The most common sizes of window screens are 24 to 36 inches wide by 36 to 48 inches tall. Most window screens of these sizes fit standard windows found in modern homes. However, you should always prepare for window screen repair or replacement by measuring the windows in your home for accuracy. Window screens outside of these dimensions will likely need to be custom ordered, increasing the cost to repair or replace them.
If you only need a small repair for your window screen, it’s likely more cost-effective to repair rather than replace it. However, if you have to make the same repairs to a hole in the screen, for example, then it may be worth replacing the screen altogether. On the other hand, if the cost to make repairs to the screens or frames exceeds 50% of the cost to replace, you may want to consider replacing the window screens in question.
Many kinds of window screens, such as solar screens, are designed to reduce the amount of harmful ultraviolet rays that pass through them and enter your home. The materials typically have UV-blocking properties. However, they may not completely eliminate all UV rays from passing through your home. Different window screens are designed for different purposes, and not all are designed to block or reduce UV rays. Do your research to make sure you’re getting the type of window screen to suit your needs.
