Window screens<\/a> are an effective, simple way to keep bugs and pests out of the home while inviting fresh air indoors. Plus, screens can help filter sun and dampen outside noise. Unfortunately, the screens or their frames can be damaged easily. Wood window frames can shrink, while vinyl or aluminum window frames can warp, causing the screen joints to loosen and the screen mesh to sag.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minor holes and tears in the window screen mesh are also common problems. Use screen repair tools like adhesive, spline rollers and pre-manufactured patches to patch a window screen in three easy steps. This guide will teach you how to replace and repair your window screens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: Retain the bent, old screen spline if it\u2019s flexible and can be shifted back into place. If not, purchase a new window screen spline<\/a> for a longer-lasting window frame repair. Jump to Specific Section<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Replace a Window Screen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Severe damage to your window screen is a clear sign that you need to replace them. Screens with large holes and rips should be replaced, not patched. If your screen mesh is shiny, rather than dark and matte, or you\u2019re noticing more outside noise than usual, these are also signs that the mesh is old and worn and should be replaced.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replacing window screens will improve both the look and security of your home. The steps to learn how to replace window screen mesh are similar for both wood windows<\/a> and aluminum windows<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: If the window<\/a> is difficult to open and close, the window screen’s frame may be bent out of place. In this case, you may need to replace the frame as well as the screen mesh with a pre-framed window screen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
