Abstract
A screen product such as a window screen or a door screen displays a visible marker. Different weave patterns and/or density patterns may be used to create the visible marker. Various methods may be employed for manufacturing or displaying the visible marker on the screen product. The visible marker allows the window screen or door screen to be visually perceived to prevent accidents and other mishaps.

A screen product comprising:
- a frame that defines an exterior portion;
- and
- a screen removably received by the frame, the screen comprising:
- a plurality of longitudinal threads that extend along a first direction;
- and
- a plurality of widthwise threads that extend along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, wherein the longitudinal threads and the widthwise threads are weaved to form a mesh that includes a first pattern configured to achieve a first transparency and a second pattern that is different from the first pattern and configured to achieve a second transparency that is different from the first transparency;
- wherein the first and second transparencies are operable to produce a visually perceptible difference between the first and second transparencies when the screen product is viewed;
- wherein the longitudinal threads and widthwise threads are the same color;
- and
- wherein the screen is configured to be used in a door or window opening to provide a visible indication of presence of the screen due to differences in light attenuation by the first and second transparencies and not due to color or hue of the screen itself.
