What is the difference between hook and loop?

Each fastener is made up of two pieces of materials – one with lots of tiny loops and the other has lots of tiny hooks you can hardly see. One part is the rough side it is called the hook. And the other part is the soft side it is called the loop. The hook and loop fastener’s name was inspired by how the technology works. The VELCRO® brand of hook and loop was invented by a man named George de Mestral in the 1940’s while hunting in the Jura mountains in Switzerland. Mr. de Mestral, a Swiss engineer, realized that the tiny hooks of the cockle-burs were stuck on his pants and in his dog’s fur and wondered how they attached themselves. Under the scrutiny of the microscope, he observed the hooks engaging the loops in the fabric of his pants. Want to learn more about how VELCRO® Brand works?

With a garage door screen, you can enjoy all the benefits of an outdoor living environment without some of the pesky insects outdoors bring. One of the biggest nusances of outdoor environments is the presence of flying insects.

Using a garage door screen allows you to enjoy all the pleasures of the outdoors with a little privacy and the absence of annoying flying insects invading your space.
Bees, flies , mosquitoes and other flying insects with their various germs and diseases can be detoured by this system. Most people and their pets despise itchy bites, buzzing noises and relentless flies. Aside from the continued annoyance, insects can spread diseases.

Most people find the presence of mosquitoes, flies, bees and no-see-ums very annoying, especially when there is food or drink present. Many insects carry diseases and can transfer pathogens to food.

Flies are strongly suspected of transmitting at least 65 diseases to humans including typhoid fever, dysentery, cholera, poliomyelitis, yaws, anthrax, tularemia, leprosy and tuberculosis. Flies regurgitate and excrete wherever they come to rest and thereby mechanically transmit disease organisms.

Mosquitos can carry viruses, bacteria and parasites in their saliva. When they bite you, they can transmit those pathogens into your body causing severe and even life-threatening illness.

Save on emergency room and doctor visits, bug sprays, candles, wasted food polluted by flies and various other issues by installing a garage door screen (check out our article on how to keep insects out of the garage).

A garage screen can save you a costly visit to the doctor or emergency room
