Technically Amazing!

"You now have an enthusiastic customer who will be telling her friends about your product.

These screens are technically amazing. Balancing visible light transmission vs. the need for resisting insect ingress is an optical and mechanical nightmare. As a nuclear physicist, I can say y'all have succeeded with both. The screens are darn near invisible. In fact, one of my Russian Blue felines, Electron, thought he could jump outside through a newly open window. He leaped, bounced off the screen, shook his head, and took a few minutes to "case" the other windows with screens. If you can fool an entity like a cat, with their acutely high spatial resolution vision, you know you've done a great job!! Even the hummingbirds think they can come inside!

I must thank your customer service team for their superb professionalism and great attitudes. I want to be as good a customer as y'all are a company. I have an architect designed roof over my head, beautiful windows looking out on a meadow with almost-old-growth cedars and redwoods, and know I'm truly blessed. My screens are an absolute luxury and I'm more than satisfied!

The screens still amaze me. I've had house guests and visitors who've inadvertently tried to put their hands or heads through the window to see the wonderful views and been startled to hit the screens. It's become quite funny to watch people's shock when they realize there are screens in every window. Your screens so far have fooled doctors, attorneys, two artists, a biologist, and several workmen. It's just amazing to observe visitor's behavior because no one, and I mean no one, sees these screens.

I love your product!!!! At times, I feel like an inlighten PR person! I don't mind because the product is so, so good. Congratulations to all of y'all for my screens.

Thank you once again."

The Perfect Fit for Renaissance

"When we discovered GORE inLighten screens, we found the perfect fit for our mahogany-and-glass Garden Windows. Many of our Garden Windows are designed and built to be installed above kitchen sinks. This creates a somewhat "long reach" across the counter top and through the window to seasonally remove and re-install the insect screens. Put a few plants in the way, and many people say, "What's the use?" GORE inLighten screens are virtually transparent, so our clients can conveniently leave them in place all year round. The added ventilation they provide is the "icing on the cake". We are so pleased, we are now offering inLighten screens in our premium conservatories and glass roof lanterns."

How Clear!

"I open the box and pull out the first screen and can't believe what I am looking at or not looking at, unreal how clear these things are! Seriously I am impressed. Sign me up to sell these things! I installed them all and still can't believe it when I go from room to room and it looks like there is no screen."

Love Them!

"LOVE THEM, LOVE THEM, LOVE THEM! Even my kids were amazed at the transparency. I knew it was a great product, but it really comes to “light” (no pun intended) when you actually view them within the context of your own home. They arrived exactly as the specs stated. The packaging was large but the packing was meticulously handled. The screens fit perfectly into my windows….all in all a very good experience."

SO CLEAR

"I found inLighten screens on Google and was so happy that I could order custom screens online for my condo. The packaging was incredible and they shipped across the USA in perfect condition. The best part is that the screens are SO CLEAR, that it doesn’t even appear I even have window screens- nice quality product. The online ordering system was very clear and your website is very thorough (with lots of detailed instructions). If I need additional screens for my place, you bet I will order them from you (it was actually easier than going someplace local). I’ll be sure to tell my friends. Keep up the good work!"

You're Looking at Them!

"We wanted to follow up, and let you know how pleased we are now that the screens have been installed. We have several comments and incidents to share with you.

The day the screens had been installed and painters had finished, my mother and I were cleaning up the covered porch. We’d provided pitchers of ice and water for the painters, and my mother pitched the ice water out into the flowerbed. She had such a stunned look as the water went through the Inlighten screen, but the ice bounced back on her. It’s so transparent that it’s easy to forget the screen is even there!

Later, our neighbors had teased us and asked, “When are you going to install the screens? You’ve had the frames up for weeks now.” We had a good laugh and told them, “The screens ARE installed. You’re looking at them.” That has prompted several visits from curious neighbors.

We love hummingbirds, flowers and our backyard is lushly planted. Thanks to the sheerness of the inLighten screens, we can now enjoy sitting on our bug-free screened porch and see details of the birds’ feathers, their tiny beaks, and even see them swallowing as they drink from the feeders and flowers. Thanks again for manufacturing such a great product! We’ve ordered more screen from you so we can replace other sliding screened doors with the inLighten screens."
