You will very rarely see a Dominican house with screens. Not much demand.
However, most of the screens that I have seen were made of plastic mesh.The reason for the indoors use of the screens is due to the rust it would present after getting exposed to the Caribbean showers and sunny days...

Well, of course all the (aluminium) window making workshops have that screen material or can get it for you.Would you know where we can purchase the replacement mesh please as some of ours have been damaged now (mostly by our dogs!) - we need some in excess of 5ft wide.

Sky,
Why do you think that there is not much demand for screens? Is it that the existing products/screens are not very attractive?
If you go around the DR and look at the Dominicans residences it is almost always open windows with no screens. The foreigners would be your major customers, along with some upscale Dominicans. Obviously this is a small market compared to the locals.
If you can sell products that the locals buy you have a much better chance at success in this country.
Sky,
You seem to have very good information. Do you think that if the government was approached along the lines of say a drive to reduce the threat of malaria and dengue by getting windows screened that would prompt the locals to demand screens?
