Keeping Dirt Out Of Your Screen Enclosure

Screen enclosure blending the line behind the 'outdoors' and living space tend to get dirty.  Most commonly the dirt splatters up around the bottom edge of the enclosure as a result of rain splash, or lawn mower dust.  Fortunately 2 good options exist for keeping it a bit cleaner.

1) Kickplate: Kickplate is a solid metal paneling that goes around the bottom of the screen enclosure.  They come in a standard size of 16" but could be done larger.  Because the aluminum is a resilient metal it has the added value of being weed whacker, lawn mower and pet resistant.  Kick plate is a good option to consider adding to your existing or new pool enclosure.

2) Florida Glass: Its a trick, Florida Glass, is not an actual glass.  Rather Florida glass is a screen mesh with a laminate of sorts melted over it.  It is a non breathable material so not air flow, or dirt, or water can splash through it.  It is a great product for keeping the deck clean but it is not quite as resilient as the metal kickplate.

Consider these options for your pool enclosure!
