PollenTec Clean Air Window Screen Air Purifying Filter Material for Cleaner Healthier Air Inside Your Home Roll Size (21" x 100')

We purchased Pollentec screening to keep the pollen off our existing screen porch during pollen season (...which is HORRIBLE in SC). We rigged up a way to put the pollen screen over our existing screen for about 3-4 weeks. It did a great job keeping the porch clean. I wouldn't say it keeps 100% of the pollen out (and they don't claim it does), but I would say 95%. It was so nice to be able to use our porch during pollen season, and to simply take the temporary screening down after the pollen subsided and not have to clean the entire porch off. So, overall, a successful endeavor and we would highly recommend it. I also made a few small screens with it (using DIY aluminum screen frame from Lowes) and put them in my windows during pollen season so I can get some fresh air and hear the birds.I like springtime even more now!

The window we like to keep open most of the time is on the west side of our house and catches the wind that roars in from the Pacific most afternoons. The room closest to this window is our bedroom, which has always been in need of daily attention to the layer of dust that blew in. I saw the roll of PollenTec Clean Air Window Screen discussed elsewhere and ordered it from Amazon.com. We opted to have a new screen made for this window rather than retrofit the crumbling old one. Popped that screen into the window and immediately noticed that it was slightly darker in the room. Slightly. After a few days I don't notice it anymore. There is still a breeze blowing in, bringing the fresh air to the odd back part of our very old house. I noticed the next morning that there was still a very light mist of dust on the windowsill and the nearby furniture. Then, I realized that for the first time in weeks my eyes were not itching! My spouse is so happy that he is not fighting with the avocado tree in the neighbor's yard, which is in bloom right now. This is great. We have lots of Pollentec screen left, so I'm going to attempt to make a small screen for the other window on that side of the house.After I bought the Pollentec, I received an email from Paul Honnen, owner of Pollentec, asking me to write a review here. So, I emailed him back pointing out that there were no cleaning instructions with the roll of screen or on their website. He replied, saying that once or twice a season to spray the screen with a medium spray from a garden hose. Note: I did not receive any compensation for this review.

I'll echo others' remarks that this screen material does, in fact, effectively reduce dust (pollen and otherwise) from blowing in with the wind. It also distorts the view outside and in, which may or may not be a desirable effect.Between the installation of the screen and a Himalayan salt lamp I set up in my apartment at the same time, the volume of dust in the air has gone down greatly, as measured visually in the morning sunbeam.The 36"x10' roll was exactly 11' long and just enough to cover four 25x27 screens. Installation isn't particularly difficult but there are some tricks not covered in the instructions to ensure the grid is aligned as desired with even tension through the perimeter.Regarding the alignment, this material polarizes light and it makes a big difference to visibility when mounted with a 90 degree offset. On close view, you can see that the grid is rectangular roughly 20x50 per inch. I find that visibility is less hampered with the wider channels of the grid running up and down. When set up left/right, the view through is darker and completely invisible from about 30-0 degrees from the side.I'd purchase this again and recommend to friends.

I can not tell the difference between this product and the Saint-Gobain ADFORS Pollen Guard 36 in. x 84 in. Black Polyester Insect Screen Model# FCS10294-U. Except the price. It's basically twice as much per square foot.These screens are serious pain to install - warps at the grommet (maybe use .125 grommet???)These alleged pollen screens are so fine they actually diffuses light to the point of blurring your views. There is a far more expensive product with a "50 microns (0.05 centimeters)" and a TUV SEGB - 253/10 rated against VDI 3492 with proven 87% to 90% efficiency. Can't afford to find out of that works.As for the claims that this can block pollen, it's very hard to say. Read other reviews for big picture.

This is an amazing screen! I've only had it put up for a day so far, and I can already see the pollen it has caught. I'm sure that a lot of you looking at this have seasonal allergies, and I do as well. It's always been something that marred springtime for me, and I also hate heat and dislike closing up my room when there's a nice spring breeze. It's always been something of a trade off for me: turn on the AC a bit early or deal with pollen that makes my nose close up and get's all of my knickknacks dusty.I believe this screen will help quite a bit, and it will be nice for keeping out those pesky little bugs that can come through normal screens at night. However, as others have mentioned it does warp your vision if you're looking outside through it and makes your open windows darker. But I think not having to worry about pollen and bugs is a perfectly good trade as I don't stare out my windows anyway. I can't say how arduous cleanup is as I haven't had to do so yet, but I imagine taking the vacuum outside once a week or so will suffice.Setup was super easy and there is a very detailed instruction set on how to do it. I definitely recommend Pollen Tec.

Installed these into my windows and at least swiping them clean each week with a wet paper towel gives nasty black soot stains to the tissue (In Downtown Toronto)... Better there than in my lungs!

Redid my screens because the house was getting covered in pollen dust. Also wanted to protect new blinds. Works very well.

Yes, Like this screen purpose. Have only insulted one so far but already feel and taste less dust. Was worried about less air flow and light but again that is no problem.Terry.

An excellent product. Takes a little time and patience to install but absolutely worth the effort.
