Should You Upgrade to UV-Blocking Mesh at the Cottage? (Yes, If You Like Seeing Your View)

Picture this: You finally escape to the cottage—coffee in hand, ready to admire that sparkling lake…

Except… your screens are so cloudy and worn, you’re basically admiring a faded bug graveyard instead of Georgian Bay.

Here’s the truth: Cheap, old screens ruin your view—but UV-blocking mesh can save the day.

Let’s get brutally honest about whether you should upgrade—especially if you’re team “love my cottage, hate mosquito nets that look like they’ve seen better centuries.”

What Is UV-Blocking Mesh—And Why You Should Care

UV mesh isn’t just fancy marketing—it’s your window to:

• Better visibility (ditch the foggy look)
• Bug defense (obviously—this IS Canada)
• UV protection (blocks harsh rays)
• Less screen glare ruining your sunset pics
• Longer-lasting screens that won’t disintegrate by next summer

Think of it as polarized sunglasses… for your cottage.

Does UV Mesh Actually Make a Difference at the Cottage?

Short answer: Yes—unless you love squinting through faded mesh like it’s the 90s.

UV mesh benefits:

• Keeps your lake view, well… visible
• Stops early morning glare blinding your breakfast
• Blocks UV rays—protects floors, furniture, and your skin
• Reduces screen aging (goodbye, brittle, cracked mesh)

Perfect for:

• Muskoka cottages with big windows or patios
• Waterfront homes where the view matters
• Seasonal cottages left baking in the sun
• Anyone done fighting faded, sagging, embarrassing screens

Common UV-Blocking Mesh Myths (Debunked)

“It’s too dark, ruins my view!”

• Nope—modern UV mesh improves visibility by reducing glare

“Only for tropical climates—this is Canada!”

• Canadian UV rays still fade screens, furniture—and your patience

“It’s outrageously expensive!”

• Costs more than bargain mesh—but outlasts it by YEARS

“Doesn’t stop bugs!”

• Fully bug-proof—same fine mesh size
