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>

Which screen material should I choose?

• <div><p>The screen material you choose depends on your needs. Here are some differences to consider:</p><ul><li><p>Fiberglass is the least expensive but needs replacing more often.</p></li><li><p>Aluminum suits almost any job and doesn’t stretch as easily as fiberglass. </p></li><li><p>Pet-resistant screens are more expensive than fiberglass or aluminum, but they’re also wind and weather-resistant. </p></li><li><p>Metal screens, like stainless steel, are the most expensive material for rescreening your porch or sunroom. However, they last for years and are golf ball-resistant. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>
