The Product
The Hidden Screen appears when the window is opened and folds away when closed, which maximizes natural light, clear views, fresh air and keeps bugs out. The low-maintenance screen design is made of polyester weave that was tested to 9,400 cycles, which is equivalent to opening and closing the windows once a day for 25 years
After years of testing and successfully launching a similar screen for wood windows, Pella opted to bring this feature to Pella's 250 series vinyl products. Available on double-hung, single-hung, sliding and awning windows, as well as patio doors, some areas of the country are seeing nearly a 50 percent inclusion rate of Hidden Screen in vinyl orders.
