Question 1

Is this an actual screen or just an image of a screen on tape?? Real ventilation like a real screen?

Accepted Answer

Fyi the adhesive which "blocks" the screen kinda melts in the sun so yes it's real screen nylon and yes it is vented.

Question 2

Is this tape opaque with a "screen" image printed on it, or is it actually screen material with adhesive on one side?

Accepted Answer

It’s screen on one side and glue on the other. It lets light through but you can’t see through it due to the glue. It’s like having frosted glass where the tape is applied.

Question 3

For a screen door, do you apply the repair piece on the interior or exterior?  How does it hold up in the elements?

Accepted Answer

I applied it on the exterior because it seemed that it would better hold the edges together, if the repair is not on an edge it might not matter very much. Thus far it has held up fine even in the rain

Question 4

Is this real screen with holes, or just adhesive tape with a mesh design? I want to cover a vent, but allow air in, just keep the bugs out.

Accepted Answer

This is just a piece of tape with screen on one side so that it looks like a screen.  However, I would caution you about using screening less than 1/4" on any type of vent in order to keep pests out.  Screening is too small and would restrict airflow for vents which would cause problems down the road.  The best solution is to find what is causing bugs getting in the vent and eliminate that cause instead.  This goes for any system that has venting, whether it be an HVAC system, a sewer system , or anything else.  Systems that rely on venting to work require a specific amount of air flow and usually have very little tolerances.  If you reduce (or even increase) that airflow even by just a tiny fraction, it can cause the whole system to function improperly, leading to all kinds of problems including breakdown or even irreparable system damage.  It can even cause harm to inhabitants of living spaces.
