Perfect solution if you have cats
I have cats and my concern always was that they can pull the screen out or make holes in it and get out. Even with the pet screening they are still able to pull/push it out with the spline. We have Pet screen screwed into the frame in the patio but this was not possible with the window frames. We needed a solution. I chatted with Mr Alex A. from Metro Screen works and told him my problem and he suggested the forever screen. So i ordered one to see how it fits and how it is. The shipping costs are very high and it kind of discouraged me from ordering. The Screen itself is already expensive and then the $80 shipping cost on top of it. Ouch! My cats convinced me to order one anyway and I am glad i did. This screen is perfect. I sure will order more and do all windows like this. It sits very snug and no way for my cats to push this out or make holes in this. My cats and I love it. They can now look out and get fresh air with an open window safely. I got the screen in black, even our window is white and it looks great. Thank you Mr Alex for the great recommendation.
