Q: What is the strongest material for window screens?

• <div><p>Pet-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester is one of the strongest window screen materials available, with some manufacturers touting a 7x increase in strength compared to standard fiberglass screens. Stainless steel security screens are also extremely strong, but they&rsquo;re not suitable for coastal areas due to the risk of corrosion from salty sea air. If sea air isn&rsquo;t a concern, stainless steel is extremely tough.</p></div>

Q: 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&rsquo;s frame and holds the screen in place. To install the spline on a screen door, you&rsquo;ll need a spline roller&mdash;a tool that presses the spline and screen into the door&rsquo;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: How do you replace a retractable screen on a storm door?

• <div><p>The steps to replace a retractable screen can vary, but these are the general steps: First, remove the screen cover to expose the screen mechanism and remove the clip that holds the screen in place. Next, depress the end of the screen mechanism so it releases from the door frame. Take your new screen and fit one end into the frame. You may need to rotate the mechanism to engage the spring before inserting the other end into the frame. Finally, pull the screen down the length of the door&rsquo;s opening and lock it in place with the clip.</p></div>

Q: Can I install insect screens on my skylights?

• <div><p>Yes, if you have ventilated skylights, you can install insect screens on them. Insect screens for skylights cost $10 to $50 each, depending on their size and quality. Most pros highly recommend insect screens for ventilated skylights because they keep pests outside of your home while allowing fresh air inside.</p></div>

Q: Can you add a screen door to any door frame?

• <div><p>Yes, you can add a screen door to most door frames. The screen should be able to fit standard-size door frames, so unless you have an unusually sized door, you shouldn&rsquo;t have an issue. Just make sure to properly measure the frame. When in doubt, it&rsquo;s best to let a pro take care of this task for you so it&rsquo;s installed correctly.</p></div>
