Even the highest quality screen available will deteriorate over time. When it eventually becomes necessary to replace or repair window screens, call a professional with the tools and experience to do the job properly.
Sometimes it's possible to take screens to a shop to be repaired.
However, if many screens need to be rescreened or repairs need
to be made to frame or hardware to make sure screens fit properly,
it may work better to have the service professional come to the
location. Also, many window screen companies are strictly mobile, so
there may be no choice or cost savings in not having a professional
go to a consumer's home to make repairs.
Insect screen mesh is available in metal and fiberglass in different colors so homeowners have a choice of window screen materials. The main concern would be to make sure repaired or replacement screens match older screens.
Solar screening is a unique woven mesh that can block up to 90% of the sun's hot rays before they enter your windows. It is excellent for use on windows, doors and porches. It's made of strong, extremely durable, vinyl-coated polyester fabric and first developed for use on outdoor furniture.
Solar screens require a heavier frame than traditonal insect screen frames so older insect screens cannot usually be fitted with solar mesh.
If a frame is bent and no longer fits tightly, it may be advisable to get a new screen to provide maximum protection against insects.
