Q: What is the strongest material for window screens?

• <div><p>Pet-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester is one of the strongest window screen materials available, with some manufacturers touting a 7x increase in strength compared to standard fiberglass screens. Stainless steel security screens are also extremely strong, but they&rsquo;re not suitable for coastal areas due to the risk of corrosion from salty sea air. If sea air isn&rsquo;t a concern, stainless steel is extremely tough.</p></div>
