It looks like we’ve finally seen the last of winter’s cold in Kansas City (fingers crossed), and with warm spring temperatures now the norm, allergies are on the rise, and it could be the worst year ever for them.

While pollen-blocking screens are a huge relief for allergy sufferers in the spring, summer, and fall, many of our customers have asked how they work, so in this week’s blog, we take a deep dive into them.
Pollen Blocking Window, Door, and Porch Screen Replacement in Kansas City, Olathe, and Overland Park
Pollen-blocking window and porch screens utilize specially designed materials with a fine mesh pattern to keep pollen and other allergens from entering your home or outdoor living spaces. The primary purpose of these screens is to relieve people who suffer from pollen allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis, by minimizing their exposure to pollen. Here’s how these screens work:
Mesh size: Pollen-blocking screens have a finer mesh pattern than regular screens. This smaller mesh size, usually measured in microns, is designed to block out a majority of pollen particles without significantly reducing airflow. Pollen sizes can range from 10 to 100 microns, so these screens are designed to filter out particles within that range.
Material: Pollen-blocking screens are typically made from polyester or fiberglass coated with a protective layer. The coating helps increase the durability of the screens and makes them more resistant to wear and tear. Some materials may also have an electrostatic charge that helps attract and trap pollen particles.
Installation: Pollen-blocking screens can be installed on windows, doors, and porch enclosures. They are often custom-made to fit the specific dimensions of your openings, ensuring a snug fit that prevents pollen from sneaking in through gaps or crevices.
Maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance of pollen-blocking screens are essential to ensure their effectiveness. Pollen particles can accumulate on the screens over time, reducing their ability to filter out allergens. Cleaning the screens with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner and occasionally washing them with soapy water can help maintain their performance.
Remember that while pollen-blocking screens can significantly reduce pollen entering your home or outdoor spaces, they cannot eliminate it entirely. It’s still essential to take other measures, such as closing windows during high pollen count days or using air purifiers with HEPA filters, to minimize exposure to pollen and other allergens.
