(Not so) Fun Fact: If you have old fiberglass window screens, you might be breathing in dirty fiberglass dust!
We recently removed old screen mesh from 15 window screens (enough to cover almost an entire home), and this is just some of the dust we collected😷. This dust sheds a lot during removal, but if the mesh isn’t replaced, it likely flakes off every time a breeze passes through your windows — right into your home and your lungs.
Signs your fiberglass screens might be emitting dust:
- Screens feel "silky" or look "hazy" from the outside.
- They’re over 8 years old.
- They get a lot of direct sunlight throughout the day.
Old screens don’t just look bad — they can also affect the air you breathe. If this sounds like your screens, it’s time to have them re-screened.
