Screens

Plan screen repair around the frame, mesh and opening

A torn insect screen may need new mesh, while a bent frame, damaged corner or dragging patio screen can require a different repair. These Hamilton screen articles cover mesh selection, minor repair considerations and common sliding-screen problems.

Bring or provide the complete removable screen whenever possible. Accurate frame dimensions, spline size, hardware and the way the screen fits the window or door are as important as the mesh itself.
