Replacing your window screens can be an intimidating and arduous task. But it’s actually a lot easier than it looks! Whether you need to change a broken window screen or you want to install a newer, more effective one, with these simple steps that serve as your guide to window screen replacement, you can enjoy your new window screen in no time at all!
The first thing you should do is to cut the replacement screen in the right size. Make sure to wear gloves while cutting up the screen! At this point, you should prepare the other tools you will need, like your screwdriver and your screen roller.
Next, remove the spline and the old screen fabric from its frame. Over the bare frame, lay the new screen you prepared and cut it so that it is just a little bit bigger than the frame. Remember to trim the corners off.
Then, with the use of your screen roller, put the new screen into the spline channel. When this is finished, put the spline back in place. This may stretch the fabric, but just trim off the excess.
