Screened and covered porches are becoming one of the most in-demand outdoor living upgrades. Homeowners love the idea of extending their living space while staying protected from bugs, weather, and direct sun. As a dealer, you have the opportunity to guide your customers toward the right system that balances style, functionality, and budget. Two of the most trusted options in the market are Screeneze and Westbury ScreenRail. Both deliver a high-quality screened living space but shine in different ways depending on the project. 

Screeneze | Simple, Smart, and DIY-Friendly 

For projects where ease of installation and cost are top priorities, Screeneze is often the go-to. It’s designed to be simple, efficient, and homeowner-friendly. 

• Quick Install: With minimal tools required and two installation options (flush mount or corner mount), most projects can be wrapped up in a day. 

• Big Views: Screeneze uses a picture-frame style system with no splines or complicated tools. The result is a clean, open view that homeowners love. 

• Practical Limits: Each section can cover up to 150 sq. ft. before starting a new system. While this does mean larger projects require some breaks, the benefit is wide-open sightlines. 

• Stocked Options: Available in 8′ and 12′ lengths and stocked in bronze, white, sand, and clay.

• Best Use Case: Ideal for budget-conscious projects, smaller porches, or homeowners looking for a quick, straightforward installation. 

Screeneze, an aluminum track with a PVC cover, is also a favorite for DIYers who want to picture-frame a porch or outdoor structure themselves. It’s efficient, cost-effective, and delivers impressive results without heavy labor. 

Westbury ScreenRail | Customizable and Complete 

When a homeowner is looking for a polished, integrated system, Westbury ScreenRail steps in. It’s more than a screen. It’s a full system, made from entirely aluminum construction, that ties seamlessly into Westbury railing for a uniform, high-end look. 

• Design Flexibility: ScreenRail can be picture-framed or built with midrails and rail sections, giving builders and homeowners full creative control. 

• Durability & Integration: Available in 12 colors (stocked in black, white, and bronze), ScreenRail pairs beautifully with Westbury’s railing system for larger outdoor spaces. 

• Professional Grade: Installation typically takes a couple of days, especially on bigger porches, but the result is a long-lasting, custom finish. 

• Easier Repairs: Unlike larger panels with Screeneze, replacing a damaged section is simpler because screens are smaller and modular. 

• Best Use Case: Perfect for larger porches, homeowners who want matching railing and screen systems, or projects where premium aesthetics are key. 

The Common Ground: Options for Every Lifestyle 

Both Screeneze and Westbury come with a range of screen options, and PD also carries Phifer screen choices like BetterVue, TuffScreen, and Pool and Patio. Together, these give homeowners even more flexibility to match their space and lifestyle. 

• Screeneze is best positioned as the smart, cost-friendly choice for straightforward projects. 

• Westbury ScreenRail is ideal for homeowners who want a polished, integrated system that can be customized to their style. 

How Dealers Can Position Both 

There’s no wrong choice. Dealers can help align the system with a homeowner’s vision, budget, and lifestyle. Screeneze makes screened living accessible and simple. Westbury raises the bar for design and integration. Together, they give you the flexibility to meet any customer’s needs. 

Encourage your team to talk through the homeowner’s priorities: Do they want quick installation and lower cost? Or are they investing in a larger, more custom outdoor living space? With both options available, you’re equipped to provide the right solution every time. 

And remember, both systems are available to order directly on Connect.
