Pet-Resistant Screens in Markham
Standard fibreglass mesh is no match for pet claws. A dog that pushes against a patio door screen or a cat that sits in a window can tear standard mesh within a single season. Pet-resistant screen mesh, woven from heavy-gauge vinyl-coated polyester, resists puncture and tearing under typical pet contact. Screen Express installs PetScreen mesh for Markham homes; it is seven times stronger than standard fibreglass and compatible with all standard aluminum frame profiles.
Markham is a high-density family city with strong pet ownership across its detached-home neighbourhoods. Berczy, Wismer, Cornell, Greensborough, and Legacy are all characterized by fenced backyards, active family lifestyles, and large and medium-breed dogs that interact regularly with patio door screens and ground-floor windows. In our experience servicing Markham, torn patio door mesh from dog contact and punctured window screens from cat claws are among the most predictable repeat service calls. The same household may replace the same patio door screen two or three times before choosing PetScreen. The upgrade cost is minimal compared to the savings in repeat replacements.

Why Markham Homeowners Choose Screen Express
We carry PetScreen in our van on every Markham visit and can replace any standard screen on the spot without pre-ordering. In most cases your existing frame can be re-meshed rather than replaced entirely, keeping the cost down. We apply a reinforced spline seat to all pet screen installations to prevent mesh from pulling free at the corners under sustained pressure from larger dogs. PetScreen is available in charcoal, the most popular choice, and in standard grey.

Recent Work in Markham
Heritage Window Custom Screens: Unionville
· 2024Problem
A 1920s heritage home on Unionville Main Street had 11 windows across two floors with non-standard dimensions. The original screens had been removed years earlier and the owner had been using foam-taped inserts. Several windows were casement style with arched top sections.
Solution
Measured and fabricated 11 custom screens on-site in mill aluminum frames with heavy-duty fibreglass mesh. Each screen was fitted and verified before we packed up. The casement windows received full-perimeter screens rather than split sections.
Fine Mesh Upgrade: German Mills
· 2025Problem
A family home backing onto the German Mills Creek valley had standard 18×16 screens on all windows and patio doors. The homeowner reported small biting insects entering through the screens on summer evenings despite all screens fitting correctly.
Solution
Replaced mesh on all ground-floor windows and both patio doors with 20×20 fine mesh in charcoal. Existing aluminum frames were re-used. The owner reported the insect problem was resolved within the first week of use.
