Customer Reviews for Saint-Gobain ADFORS 36 in. x 84 in. Charcoal Fiberglass Clear Advantage Screen Roll for Windows and Door

The existing contractor grade screen in the window had the best clarity. md Crystal Clear had finer weave. Adfors Clear Advantage was slightly clearer than other two. Aluminum had more brightness resulting from light reflections (more durable against animals / pests). Photo angle & reflection effect clarity so take it into consideration. ClearVue 2 not evaluated because I couldn’t get 7’.

Just what I needed. Perfect for 2 window screens.

I purchased some Metal Cloth Mesh, and then put this on the outside of it, to make a enclosed "cat proof" area on my mom's porch to keep the cat in and the bugs out. It worked very well for this little DIY project. :)

We have two tiny dogs and are paranoid about hawks swooping in on them, so are screening in the deck where they play. We will also be growing container vegetables and there and needed as much light as possible. Thus, this purchase. Photo shows screen on the right, unfinished section on the left. The difference looks slight in the photo, but in person the view is not as clear as we had hoped. Still, for protecting the babies and being able to grow veggies this was the best option we could find.

This is the perfect size to screen the doors for summer. The as seen on TV screens are just crap. These will last several summers if I take them down and store them during winter months.

Worked as expected.

After spending 12 arduous hours rehabilitating an ancient wooden screen door, I was just trimming the excess screen fabric from the wooden molding. I dropped my Exacto knife point first onto my newly installed screen. Aaaah! But it bounced right off, the screen wasn’t breached! What heroic screen fabric!

I use this product to build mountains, etc. for my model railroad. It works GREAT as the foundation to lay the plaster on.

I was happy with this screen. I had a couple of windows that needed new screens, and these worked well for that. The mesh is close but not that noticeable from a couple of feet away from the window. Cutting and installing it was relatively easy. I did learn though that the screen needs to be looser than I would have thought, otherwise the frame can bow if it gets pulled too tight.

It is great! It is almost invisible. Easy to install. Inexpensive.

I used this fiberglass screen material to replace a torn screen in a sliding frame on a sliding glass door. It unrolled with very little curl and layed flat on the door frame quite easily. It was a simple matter to press in the locking bead with a tool and the excess material was easy to trim off with a single edge razor blade. The dark charcoal (basicly black) disappears from view when there is anything brighter outside. When the sun hits the screen it doesn't "glow" like the old aluminum screens, it doesn't reflect enough light to be noticed. It seems fairly sturdy and I'd expect it to last many years.

Some of the screens on my 22-year old windows were in tatters. I did not want to spend $$$ for replacement screens. I saw that HD carried several types of screen material and after researching and viewing the manufacturer's installation videos I chose clear advantage because of the ease in using a fiberglass screen and the promise of clearer viewing. This product delivered on both accounts! I used new spline, but to my surprise the old material came out easily and could have been used again. I bought the less expensive tool because, really how often am I going to do this? The 36x84 was enough material to do three of my 27"x32" Windows. I used latex gloves because I am sensitive to fiberglass. But this was a great DIY job, easy, I saved a ton of $$, and my screens look great. No more holes, or bugs and dirt getting into my windows. I am so pleased that I went back to HD and bought the 36"X25' to fix all my screens. If I can do this, anyone can do it too.

This Clear Advantage fiberglass insect screen, really works well. My kitchen window screen was beyond repair. Replacement was a little tedious, as I had to take the frame apart to replace the screen, but the results are great, great look, easy to cut with household scissors. Clear view out the window, and no bugs coming in through the gaping holes in the old screen. Very satisfied. I still have my back door screen to replace, it will be and easier job.

I am extremely happy with the CLEAR ADVANTAGE 36 IN. X 84 IN. CHARCOAL FIBERGLASS INSECT SCREEN FCS8480-M. I used the screen to re-screen a standard single sliding screen door. The screen material is easy to work with, extremely strong, and provides a considerably clear view once installed. I am still somewhat amazed at the strength of the screen material given the amount of light the screen allows through. I would recommend this product.

This screen came with a nice pamphlet of information describing its various qualities. Evidently this screen (versus regular screens) allows more light through, is harder to see, & has a finer mesh pattern for greater insect protection, all while meeting industry standards for tensile & bursting strength. Sound good? It sounded good to me. All the technical stuff aside, this screen was very easy to work with & looks as good as a screen can look. I did not have any problems with it tearing and there were no pinched parts when I unrolled it. The product is made in Mexico.

I used this to replace the screen in the front door. It was easy enough to install, but on my first try the screen tore when I was pressing the spline in place. I was able to move it over a bit since I hadn't cut it to size yet. On the second try I made sure to keep the spline tool to the outside of the groove and it went ok. It looks great. It feels flimsy and I wouldn't lean against it, but it is stronger than it feels.

this product was sold to me for covering an air vent from a gas fire, birds kept knocking the existing one off and nesting in the pipe. If I had used I think I could have he'd a fire start because it shriveled and started to melt when I held it to the hot pipe. Obviously I was sold the wrong material for the job.

... exactly what was needed to cover patio door screen

Product as described. Thanks

Cuts easy, looks great - be careful to align your squares equally - looks better

Good product and easy to install. Just replaced several screens with it so no experience with how well it does long term.
