SNAPP SCREEN SYSTEM
Snapp Screen System, from Connecticut Screen Works, is a new insect screening system that offers
commercial quality, virtually no loss of opening area, and extreme adaptability at an economical price.
Snapp applications range from porches and balconies to dining areas, laboratories, doors, windows,
boats and RV’s, as well as any oddly shaped or out-of-square
opening—including arches. The 1/2-by- 3/8-inch extrusion
can be mounted inside or over an opening, as well as from
the interior or exterior or in any combina-tion required. The
screen is compact and takes up less than 3/32 inch on each
side of an opening. Extrusions are available in 8- and 16-foot
lengths and four finishes. Professionals and DIY'ers will enjoy
the fact that the Snapp Screen System is a single-piece
“build in place” product that quickly attaches to any structure,
accepts all styles of screen material, and has a cost of under
$350 for a typical three-sided 12-foot porch. Learn more at
