Common Problems That Require Fixing
Your window screens endure constant exposure to the elements, leaving them vulnerable to wear and tear over time. This can lead to weakening or malfunctions. Let’s take a closer look at some common window screen issues that may need repair.
Tears and Holes in the Screen
Small tears in window screens are usually overlooked until they become bigger and more noticeable. Usually, these tears and holes happen because of pets, extreme weather, and even accidental bumps. It’s important to check your window screens regularly for any signs of tears. This way, you can repair them before they get bigger.
Bent or Damaged Frames
Your window screen will only last as long as its frame. Frames can get bent or warped from heavy winds, rough handling, or simple wear and tear. Once it bends, it creates gaps through which bugs can sneak in. Replacing a damaged frame with a stable one is important for a properly functioning screen.
Worn-Out or Loose Mesh
Years of sunlight, moisture, and changing seasons can take their toll on your screen mesh, which makes it saggy, brittle, and loose. If you don’t notice it immediately, pests will get in. Substituting a worn-out mesh with a durable and weather-resistant one brings it back to life and ensures your window screen is doing its work.
Difficult-to-Operate Screens
Screens that won’t slide or fit properly are annoying. Most of the time, these difficult-to-operate screens could have underlying structural issues. By fixing these problems, your screen will be back to normal, saving you from frustration and wasted time.
