1.Material: Pet screen is usually made from vinyl-coated polyester, while fiberglass screen is made from fiberglass yarns.
2.Durability: Pet screen is up to seven times stronger than fiberglass screen and is tear and fray resistant. Fiberglass screen is flexible and durable, and can withstand everyday wear and tear.

4.Color options: Fiberglass screen and Paw proof screen both best-selling color is Black and Grey(Charcoal and Silver).
5.Insect damage: Fiberglass screen can be more susceptible to certain insect damage.
6.Visibility: Both pet screen and fiberglass screen provide good outward visibility.

Fiberglass Insect Screening, coated with a vinyl protective layer, offers a durable, longer-lasting option in coastal climates, since it is not susceptible to corrosion. Over time, fiberglass screen has become a popular option for pool enclosures and patios. Generally, fiberglass screen is only available in shades of charcoal or gray.
Pet Resistant Screening is also completely safe for pets, and can be installed in any doorway or window. They are normally available in black or gray.
Due to the thickness and wire density of the pet screen material, the mesh will have lower light transmission than other mesh screens. However, I believe that the life and health of your pets are worth the slight difference in light.
Not only will the pet screen material prevent a pet from escaping, the mesh will also protect your home from outside intruders: insects, birds, rodent, and reptiles. The material will also hold up against harsh climates such as extreme hot or cold.
