Pet-Resistant Screen Solutions That Open A New Market for OEM Partners
Pet damage to door and window screens is a common complaint in the fenestration category. Cats scratch through vinyl mesh, and dogs push through standard screens. The result is a screen that fails, a frustrated homeowner, and a replacement purchase that flows to a retailer instead of back to the original manufacturer.
Advanced Screen Systems offers a high-performance screen built to handle it, and a chance for OEM manufacturers to participate in a category that has historically belonged to the aftermarket.
Built To Withstand Household Pets
Meshtec screens are built from high-tensile stainless-steel mesh, not standard screen cloth. Meshtec mesh provides a level of physical resistance typical mesh screens can’t match. It resists scratching from cats, pushing and impact from dogs, and the everyday wear that comes from pets over time.
Our Pet Resistant Screen Door and Pet Resistant Sliding Patio Screen Door are built specifically for this. And because every Meshtec product uses the same stainless-steel mesh, that durability carries across the line, including the Egress Window Screen.

A Market Representing Tens of Millions of U.S. Households
68 million US households own dogs, and 49 million own cats – and that number has grown consistently for more than a decade. For a significant share of homebuyers and homeowners, pets are a primary lifestyle consideration.
For OEM window and door manufacturers, that’s a clearly defined, addressable market currently buying pet-resistant screens as aftermarket add-ons. By offering factory-integrated pet-resistant screens in your product line, you can capture those sales at the point of original purchase instead of losing them to retail or e-commerce.
No Performance Trade-Off
Pet-resistant Meshtec products offer full visibility, ventilation, and insect protection. There’s no real downside for homeowners without pets, and little reason for a builder or dealer to stock only a standard version. A product that works well for every household is one you can market to every household.
