Screen Fabric Options | NWA Security Shutters

Not all screen fabrics are created equal. The fabric you choose determines how much light comes in, how much privacy you get, how well insects are blocked, and how your screen performs in Arkansas heat and weather. This page breaks down every fabric option we offer so you can make an informed decision before you buy.

If you already know what you need, jump to the section that fits your goal:

• I want to block insects
• I want solar shading and UV protection
• I want maximum privacy
• I want full blackout

These fabrics are engineered with a fine mesh weave specifically designed to keep mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and other insects out while maintaining airflow and visibility. If bug control is your primary goal, start here. Nano 55 — Fine Insect Mesh The tightest insect mesh we carry. Blocks virtually all flying insects including no-see-ums while allowing excellent airflow. Available in White and Flat Black. Nano 70 — Insect & Light Shade Combo A step up from pure insect mesh — the Nano 70 blocks insects while also providing moderate solar shading. Ideal if you want bug protection with some sun reduction. Available in Flat Black.

Solar shading fabrics are woven to block UV rays and reduce heat and glare while maintaining your outward view. The openness factor — expressed as a percentage — tells you how much light passes through. Lower number means more privacy and more UV blocking.Nano 95 — 5% Open (Roll Height 126")Our most popular fabric.
