Product Considerations


Shade screens placed over fixed insect screens will produce a moire pattern. A moire pattern is a kaleidoscope like a pattern that develops when looking through two mesh products. This happens typically when a shade screen is installed in an area that has a fixed insect screen, the pattern will also move and will seem to pulse when wind blows on the screen.

We strongly advise specifying a solid shade material rather than a mesh material to eliminate the moire pattern if shade screens will be installed over fixed insect screens. Please contact Fenetex to discuss alternate fabrics.

Manually operated screens are designed to be used where electricity is not available, or the screens will be used infrequently. It is not cost effective over the life of the screen to use manual gears on a regular basis given the time and labor effort required to cycle several screens up and down and the high potential for operator caused damage. Further, the cranking mechanism in a manually operated screen has no settable limits. This means the screens bottom bar can be rolled up too high causing it to jam in the screen housing if the stops have been removed, the screen can be let down too far such that it appears unsightly, and the screen can be rolled backwards on the reel which will create several issues that can jam the screen, cause the screen to come out of the tracks, and/or damage the screen. Operator errors can quickly create a circumstance that requires costly service and repairs, these are not covered by any warranty.
