Window Screen Replacement

Window screen replacement may be needed for a variety of reasons

Either way its not a huge issue, you can buy new screens complete from your local glass shop, you can have them installed or you can do it yourself. Window screen replacement is not that hard to do.

Replacing Window Screens in

Wooden windows come in a variety of forms. The vast majority of builder installed wooden windows are "side sliders".

Replacing Screens in

Aluminum Storm Windows

Another very common situation you are going to run into is window screen replacement in aluminum storm windows. These are usually installed right over top of the existing wooden windows and come in the same vertical and side slider models just discussed.

There are a few annoying storm designs that do come apart from the outside. These should be obvious when you see the screws and retaining clips that hold the glass in on the outside. These styles are usually on the ground floor only.

Once you have successfully accessed the screenframe in your aluminum storms you will see that the frames fit in aluminum channels within the storms.

Circular Arch Shaped Screens

I recently bought a house in Florida. A common thing is screening in your entryway. You can buy the straight aluminum frame pieces at Home Depot or Lowes. My question is how do you handle an archway or curves?

Is there pieces available that are curved or can be curved without expensive tools or ordering via some custom expensive place?

The bars sold at Lowes and Home depot are usually 3/4" x 3/8" bars. To bend them you will need to cut notches in the bar as shown in the picture. You can do this by hand with a miter box and a hacksaw but it will be time consuming.

Hi I have a unique question.

Need to buy screening

The duplex we moved into doesn't have screens, and places like Lowes and Home Depot don't sell them without the windows. We looked on the windows and tried to find some identification markings, but weren't successful in finding a brand name of any sort. Just a date sort of looking thing.

The windows are the slide-side-to-side type of storm window. Do you have any idea how to either (a) figure out the manufacturer so we can get screens from them, or (b) a way to just buy the types of screening that we need?

Most window manufacturers use common types of screen frames. If you have modern vinyl side sliders, you probably have screens that cover the entire window. These screens are often made of 3/8" x 3/4" bars. Loews and Home Depot usually carry this screen bars in 4 foot lengths.

screen replacement policy

I live in a Condo(high rise) and there is a no screen policy.(meaning permanent screening in the window)

I live in Northern California so the temperatures are moderate. But I like having screening in order to keep moths and flying bugs out.
