What are solar screens?

• <div><p>Solar screens use a thick mesh of polyester to block out the UV waves and solar heat. While they are more expensive at about <b>$7.50 per square foot</b>, they can protect your porch or hardwood floors from sun damage and keep the room or porch on the other side of the patio cool.</p></div>

Can I repair a window screen myself?

• <div><p>It’s possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-replace-window-screen.htm">make minor screen repairs yourself</a> using a waterproof adhesive for small tears or a screen patch kit for larger tears and holes. However, it’s usually a better option to call in a professional window technician. It’s very easy to use too much waterproof glue, resulting in a messy appearance that might demand a full replacement anyway. A screen repair technician will not only be able to carry out clean repairs and patches that aren’t obvious, but they can also let you know if replacing your screen is a more cost-effective option.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a screened-in porch?

• <div><p>A screened-in porch requires maintenance to keep the screens clean and in good shape, and you may have to do some screen repair or replacement from time to time. A screen porch isn&rsquo;t an all-season porch, so the weather can get in, including wind and rain.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain an egress window?

• <div><p>Clean the glass regularly, inspect the frame and well for debris, and ensure the cover or well drains properly.</p></div>

Q: Why did my window seal fail?

• <div><p>Window seals don&rsquo;t last forever, so they&rsquo;ll inevitably fail for one reason or another. One of the most common reasons is the expansion and contraction of the glass. When the glass gets warm from sunlight, it expands and adds pressure to the seal; at night, as the glass cools, it contracts. This process, day in and day out, can eventually cause the seal to fail. Other common sources of failure include the house settling over time, chemicals that damage the seal when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-window-frame.htm">repainting windows</a>, and incorrect window installation.</p></div>
