WHAT IS A POOL SCREEN
What Is a Pool Screen Enclosure?A pool screen enclosure is a frame structure (typically aluminum) infilled with high-grade insect screening to surround a pool and the adjacent patio area. Florida contractors commonly describe them as aluminum framing + mesh screens designed to enhance comfort and usability. It creates an “indoor-like” comfort while still feeling outdoors—light, breathable, and open.
The Frame: Extruded Aluminum
Florida best practice is extruded aluminum framing for strength, durability, and performance—particularly across large spans typical of pool enclosures.
We use extruded aluminum systems because they’re:
Robust for large pool and patio areas
Corrosion resistant (important for humid pool environments)
Clean and architectural (sleeker than bulky alternatives)
Our experience tends towards reference 6063-T6 extruded aluminum as a preferred alloy for screen enclosures due to strength and corrosion resistance.
These characteristics enable our award winning Engineering/Artist team to design clean and precise concepts that look modern and elegant, while needing little maintenance over time.
Mosquito Screen Nets Built to Florida Best Practice Standards
Engineered Mesh Used in Demanding Mosquito Zones
Fibreglass meshes are the most robust and popular in choice Florida because it’s flexible, lightly woven, and very resistant to rust and corrosion. It doesn’t dent, stretch, or warp over time, and it provides excellent visibility and airflow. For most pool screen applications, fiberglass strikes the best balance of durability, comfort, and cost.
Typical “best practice” Florida options include:
1) Standard Fiberglass Screen (18×14) — excellent all-rounder
A widely used baseline option in Florida pool cages and suitable for Dubai.
2) No-See-Um / 20×20 Mesh — enhanced insect protection
Used in very high-bug areas for tighter screening and a little more privacy.
3) Heavy-Duty / Pet-Resistant Screens
Recommended heavy-duty screens for higher wear areas (kids, pets, frequent traffic).
An 18×14 mosquito screen mesh typically provides around 30%–40% UV protection
Bespoke Finite Element design to optimise elegance
Our aluminium screen enclosures are engineered to the highest international standards and are deliberately designed above and beyond Dubai’s local requirements, using Florida best practice as the global benchmark for extreme heat, humidity, wind, and corrosion exposure.
Structurally, our designs follow Florida Building Code reference standards and guidance from the Aluminum Association (AA) for structural aluminium, ensuring proven performance in one of the world’s toughest outdoor environments.
All primary aluminium structural members use 6063-T6 aluminium extrusions, designed in accordance with ASTM B221 and ANSI H35.2. Aluminium sheets and plates meet ASTM B209, ensuring consistent material quality throughout the structure.
Every enclosure is analysed using a bespoke Finite Element Model (FEM), created uniquely for each project to verify strength, stiffness, and long-term performance.
This rigorous engineering process is led by our PhD-qualified structural design expert, working closely with our artistic director to optimise both robustness and elegance—resulting in enclosures that are not only exceptionally strong, but also refined, lightweight, and visually sophisticated

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need approvals to install a pool screen enclosure in Dubai?
Yes, approvals are usually required depending on your community and property type. We support the full approvals process for you, including drawings, submissions, and coordination, so it’s straightforward and stress-free.
Will a pool enclosure block airflow or make the area feel hot?
No. Modern pool enclosures are designed to maximise airflow while keeping mosquitoes out. The fine mesh allows air and light to pass through freely, helping keep the space comfortable even in Dubai’s warmer months.
What happens if the screen gets damaged or torn?
Individual screen panels are easy and quick to replace. There’s no need to change the whole structure—damaged sections can be removed and re-screened with minimal disruption.
How easy is a pool enclosure to clean and maintain?
Very easy. The aluminium frame does not rust, and the mesh can be cleaned with water and mild soap or a light hose wash. No special treatments or ongoing maintenance are required.
How do you access the pool enclosure, and what type of door is used?
Pool screen enclosures are accessed through a purpose-designed hinged access door, integrated neatly into the structure. The door is made from the same high-grade aluminium frame and mesh as the enclosure, includes a secure latch, and is designed for smooth daily use while maintaining the enclosure’s strength, safety, and clean appearance.
Do pool screen enclosures increase home value?
Yes. Evidence from mature markets like Florida, where pool enclosures are standard, shows they do add value and improve resale appeal. Real estate studies and broker data commonly indicate that screened pool enclosures can contribute approximately 5–10% to perceived home value, while also reducing buyer objections related to insects, safety, and maintenance. Homes with enclosed pools in Florida also tend to sell faster, as buyers value the extended usable outdoor living space and lower ongoing upkeep. In Dubai—where outdoor comfort is a premium—this benefit is increasingly recognised as more homeowners prioritise year-round usability and lifestyle upgrades.
