sun out but raises the temperature in my home. I like to open my door at night to let fresh air in, but this screen prevents me from doing so. As a result, I'll be removing it.
The Florida sun beats down on my windows mercilessly. I made several screens using the Phifer brand last summer, and I believe this one is a far superior product when compared to some leftover Phifer leftovers. The holes in the Phifer are closer together, and the Phifer is thicker. In the afternoon sun, I also held them both up in front of me and felt the difference in how well they blocked the heat. I'd avoid this brand in favor of Phifer.
This implies that it is used to block the sun. It is ineffective in this situation. Our great room has some tall windows, and the sun sets low enough in the sky in the winter that you almost need sunglasses to sit in the room late at night. I put this over the windows, but it didn't help with the glare.
