There is no single mesh that fits every situation. Each project has different requirements. Sometimes durability matters most. Sometimes maximum visibility. Ease of use and service life are increasingly important. Dealers, manufacturers and professionals need a clear view of the differences between mesh types.

In this article we compare three high quality fiberglass meshes from Phifer: Phiferglass insect screen, BetterVue screen and UltraVue screen. This helps you see at a glance which mesh fits your application.

Comparison Phiferglass vs BetterVue vs UltraVue

Phiferglass, the classic

Phiferglass insect screen has been the industry standard for years. This classic fiberglass mesh combines durability with broad applicability. A strong vinyl coating resists rust, stains and corrosion. The mesh remains colorfast and in top condition even after years of use and sun exposure.

For professionals this is a reliable solution that requires little maintenance and is easy to process in window and door profiles. With various roll widths and lengths, Phiferglass insect screen suits standard screens, sliding doors and verandas.

BetterVue, better view and water repellent

Sometimes standard mesh is not enough, for example when end users value view and light. BetterVue screen is designed for that need. Thanks to its fine structure the mesh allows more daylight and fresh air while keeping insects out.

Water Shed Technology™ is a distinctive feature. This coating causes rainwater to bead off the mesh and reduces dirt adhesion. The mesh stays clean and clear longer, even after rain. For dealers and manufacturers this is a premium product that differentiates in the market.

UltraVue, ultimate transparency

For the best view choose UltraVue screen. After installation this mesh is almost invisible and offers the highest clarity in our range. It creates an open, spacious feeling as if there were no mesh at all.

Like BetterVue, UltraVue screen features Water Shed Technology™, and its even finer structure lets through more light and air. The hydrophobic coating also reduces the window effect during rain. For high end projects, panoramic windows and luxury verandas this is the ultimate solution.
