Makes replacing a window screen simple and easy

When I first saw that there was a hole in one of my window screens, I searched to see what companies offered window screen repair. Not seeing many, I wondered if it might be a common DIY task. I then searched for "how to" videos and found that it really did seem to be a simple task. My next step was to find the right screening material. After finding New York Wire 33105 fiberglass screening listed as an Amazon best seller and the most commonly used in new home construction, I ordered the charcoal, though I was concerned that it would be too dark compared to the rest of my windows. I took a piece of the existing spline to a big box store so that I could measure it against the size dot that is placed on the front of packages. My screens used .125 spline and I used a spline tool to quickly insert it. Looking that the newly completed screen, I was still very concerned about how dark it appeared to be. However, once it was put back into the window, it matched the other screens perfectly. I can easily recommend this product both for the ease of use as well as for the completed appearance.

Great value. Quality product!!!

This is a great quality screen. I went to Home Depot for a project that we were working on, just needed "basic" screen. The cheapest thing I found was a 20.00 kit and the screen was about 1/2 the size of this one. We weren't making screens for our windows, just a project. I ordered this and was really impressed. This is just as good of quality as they had at the store for about 1/4 of the price. It would work for window screens just as well as the project we were doing. It's a large roll, so we have quite a bit left. We were only making sifters for a summer gardening project. We are going to be doing new screens for our windows soon, and I am going to be ordering more of this to do those as well.

Really Great Product for the price. I promise.

This Fiberglass Screen is fantastic. No Lie,...it is really sturdy, cuts well, and has great strength. It looks really great in my door. (I have a nice, new, screen door with panes that go up and down. Not like those metal doors you see, really nice screen door.) I will definitely refer this product to others and highly, personally, recommend it.

Good screen. Instructions for sliding door.

This roll is enough for one screen door or two medium windows. It looks good, feels strong, and is easy to cut and work with. I don't mind because thankfully the days of metal slivers are over, and this is an easy and inexpensive upgrade. I chose the gray, but honestly can't tell the difference between it and black, either from outside or inside. I just ordered a 25 ft. roll to complete a few more windows and another sliding door. This was my first but came out great. Instructions for rescreening a sliding patio door To remove door from the track, first loosen the screws that hold its wheels on. They may be on top, bottom, or both, so look for a little cutout with a phillips head screw, possibly on the side. There's probably two total. Unscrew almost all the way, then push up on the top and out on the bottom to dislodge from track. You may have to run a flat screwdriver along bottom to help push the wheels up and off the track. I found laying it on carpet or grass works best as it doesn't move around. Lay it flat and starting in a corner, pry up and remove the rubber spline that holds the old screen in. I like to reuse this if possible, but to my surprise there *was* no spline to remove. Luckily I had ordered some just in case, so I tore out the old screen and used a utility knife to clean out the groove. Remove any latching mechanism from the screen as well. Lay the new screen over the door with at least 1 inch extra all around, and tape down four corners for now. I now own the pizza-cutter looking tool, but previously used things like a knitting needle, popsicle stick, ballpoint pen, you get the idea. Anything thin (but not sharp) to help push the screen and spline into the groove. With the tool, they recommend using it first to form the screen into the groove, then laying in the spline. I skip that step and do both at once. Just make sure it's kept somewhat taut and not saggy. You can always reposition and start over, but that's seldom necessary. Cut off excess spline and use a pen in the corners, since tool can't do them. Recheck that spline is seated all around, then run a sharp utility knife or box cutter around the excess screening. Keep any remnants because you never know what you might need them for :) Reattach any latch, put it back on the track top first, and tighten the wheel screws. Easy peasy.

thick long and wide

The fiberglass screen works great it was longer and wider then a standard sliding door screen very easy to install I wasn't to sure this product. Wold be as strong and as thick as I wanted it to be but it was better then expected my dog always chews on the screens we have for our windows so as soon as I installed it I tested it out first thing he did was put his paws up on it and started scratching usually the screen rips with in seconds but this time it was hard for him to get through it I'm very Impressed with this product now I do not have to worry about my German Shepard getting through or damaging the screen I will be replacing the rest of the screens on my windows with the product

Just what I needed to make removeable window screens for my car!

I used this to make screens for my car windows to use while camping. I cut a pattern out of paper, then this screen. I stitched on edge binding and used tiny rare-earth magnets every two inches. This screen was very easy to cut and sew. The rough cut edges were not sharp or raveling. The completed window screen is about 70" long and 15" high. It rolls up very nicely (the magnets are strong enough to hold the roll together). The screen material is flexible and smooth to the touch. Despite the almost fabric-like handling of the screen material, it is very durable and I have not had even the tiniest tear-out or malformation from handling. This was an excellent product for my project.

The perfect screen to cover the air conditioner to keep bugs and lizards out of my apartment!

I have been using this screen since 2015. I rent an apartment and I use it to cover the air conditioner on the outside on my patio. When I first moved in, I found all sorts of spiders and even a lizard (gross) in my apartment. One day I watched a lizard climb into an air conditioner and it was clear how they had gotten inside, despite the fact that we live on the second floor. This screen is the perfect thickness without being "too thick" so that the air conditioner received proper ventilation. It has not interfered at all with the functioning or cleaning of the air conditioner. I replace the screen once a year when I do spring cleaning, and I just brush it off with a dish scrub brush the rest of the year. I like this brand of screening because one roll gives me enough screen for two applications. When I store it, it doesn't get jumbled up, crinkled, bent, or warped out of shape. It stays on the roll no matter how carelessly it was tossed in the closet and no matter how much stuff was tossed on top of it. The color of the screen is a dark charcoal gray color, more gray than black. The size is very generous measuring 36" x 84". The holes are small enough to keep fruit flies, small flies, and baby spiders out. I used all weather double stick mounting tape (outdoor) to stick the screen around the edges of the air conditioner cabinet. Since we installed it, nothing has successfully crawled through the screen, especially spiders. Prior to covering the air conditioner with screening, I got bit not once but twice by black widows in our apartment, so I am happy that we are now a spider free zone.

Useful Material For Multiple Purposes

This fiberglass screen can be used for a lot of things: as a screen to pour good old paint into to sift out rusty bits that have fallen in, as a door screen to keep out bugs, and to keep soil contained in a plant pot, plus many more uses. I bought this mainly for its gardening applications. I make terrariums and needed a way to separate the soil layer from the rocks so that it would be aesthetically pleasing. This screen does a great job at keeping soil from being flushed to the bottom of a glass terrarium. I layer my rocks in, put dried sphagnum moss on top of that, and then a screen on top of that, cut to almost the circumference (or borders) of the pot, and when it's assembled you would never know it was there, but it does its job! As the material is fiberglass, it won't break or rip on its own; it's easy to cut to whatever shape you need. It won't grow mold in a garden environment or disintegrate over time. I found this to be a good fiberglass screen. Recommended.

Used For Gardening!

I know that I did not use this for what it was made for, so I can't comment on it about its use for windows. I bought this specifically to use in the bottom of my 50 gallon drums to raise tomatoes in. For 2 years in a row I lost whole gardens (in the ground) to fire ants. Fire ants are not attracted to sweets and other things that our ordinary ants are attracted to--they are attracted to woody products such as plants, trees, shrubs, and even clothing. For 2 years they tunneled under my garden and nested under the roots of my vegetable plants. When my plants quit growing and started to die, I pulled them up and discovered thousands of fire ants eating the roots of my plants. There are no known ways to get rid of fire ants, so I quit gardening. So this year I decided if I could not plant a garden in the ground, I would at least grow a few vegetables in 50 gallon drums. So what I did was after I made big drainage holes in the bottom of the drums, I placed sheets of fiberglass wire screening in the bottom of the drums before filling it with soil. The screening holds in the soil and also permits water to drain as it should--at the same time, keeping the fire ants from tunneling into my barrels! I also took some of the screening and surrounded the plants on top of the soil once I placed my plants in the barrel--again, to prevent fire ants from tunneling into the soil. So far I have had no fire ants to find away into the barrels, so the screening worked out perfect for what I wanted it for. The screening on top of the soil allows rain/watering in, but the holes are small enough to keep out the fire ants. I had tried regular galvanized screen wire at first, but it was not very flexible and hard to position exactly right in the barrels, and plus, it cut my hands up when I was trying to work with it. The fiberglass screening is flexible and easy to position and is so soft that it does not cut my skin. So if you have a fire ant problem, and want to raise vegetables in any kind of pot or barrel outside, I would highly recommend this fiberglass screening for this purpose--as I just described above. Hope this helps others who garden with fire ant problems.

Deters cat from escape

Good Screens! My cats destroyed my old screens and I figured it would just be a matter of time before she clawed through these too. She tried a few times but gave up after awhile. I guess the strength of these was enough to deter her from escaping! Pretty excellent purchase!
