Extruded aluminum sliding screen doors

The best sliding screen door for a lot of traffic is the Extruded aluminum sliding screen door, It is heavy duty and extremely sturdy.  You can also get this door in a few different finishes and make sure that it is a baked enamel finish so you can make sure that it will last you for years without chipping or fading.  you can ad a pet door which will protect the bottom portion of the screen from tearing.  this is called a pet protector or pet grille.  Make sure the sliding screen door comes with all metal parts, especially the rollers, handle and lock latch.  One of the key things to look out for is metal ball bearing rollers and a thick frame gauge, if you have this you should be O.K.  We install Retractable screens in the following areas, Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Simi Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley

 

Avoid Roll form sliding screen doors like the plague, they will only frustrate you every time you have to open them.  I do not recommend buying these light weight usually made out of tin or steal screen doors.

 Some patio screen doors may need a pet guard grille

The screen protector is a must with kid’s and pet’s.  We are in business thanks to children and pet’s they are the number one cause for screens breaking and tearing.  One way to help keep your screens lasting longer is the screen protector or what some people call the pet grille.  They are good for swinging screen doors and sliding screen doors only.  They get installed on the outside of the screen frame and are held on by four screws on the four corners.  There are two kind of screen protectors, one is thin, light weight, rattles and usually is very warped.  The other type is thicker, heavier, does not rattle and is pretty straight.  Another way to tell them apart is the one that rattles is spray painted and is usually all scratched and the other better quality screen protector’s finish is baked enamel which always looks like it’s in new condition.  these can be installed by a handyman or a screen company will do it.

How to clean a patio screen door and what you will need

  • Bucket
  • Large sponge
  • Dish soap
  • Towels (for drying)
  • Hose

We strongly suggest you clean one window screen at a time, because if you don’t and clean them all at once, it will be difficult to find the correct window each screen fits into on the house.

  1. Find a area with grass where your hose can reach.
  2. Go get a screen.
  3. Lay it down flat on the grass.
  4. Put the sponge in the bucket with dish soap and water.
  5. Grab the sponge and while screen lays flat on the grass, scrub it softly with sponge from side to side 2 or 3 times.
  6. Flip screen over and repeat step 5.
  7. Grab hose and rinse it off.
  8. Stand screen up and with a dry towel wipe it dry.
  9. Once you’ve dried it, you’re done with that screen.
  10. Go install it back in the correct window and continue by repeating step 2.

Have you noticed how bad window screens can get after not cleaning them for a few years.  There is a correct way to clean them and no it’s not hosing them off while standing in front of the window with your hand in your pocket.  If you want your window screens to look like new for years, you’re going to have to spend an afternoon with them at least once a year.

Things you will need to clean them

  • Bucket
  • Large sponge
  • Dish soap
  • Towels (for drying)

If you’re are planning on doing your own rescreening of your window screen or screen doors here are some tips

There are four things that make a window screen and they are:

  • Aluminum frame
  • Screen mesh (fiberglass)
  • Aluminum corners (for miter cut frames)
  • splyne (the rubber that holds the screen in place)

Splyne roller

Tools

  • Screen splyne roller (for rolling in splyne)
  • Flat head screw driver (for pushing in corners)
  • Box cutter blade (for cutting excess splyne and screen)
  • Saw or electric chop saw (for cutting aluminum frame)
  • clamps (for holding frame in place on a table)

Measuring

Measuring the opening where the screen goes is very important.  If you have aluminum or vinyl encasement’s with channels for the screen then the rule is you have to measure from the inside of the channel to the the outside of the opposite channel and then deduct 1/8.  This will ensure you that the screen will have room to be taken in and out.  If you have double hung wood windows then measure top to bottom and side to side and deduct 1/8 to 1/4 from the width and from the length.

Building it

Once the frame is cut and put together with the corners then you must screen it.  For this you will need a table to work on.  Place the frame on the table and roll the screen over it, then roll in the splyne with the screen splyne tool.  You may need to to this a couple of times to get the screen straight, do not do it to tight that the frame is con-caving in .  After you’re done and satisfied with your screen be very careful and cut out all the excess screen away from the frame and you are done.

These are the different type and style of screen doors and window application.

Window Screen

Leave a comment

The main purpose of a window screen is to keep bugs out of your home.  That’s why some people call them insect or fly screens.  There are many types of window screens from metal mesh to the new tight weave fiber glass screening.

Solar Screens

Solar screens are good looking and are great to fight the suns rays.  The special screen mesh is designed to block 70% to 90% of the suns rays, protecting your carpet,furniture and your wallet from the high power bill. The solar screen mesh is made of a very strong screen mesh and is extremely durable.

Retractable and Removable Screens

Retractable window screens are the latest in window screens and work very well for most situations.  They are heavy duty and have a very nice look as-well.  the main purpose of a retractable screen is to fit in areas where a regular screen can’t fit and also for homeowners who just don’t like the old look of window screens.

Window Screens with Hangers

These are for situations where the home has double hung windows and the best window screens installation option is a top and bottom hinge system.

Rescreening

Leave a comment

 

Rescreening your windows can be done very easily and the perfect time is spring. This can change the look of your home and give you a clear view.  The screen which is most popular is fiber-glass screening and is extremely clear to see thru and cleaning it is also done very easily and quick.

There are two mesh colors which are used in just about every job site and that is, gray and charcoal.  The charcoal is what the black mesh is called and the two mesh colors are used to match your homes existing mesh color.  the clearest is the charcoal screen because it does not reflect the light as much as the gray screen.  The suns ray reflect brighter on the lighter gray mesh and this tends to block the view a little more than the charcoal mesh.  Other than a little more reflection they are both excellent screening mesh and last in great condition for at least 7 to 12 years.  So in our opinion fiberglass mesh screen is the best way to go and if you have to pick, go for the charcoal.

Sliding screen door roller maintenance

Sliding screen door rollers

Sliding screen doors take a beating, especially the top and bottom rollers.  To maintain the screen doors in good working condition we recommend you hose them off every six months to get some of the dust and dirt off and after letting them dry apply some WD-40.  This will give them a much longer life and help prevent your sliding screen door from getting stuck or popping of the track.  No one want’s to struggle with a patio screen when just a few minutes every six months can keep it sliding like new
