A
New Generation of Protection
Twitchell Corporation, an established leader on the cutting-edge
of the textile industry, has created a new, innovative fabric for
all your pool and porch enclosure needs. Designed to exceed expectations
in solar characteristics, insect protection, safety, aesthetics
and maintenance, InsectProTex is the perfect choice for the homeowner
who demands the very best for his family and home improvement investments.
Consumers have come to connect the Twitchell brand name with a
superior outdoor textile offering. Specialty contractors and homeowners
alike who are concerned about a quality investment resulting in
long-term rewards will be quick to recognize the benefits that InsectProTex
fabric offers. Twitchell's lanei screening fabric exceeds the requirements
of Section 553.73 of the Florida Building Code. Our fabric provides
more than just a "good enough" screen, it provides insect
and pest protection, privacy, safety, decreased maintenance, and
debris control. Existing products force customers to choose between
mutually beneficial characteristics.

Features & Benefits
- Durability: The strength of our fabric
provides increased resistance to punctures and tears caused by
falling debris as well as better protection from pet damage, thereby
extending the useful life of the product.
- UV Protection/Stable: The UV properties
of our material increase the longevity of the fabric while addressing
health and safety concerns by providing excellent solar protection.
Air and light are able to pass through while blocking some of
the damaging rays from the sun.
- Mildew Resistant: Biocide is compounded
directly into our extrusion coated yarn for extended mildew resistance.
- Insect Protection: With the recent
health concerns over insect-related illnesses, the tight weave
of InsectProTex helps guard against the spread of disease.
- Privacy: The construction of our fabric
inhibits visibility from the outside while offering a clear view
from the inside.
