How Re-Screening Adds Safety and Protection to Your Home

1. Keeps Insects and Pests Out

Let’s start with the most obvious form of protection—keeping bugs out. A single small tear in your screen is all it takes for mosquitoes, flies, and gnats to sneak in. Once inside, they make your patio uncomfortable and can even carry diseases.

Re-screening restores that tight, seamless barrier that stops pests from invading your outdoor space.

At Blue Tide Exteriors, we use ultra-durable screen materials that resist stretching and tearing, ensuring every panel fits perfectly. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool or hosting a barbecue, you can do it bug-free and worry-free.

2. Prevents Debris and Dirt Buildup

Leaves, twigs, pollen, and dirt can easily collect inside an enclosure when screens start to loosen or tear. This doesn’t just make your space look messy—it can also clog drains and damage flooring or furniture over time.

A fresh re-screen seals those gaps, blocking out debris and keeping your patio or pool area cleaner with minimal effort. You’ll spend less time sweeping and more time enjoying your outdoor retreat.

We even offer fine-mesh screens that catch tiny particles, providing a cleaner and more controlled environment.

3. Strengthens Your Enclosure Structure

Loose or sagging screens can put uneven tension on your enclosure’s frame. Over time, that stress can cause the aluminum structure to warp, bend, or develop cracks.

During re-screening, our technicians at Blue Tide Exteriors carefully remove the old mesh, inspect the framing, and repair any issues before installing the new screens. This not only restores visual appeal but also reinforces the structure itself—helping your enclosure last longer and perform better.

4. Reduces the Risk of Accidents

Safety isn’t just about keeping things out—it’s also about protecting your family and pets inside.

Torn or hanging screens can be a tripping hazard, especially around pool areas where floors are wet and slippery. Children or pets may also try to push through weak screens, which can cause injuries or falls.

By replacing worn panels with strong, professionally installed screens, you eliminate these risks and create a secure environment where everyone can enjoy the space safely.

5. Protects Against UV Rays

If you’ve ever sat outside and felt the sun’s heat radiate through your enclosure, you know how intense it can get. Over time, UV rays don’t just affect comfort—they can damage your skin, fade furniture, and even degrade flooring materials.

Upgrading your screens during re-screening gives you the chance to add solar or UV-blocking mesh. These advanced screens filter sunlight, keeping your space cooler and protecting your family and furnishings from harmful exposure.

It’s protection that goes beyond the physical—it’s about creating a healthier environment for everyday living.
