You have options for the screening itself. Bronze is traditional and outlasts all other materials; copper and brass are good, too. Modern aluminum screening is less expensive and has been around for a long time.
Earlier houses from Louisiana to New England had louvered panels, similar to shutter-blinds, at the door, instead of a secondary screen door. Louvered doors are being made today with optional screen and storm panels—more practical, and a historical look with great curb appeal. The front hall, of course, will be coolly dark if you go this route. Screen mesh on rolls is readily available in fiberglass, aluminum, and bronze, through your building-supply store or online.
Brass, copper, and especially bronze screens really last while imparting a subtly historic look. Fiberglass is more opaque than other choices.

Product Brochure Request Service Free Estimate. Origins Before there were screen doors, there were window screens. A common project for Boy Scout troops was to build and install residential window screens.
At that time, screens were simply nailed to wooden frames. The smaller patches of screen left over from this process led to mini screens being attached to the end of a stick — the fly swatter.
Further advances included the invention of the spline system to make replacing screens much easier, as well as attaching screens to frames much more secure. Spline, sometimes known as screen bead, is typically made of foam or vinyl. Today, screens come in a myriad of materials, fibre sizes, mesh sizes and colours, and can be used for bug, sun and wind protection as well as privacy. Screens can still be attached to frames with spline or with even more secure zippered systems.
