Aluminum Screen used for windows and doors
Aluminum screen cloth is available in similiar sizes as for fiberglass. Aluminum is often called "bright wire" which refers to the shiny uncoated aluminum screen wire. This material can corrode quickly and develops a white powdery oxide coating over the years which does not look all that attractive. To combat this manufacturers have painted the standard aluminum screen black and called this "black wire". When this stuff goes in new it has the advantage of being the most "invisible" type of screen. Black aluminum screen doors are the easiest to accidently walk through ! There is also electro alodized screening which is also black but is produced using an electro chemical process which prevents corrosion better than black paint. New York Wire is a screening manufacturer who uses this process. Aluminum is stronger than fiberglass and works fine with humans but it is still not sufficient to stand up to scratching by most pets. It is suitably strong for storm door screens and is used there often. Check the links below for some common aluminum screen sizes and types.
