Some embodiments disclose using different weave patterns and/or density patterns to create the visible marker. Other embodiments disclose using different colors of thread to create the visible marker. The present disclosure also describes methods for manufacturing or displaying the visible marker on the screen. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A screen product comprising: a screen configured to be removably received by a 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 wherein the mesh includes 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; and wherein the screen product is configured to be used in a door or window opening to provide a visible indication of presence of the screen product due to differences in light attenuation by the first and second transparencies and not due to color or hue of the screen product. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The screen product of claim 1, wherein the screen includes additional patterns that are different from the first pattern and configured to achieve additional transparencies that are different from the first transparency. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The screen product of claim 1, wherein the second transparency is situated to generate a visible contrast when positioned adjacent to the first transparency, and wherein the first and second transparencies are vertical patterns that are repeated in a horizontal direction. ### Claim 4 A screen product comprising: a screen configured to be removably received by a 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 configured to achieve a first transparency and 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; and wherein the screen product is configured to be used in a door or window opening to provide a visible indication of presence of the screen product due to differences in light attenuation by the first and second transparencies and not due to color or hue of the screen product. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The screen product of claim 4, wherein the first transparency is defined by a number of longitudinal threads per inch, and wherein the density of the second transparency is different than the density of the first transparency. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The screen product of claim 4, wherein the longitudinal threads and the widthwise threads are made from a material selected from the group consisting of stainless steel, vinyl coated fiberglass yarn, and fiberglass, and wherein the longitudinal threads and widthwise threads are 0.006 inches to 0.011 inches in diameter.
