Why Replace Window Screen Frames?
Bent window-screen frame can create gaps that lets bugs into your home.
Older window-screen frames can suffer from worn-out internal splines, which can make the screen sag or come loose.
If you see signs such as bending or warping, splintered corners, or loose parts that no longer hold the mesh firmly, it’s time for new window-screen frames.
Frame Replacement Options
Just as window screens come in different materials—ranging from Solar Screens for Windows to Security Window Screens—frames can also vary.
Common window-screen frame materials include:
- Wood – Classic appearance but more prone to moisture damage, deteriorates faster than other window-screen frame material.
- Aluminum – Lightweight yet durable; a popular choice for most homes. Heavyweight aluminum allows for even stronger and larger window screens.
- Metal Alloys – Heavier-gauge frames offering robust protection, such as security window screen installations.
If you opt for an upgrade, you can customize both the frame and the mesh material for enhanced benefits, such as turf protection, heat-reduction, or airflow improvement.
