no see um mesh cost vs standard screen
Published Orlando-area pricing puts 20x20 no-see-um mesh at roughly $10–$20 more per panel than standard 18x14 fiberglass, or about $0.50 more per square foot — against a $0.75–$1.25 per square foot baseline for standard fiberglass. Pet-resistant mesh runs 1.5 to 2 times the standard cost, and solar/shade screen is the priciest upgrade at $1.80–$3.00 per square foot. None of these products has a published service-life figure in years — only Super Screen and Phifer’s solar-screen line carry a documented warranty, both ten years.
