Repairing window screening involves fixing or replacing damaged mesh screens on windows to restore their ability to keep out insects while allowing airflow. The process typically includes:
Inspection: Identifying tears, holes, or loosening of the screen from the frame.
Removing the Damaged Screen: Using a flathead screwdriver or a similar tool to pry up the spline (the rubber cord that holds the screen in place), and carefully removing the damaged mesh.
Measuring and Cutting: Measuring the frame to ensure the right size of the replacement screen material. Then cutting a new piece of screen slightly larger than the frame for proper fitting.
Installing the New Screen: Laying the new screen over the frame and using a spline roller to press the new spline (or reuse the old one if still in good condition) into the groove, securing the screen in place.
Trimming Excess Material: Once the screen is tightly secured, trimming the excess screen material with a utility knife for a clean finish.
Final Check: Ensuring that the screen is taut and evenly installed without wrinkles or gaps.
Repairing window screens is a cost-effective way to maintain window functionality and appearance without replacing the entire frame.
