What holds the screen in place on a screen door?

• <div><p>The screen on many screen doors is held in place by screen spline. Screen spline is typically a thin vinyl tubing that fits into the groove of the door’s frame and holds the screen in place. To install the spline on a screen door, you’ll need a spline roller—a tool that presses the spline and screen into the door’s narrow groove. Note that old spline can crack and break, so replacing your screens is a good time to replace the spline, too. </p></div>

Q: Are there any rebates or incentives for installing solar screens?

• <div><p>Some local utilities or state programs offer rebates or tax incentives for energy-efficient upgrades, including solar screens. Make sure to check with your local energy provider or government agency to see if you qualify for any cost-saving programs. Federal tax credits may also be available for qualifying window and exterior home upgrades.</p></div>

Q: Can window screens block UV rays?

• <div><p>Many kinds of window screens, such as solar screens, are designed to reduce the amount of harmful ultraviolet rays that pass through them and enter your home. The materials typically have UV-blocking properties. However, they may not completely eliminate all UV rays from passing through your home. Different window screens are designed for different purposes, and not all are designed to block or reduce UV rays. Do your research to make sure you&rsquo;re getting the type of window screen to suit your needs.</p></div>

Q: Can you patch a screen door?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;d rather repair your screen door mesh than replace it, you can patch it. Purchase a mesh patch for screen doors with small holes or tears, especially if the mesh is pretty new. Hardware stores and websites sell mesh patches that are easy to apply with an adhesive or a warm hair dryer. Keep in mind that repairs won&rsquo;t look as aesthetically pleasing in most cases as a full replacement. </p></div>

Q: Can you replace the screen without removing the door?

• <div><p>Yes, you can replace the screen without removing the door in most cases depending on the frame holding the screen. Doors with removable spline and screen frames make it a snap to replace the mesh while the door remains in place. The best part is that it&rsquo;s a simple DIY project requiring a few tools in addition to the screen material.</p></div>

The company was abrupt, expensive, and below average in quality. They had to be called back to do some finishing touches. One of them to clean a screen of dust and spiderwebs. I was told that they couldn't clean the screen because it couldn't be removed. I came back later and cleaned the...

It was a nightmare. First they installed used materials in the ceiling they were supposed to replace, then had to take it down and do it again. Very sloppy. Did not insulate windows and left large gaps at the top near the ceiling where the insulation and closure should have gone. One of the...
