Answers:

1. Do I need an alarm system for my Alarm Screens to work?
   Answer: Yes, alarm screens must be connected to your alarm system so that the control panel can monitor their status. The control panel will activate the alarm siren if an intruder tampers with your Alarm Screens. They can be used with any hardwired or wireless closed circuit alarm system. Once they are connected to your alarm system you can have your windows open to enjoy fresh air and feel secure at the same time.

2. How long will my Alarm Screens last?
   Answer: The life expectancy is directly related to the amount of time the alarm screens are exposed to the weather.  Inside screens last much longer than outside screens because they're more protected from the damaging elements, such as sun light, rain, dirt, and chemicals in the air. The average inside screen should last at least 10 years depending on how much the window is open.

3. Can Alarm Screens be cleaned?
   Answer: Yes, the recommended way to clean your alarm screens is by first vacuuming them to remove most of the dust and dirt and then washing them using a sponge with soap and water. It is not recommended to power wash them with a hose since the alarm screens have electrical connections.

4. What if I only have a couple of windows I would like to keep open and I don't have an alarm system. Is there anything I can use on those windows for protection?
   Answer: Yes, there is a new battery operated alarm screen that can be used as a "local alarm" on individual windows. It's called a "ScreenAlert". You can click here for more information.
