Window screen types and prices vary based on material, design, and durability. Aluminum frames are the most affordable, ranging from $20 to $50 per screen. Fiberglas screens, known for resistance to warping, cost $30 to $60. High-end steel or wood frames exceed $80. Retractable and motorized screens range from $150 to $400, depending on automation features.

The popularity of aluminum screens stems from their lightweight, corrosion-resistant properties and low cost, which align with U.S. Census data showing 60% of homeowners prioritize affordability. Fiberglas dominates humid regions like the Southeast, where its durability reduces replacement frequency by 30% (Screen Producers Association, 2022). Retractable systems appeal to modern homes, with 25% of luxury renovations incorporating them (Home Remodeling Index, 2023). Energy-efficient fabrics, such as those with 18–20% smaller holes, reduce heat gain by 15% (DOE, 2021), justifying premium pricing. Material choice balances cost, climate resilience, and aesthetic preferences, driving a $2.1 billion U.S. window screen market (IBISWorld, 2023).
