Torn Mesh Can Often Be Re-Screened
When the aluminum or vinyl frame remains square, new mesh and spline can restore the screen without replacing the entire unit. Mesh type should fit the intended use and the existing frame channel.
Bent Frames May Need Replacement
A frame that is badly twisted or broken may not hold new mesh evenly. In that case, a replacement screen frame can be measured to fit the window opening where the system allows it.
For problems with the actual window frame, use Window Frame Repair.
Screen Fit Depends on Clips and Retainers
Spring pins, tabs, clips and channels hold screens in different ways. Missing retainers can make an otherwise good screen loose in the opening. Compatible hardware should be matched to the window system.
Screen Repair Does Not Fix Window Operation
A new screen will not correct a sash that binds, a failed balance or a leaking frame. Those conditions belong under general window repair.
