We’re looking at buying a house with a screened in front porch. One of the seller’s catch phrases is “you know, that’s bronze screening!!”. I ask you guys, so what? It is torn and needs replacing, but the guy has placed seeds of guilt in my head. Can you still find bronze screen? Why is it superior? I don’t like the looks of fiberglass, but does it beat aluminum? Thanks for any thoughts on this.
