Screen Tight - Window Screens - The Home Depot

Question 1

Why is getting the right window screen width important?

Accepted Answer

The right window screen width ensures your screen fits securely within the frame for complete coverage and protection against pests. A screen that fits well also functions better, ensuring secure installation, smooth operation, aesthetic appeal, and longevity. At The Home Depot, we offer window screens in just the right width for your home, from 0.75 in to 26 in.

Question 2

I have casement windows that open and close by cranking. Are there specific types of screens that I should look for?

Accepted Answer

Casement windows have a unique challenge, where the screen must stay inside the frame, allowing the sash to move freely. You can install an interior-mounted screen on the inside of the window frame, or a retractable screen that rolls up into a cassette. Magnetic or clip-on screens are great DIY options you can easily remove for quick cleaning and full window access. Casement windows are great for ventilation, so avoid an overly dense screen that blocks too much air.

Question 3

What are the benefits of choosing the right window screen length?

Accepted Answer

Selecting the right length ensures a snug and secure fit, preventing gaps for insects to enter while maximizing airflow. The right size screen not only looks better but also functions better, delivering years of longevity and performance. We offer window screens in various lengths to help you find just the right fit, from 6 to 3600 in.

Question 4

How do I keep my window screens looking new?

Accepted Answer

A little cleaning and maintenance goes a long way. Clean your window screens at least twice a year—once in spring and once in fall—to maintain that like-new look. Remove the screen from the frame, rinse it with a garden hose, scrub gently with a soft brush and mild soap, rinse again, and let it air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and abrasive scrubbers that can damage the mesh or frame. For even better results, store your screens indoors during winter and apply a UV protectant spray to prevent fading.
