It is what it is. A fiberglass replacement screen. My local hardware store was out of stock so this came in two days. Easy to install if you have the correct installation tool.

I know that I did not use this for what it was made for, so I can't comment on it about its use for windows. I bought this specifically to use in the bottom of my 50 gallon drums to raise tomatoes in. For 2 years in a row I lost whole gardens (in the ground) to fire ants. Fire ants are not attracted to sweets and other things that our ordinary ants are attracted to--they are attracted to woody products such as plants, trees, shrubs, and even clothing. For 2 years they tunneled under my garden and nested under the roots of my vegetable plants. When my plants quit growing and started to die, I pulled them up and discovered thousands of fire ants eating the roots of my plants. There are no known ways to get rid of fire ants, so I quit gardening. So this year I decided if I could not plant a garden in the ground, I would at least grow a few vegetables in 50 gallon drums. So what I did was after I made big drainage holes in the bottom of the drums, I placed sheets of fiberglass wire screening in the bottom of the drums before filling it with soil. The screening holds in the soil and also permits water to drain as it should--at the same time, keeping the fire ants from tunneling into my barrels! I also took some of the screening and surrounded the plants on top of the soil once I placed my plants in the barrel--again, to prevent fire ants from tunneling into the soil. So far I have had no fire ants to find away into the barrels, so the screening worked out perfect for what I wanted it for. The screening on top of the soil allows rain/watering in, but the holes are small enough to keep out the fire ants. I had tried regular galvanized screen wire at first, but it was not very flexible and hard to position exactly right in the barrels, and plus, it cut my hands up when I was trying to work with it. The fiberglass screening is flexible and easy to position and is so soft that it does not cut my skin. So if you have a fire ant problem, and want to raise vegetables in any kind of pot or barrel outside, I would highly recommend this fiberglass screening for this purpose--as I just described above. Hope this helps others who garden with fire ant problems.

Husband's Review: Good screen. Easy to install when using a regular spline tool. I used the spline that I saved when I removed the torn screen last year. My screen was small enough that it looks like I may have enough to do a small window screen if I have need later. I ordered this at the same time as I ordered a grill to protect the screen from the dog's wanting in. They both arrived in the same box.

Excelente producto. Fácil de utilizar

I purchased this with the intent of closing some of the gaps to who knows where on my home. Since it's breathable, it can be used to cover things like air conditioners, vents, etc., which were the source of entry for wasps. I am scared to death of wasps, and this product has given me peace of mind against them invading.That said, I had lots of this stuff left over, so I decided to use them in my computer as fan filters. The holes are a little big to trap dust, so I cut it 2 squares wide and folded it over. It's been working wonderfully!My computer case already has a few fan filters built right into it, but some of the fans aren't protected. I decided to use this stuff to cover the others, and any other open points that didn't have fans.It's amazing not having to clean dust off computer parts, which are prone to electrical shorts that can decimate computers. Not just that, but thick layers of dust can make fans perform less efficiently, making them louder.Of course, it's important to remember to clean the screens regularly to avoid air flow issues. However, it's much easier to clean/replace screen than it is to clean individual fan blades or PC components.I definitely would encourage creative use of this product ;)

3in too short. Thanks...

This is a great screen and is very heavy duty and block the sun well. In fact, it is so heavy that it does not easily fit into the screen groove and allow for the pline to also be seated. Therefore, the 4 stars instead of 5 stars.

I actually purchased the materials for making screen frames online but it didn't include the screen material. The local hardware store's website showed that they didn't have the screening in stock so I ordered this separately. This was a better price and shipping was quick.I built the frames (the most difficult part since I had to measure accurately and cut the aluminum) and installed the screening...relatively easy. I was concerned about the charcoal color but its great and the screening was easy to work with - you need to cut it larger than the opening and trim it after installing it in the frame. This last part was so easy that I decided rather than patch holes in a couple of screens, I would totally replaced the material, so no shabby screens. It was a small price to pay to be able to open windows on a nice day and not invite a menagerie of insects inside.
