Quality, Strength and Durability are StandardTM

The Connecticut Screen Works Screen Wall
System
® (patents pending) is an innovative
screening system intended for use in
porches, large openings
or in any other
situation where high quality and durability
are desired. This system is specifically
designed to be one of the strongest,
highest quality, and most adaptive panel
screening systems available.

All panels and walls are manufactured to order using our proprietary aluminum  extrusions. Panel  assembly is rock solid. Our proprietary aluminum corner extrusion and 410 stainless steel (thread locker coated) assembly hardware form what is probably the strongest panel screening frame available on the market. The finished assembly is virtually unbreakable.


Besides single panels, all of our 7 standard layouts are also available as walls. (A wall is simply a standard or custom layout that is repeated throughout a single master frame unit) Individual panels are available as small as 9" x 9" and System Walls are available as large as 16' x 16'. 
Almost limitless design capabilities are available - all layouts can be customized to fit your requirements.

This screen enclosure system is designed for use in almost any pre-existing or to be  built structure. This system can be used on porches, decks, balconies, patio areas, etc. System panels and walls are not intended, nor are they approved, for load bearing installations of any kind. Your roof structure must be fully supported by other means. Additionally, system panels and walls are not a code compliant safety restraint system. You must have a supported roof and safety rails (if required) in place in order to use this product.

The Connecticut Screen Works Screen Wall System
® (patents pending) is not a Home Center bargain product. This system is a higher end, extremely high quality product and is priced accordingly. To consider this system, your budget must be a minimum of $150.00 per running foot. (A three sided porch measuring 10x10x10 (or 30 running feet) must have a minimum budget of $4500.00) Your budget may need to be far higher - or lower - based upon layout ordered, production sizes and options selected.

Installation Suggestions...

Installation of this product can be quite simple or extremely involved dependent upon your structure and your planning. Several suggested installation methods are listed below. These are by no means all possibilities. Not all mounts may work in your situation - in fact, you may find that none do. You may need to utilize a combination of methods or design your own based upon your requirements. Please review and understand all information provided prior to making any determinations on sizing and mounting. The determination of sizing and installation method must be made in conjunction with one another - not exclusive of one another.

  • If your porch or deck is already built (with a roof structure and safety rails (if required) in place, please review the suggested installation methods detailed below. You may need to modify your existing structure in order to any suggested installation.
  • If your porch or deck has not been built yet and you are in the planning stages now is the time to consult with your contractor or architect to determine the best possible configuration and installation.
