Allergy Screen
The PollenTec Screen was introduced in 2007 and is now available at The Screen
Shoppe. Its unique construction allows fresh air to flow into your rooms while
filtering out up to 100% of pollens. Testing was conducted by the European
Center for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF). The tests results verified that
100% of grass pollens, 99.71% of birch pollen, 93.1% of Stinging Nettle-pollen,
90.9% of Ragweed pollen were captured by the PollenTec screen.
