Can I remove the paper of the screen and add fine metal screen to keep the cat out of the hallway but allow air to flow into the back rooms?

I think so. It would be easy enough under the grid, but a bit more tricky at the edges of each panel where the paper is secured between two pieces of wood. You'd probaly want to take an X-acto knife to edge the paper off the grid, tho - it's glued. Done carefully, I think it would work and look nice. It might be cool to leave some of the paper and remover other sections - according to whatever pattern you like, then apply the screening. It could look pretty unique and ventilate.

These screens are usually very light weight - a determined adult cat could push it over by deciding to scratch on it if the screen is open to a fairly flat angle (e.g., the angle shown in the picture). Speaking from experience, here...

You would have to attache it to the outside frame in the back of each pannel and you would have a slight gap between the all the little sq. pannels in the front and where attached to the back outside frame.

It may be possible but the wood is delicate and the beauty would probably be seriously compromised. I believe the paper is porous and allows air flow.Kate

Yes they could - it's paper. Quite sturdy but cats claws could easily damage it if they are persistent.

If you have the netting attached, then no. You can only enter through the "door" on the side. If you do not attach the netting, then it will be perfect. (The screen on the one we purchased is one continuous piece that wraps around.)

No you need to use metal screening. Mice will eat through this. it stands up to cat claws great and I like this screen better than regular screen.

Cats could probably easily enter. There is another one a friend told me about that has a magnetic bottom panel. If you're worried about cats I would suggest finding on like that

I don't believe it would block the screen but I would be careful where I would put the brackets. Bathrooms fluctuate in temperature & humidity. I'm not sure if the Command Strip would be able to handle it.

All the home screen is, is a thick peice of paper under a piece of plastic, so yes you could make a different one out of paper and change it

I would say she would pull it out of the frame itself before she would scratch through it. The way screens are held in place is not terribly secure. As for the screening itself... I would not trust it. I wish I had a better answer but my pets are cats.

Yes all sides are screen, I have 3 cats at home and none of them have ever gotten in before. I've had my chameleon in here for over a year now. Its a great cage. Also! The screen IS metal, your cats claw isn't going to easily rip it like someone else said.

I suppose if you can frame out a part of the screen with wood to hold the frame of the pet door. But if your screen has an aluminum frame it might be difficult. Ask someone who sells or makes the kind of screen you are talking about.

I just put pet screen on my new screened porch. This screen is pet proof and having your cat climb on it will not hurt it. The builders that installed this screen showed me a picture of his dog climbing up the screen and that was proof for me. As far as ( no-see-ums ) I am from the south also and I haven't had the screen up that long so can't answer that one for you. I do know that the holes are very small and may deter them from getting in but I guess we'll find out next summer.

Yes. I have modern double-pane windows with the screen integral to the window, and it's no problem. The fan mounts well to the inside (room side) of the frame. In fact, the window doesn't even go up quite far enough to clear the fan, and it's still okay, although in this case it is not easily removable. You have to mark screw holes with their template and screw it to the window frame... a bit of a pain. But it is a powerful and quiet fan.

I find if you use the heavy screens the door is fine. If you want you can get the metal frame kit for the screens (the kit to make your own screen) and modify that so that is spans the width is the screen. A wood bar would be fine too if it does not interfere with the operation if the door.

There is no sealant provided in the package. I installed my cat in the screen door to a sun room next to the garage. The plastic panels, inner and outer, will seal themselves to the door when the installation screws are tightened. That is assuming that the panels fit flush on the door all the way around.The cat door itself is hinges at the top and is held in place with a magnet on the bottom. There needs to be some clearance for the door to operatecorrectly. The cat door will let some AC out and bugs in.

The screen is not sturdy. A little pressure on them and the screen detaches from the plastic side. We are currently shopping for a new cage because of this. My cat tried to get at the cage once and the screen is very soft it's not a metal screen so claws could rip it easily.

Depending on how wide the screen door, the Claw Guard may not cover the whole door, leaving exposed screen. It is made to protect the door jam as well as 2/3 of the rest of the door. Just check measurements. It is sturdy enough to keep the two separate. Our cats don't like it as a scratching surface either.

There is no need to remove the screen with this unit, it's technically not a window unit, it's a portable. The hot air is simply expelled out the window through the hose. The window kit that comes with it worked perfectly for me. So bugs coming in aren't a worry :-)
