Pet screens and standard insect screens serve different purposes. Standard fiberglass insect screens are designed for basic insect protection at an affordable price. Pet screens use heavier coated polyester yarn that is significantly stronger and more resistant to scratching and impact from pets.

Key Differences
Pet screens typically use 16Γ13 or 18Γ14 mesh with thicker 0.35-0.40mm diameter yarn. This makes them 3-4 times stronger than standard screens. They cost more but last much longer in homes with cats and dogs.
