Why this score

Buyer disclosure14 / 30

Can you find out what you are buying before you sign? Published pricing is weighted hardest because it is the rarest and least game-able signal in this category.

  • Publishes wire diameter5 / 5

  • Frame material not published0 / 4
  • Publishes mesh alloy grade4 / 4
Independent testing0 / 25

ANSI/SMA 6001, AS5039 and AAMA 1901 all count equally here — each is a recognised third-party protocol. We do not rank the standards against each other, because they measure different things and no neutral crosswalk exists.

  • No third-party test standard cited0 / 18
  • Testing laboratory not named0 / 4
  • No numeric test results published0 / 3
Commitment to the buyer14 / 30

What the maker is still on the hook for after the install. A long warranty that covers labor and transfers with the house is worth more than a headline number on parts only.

  • 25-year warranty14 / 14
  • Warranty does not state both labor cover and transferability0 / 6
  • No break-in guarantee0 / 10
Retention mechanism0 / 5

How the mesh is held in the frame is the usual failure point under lever attack. Naming the mechanism is a competence signal; refusing to describe it is not.

  • Mesh retention method not described0 / 5
Domestic manufacturing10 / 10

Stated editorial position, not a performance metric: we weight US manufacturing because it shortens warranty recourse and supply lead times. Readers who do not share that preference should subtract these 10 points — the breakdown below makes that easy.
