Hidden Screen

The Hidden Screen, designed by Pella Corporation, is a hassle-free window screen that appears when you want it and folds away when you dont, giving homeowners a crystal-clear view and improved curb appeal. Drawing on decades of screen design and innovation, the Hidden Screen is the industrys first and only hidden screen for vinyl windows among leading national window brands. Intuitively designed, the easy-to-use Hidden Screen allows 44 percent more natural light in your home when the window is closed than a standard screen. When the window is opened the screen engages effortlessly, keeping bugs out of the home and enabling airflow. The Hidden Screen is based on Universal Design Principles pairing function with design and delivering simplicity and ease of use. Window screens play a significant role in the window system overall, not only in the aesthetic of your home, but in keeping bugs out of your home, and enabling air flow. Our team was inspired by feedback from designers and architects. They wanted to improve curb appeal on their projects, by eliminating the screens, but they also knew the functionality and comfort the screen provides in day-to-day living is important for their clients. After years of testing and successfully launching a similar screen for wood windows, we knew we could bring this innovation to more people through Pella's 250 series vinyl products. Available on double hung, single hung, sliding, and awning windows as well as patio doors, customer demand is exploding, with some areas of the country seeing nearly a 50 percent inclusion rate of Hidden Screen in vinyl orders. Made of durable polyester weave, the Hidden Screen is designed for long-lasting use. It was tested to 9,400 cycles, which is equivalent to opening and closing your windows once a day for 25 years.
