Screens Vs Doors

•  The metallic or wooden doors and gates, swinging to and fro, occupied extra space, which wasn’t fruitful. Screens are, in turn, retractable that need no opening space.
• Moreover, the metallic ones have to be painted to save from rust or the wooden ones polished. But screens are made of fibreless glass, requiring no such maintenance.
• The climatic effect is nil as there is no chipping or rusting allowed on the surface.

Good looking designs and customised fit for all sizes, the screens are available in complete DIY kits for self-installation.
