Are Sturdy Screens really claw-proof?

Yes! Our screens are made from high-impact rigid acrylic perspex, not soft mesh. Even large, energetic dogs like Huskies and German Shepherds cannot scratch through or push them out of the frame when properly installed.

Do they block airflow?

We use a precision micro-perforation process (1.5mm holes). While it reduces airflow slightly compared to wide-open mesh (about 15-20% reduction), it still provides excellent cross-ventilation while completely keeping bugs out.

How hard is the installation?

It's a very simple DIY project. You remove your old mesh and spline, slide our panel into the frame, and secure it with the provided heavy-duty clips and self-tapping screws. All you need is a Phillips head screwdriver (a drill makes it faster) and about 20 minutes.

Will it fit my specific RV door?

Our 'Standard' size (24x24 inches) fits about 85% of modern RV and Fifth Wheel bottom door panels. However, we highly recommend measuring your specific frame opening before ordering. If you need a different size, select our 'Custom Cut' option.

How do I clean the screen?

Simply wipe it down with a soft microfiber cloth and a mild soap/water solution or plastic-safe cleaner. Do not use abrasive scrubbers or ammonia-based glass cleaners (like Windex) as they can cloud the acrylic over time.

Does it block UV rays?

Our perspex material has a UV-resistant coating that prevents the panel itself from yellowing over time, and it provides mild UV filtering for the interior of your RV, though it is completely transparent.
