Does anybody know anything about this screen (it says Kaiser Aluminum, “this side out” an arrow indicates up). It’s been on this 30 x 10 screened porch for over 50 years and held up well considering its age. It really subdued light and also would turn water except for strong blown rain. It was no match for the grandkids.
I don’t know what it was called, haven’t been able to find out anything about it.

That sort of screen used to be quite common back in the 50s. I don't recall what it was called, though.
