Window Screens can be made with several types of screen material or fabric. Different color choices are available depending on the type of window screens. For insect protection, we offer standard fiberglass window screens, aluminum window screens, no-see-um screens for the tiny insects and solar insect screens for double duty of keeping out the bugs and helping block heat.

Aluminum screen frames around the outside edges hold it all together. The frame choices include several common sizes as well as color choices of white, bronze, tan, champagne and silver.

Although some areas of the country may have some common sizes, there are none considered "standard size" or type window screens. All orders for window screens are custom made to your specifications. They may be half screens for single hung or horizontal slider windows, full size window screens for double hung or wooden windows or casement window screens that attach on the inside.

Fiberglass Window Screens
The most common type of window screens are made with insect screen material made of vinyl coated fiberglass. It is standard on most new construction homes and apartments. It also makes a great economical replacement window screen on older homes. Fiberglass is a very forgiving fabric that springs back into shape if pushed on or bumped accidentally. The vinyl coating assures that your window screens will last longer exposed to the weather elements.

Aluminum Window Screens
Found on many older homes, aluminum window screens are durable, resists rust and sagging. The aluminum screens have a protective coating that prevents corrosion and strengthens the mesh. Great for matching existing aluminum window screens or upgrades. The black color aluminum screen has been known for it's good outward visibility among standard type insect screens.

No-See-Um Window Screens
These special window screens have a fiberglass mesh that is tighter than standard to help keep out smaller insects such as sand fleas and the no-see-um bugs typically found in coastal or marshy areas. The mesh count (threads per square inch) is 20 x 30 as compared to the standard 18 x 16 mesh insect screens.

Solar Insect Window Screens
Similar to the no-see-um mesh, the solar insect window screens also have a 20 x 30 mesh fiberglass. They look similar to a standard window screen when installed on your windows, but only slightly darker. The solar insect window screens help cool your home by blocking up to 60% of the sun's heat before it reaches the window glass. This translates in to cooler rooms and lower cooling costs in warm climates.

Screen is available in a variety of materials, but aluminum and fiberglass are by far the most common. Specialty screening includes extra-heavy pet-resistant screen; screen that blocks as much as 90% of solar-heat gain; and noncorroding bronze, monel (an alloy of nickel and copper), or stainless steel for coastal installations.

Standard door and window screen has a mesh size of 18x16, indicating that there are 18 strands per inch in one direction and 16 in the other. This screen can be used on a porch, but a mesh size of 18x14 uses a slightly larger-diameter wire, is stronger, and spans larger openings. If your area is plagued by tiny biting insects (sometimes called “no-see-ums” by their victims), 20x20 mesh may be a better choice.

How to Replace a Fiberglass Screen

Screens get damaged and it becomes necessary to replace them. Even fiberglass screening, which is one of the durable of screening materials, can't stand up to everything, especially the damage that children and pets can dish out. Fortunately, the project is an easy one and anyone can do this simple repair. Whether it's a screen door or window, it should only take about a half an hour to replace the screen.

Step 1Place the screen frame on a flat surface. Use a flat head screwdriver to pry up the spline. Pull out the rest of the spline from the window. Take out the old screen and discard it.

Step 2Clean out the groove. Use a toothbrush to brush out any dirt or debris that may be in the groove, or the new spline may not stay in place.

Step 3Lay the new screening out over the frame and cut to one inch larger than the frame, all the way around. Center the piece of screen over the frame.

Step 4Cut the corners of the screen at a 45 degree angle, just outside the spline groove. Using the convex end of the splining roller, insert the sides of the screen and then the top and bottom.

Step 5Place the spline in one corner of the frame over the screen and use the concave side of the roller to insert the spline all the way around. Cut the end of the spline off and tuck it in back at the beginning.

Step 6Place the utility knife on the outside of the spline and cut away the extra screening material. Replace the screen.
