Parts and Components
Window screen parts and components refer to the different pieces that make up a window screen. Some common parts and components of a window screen include:
Frame: The frame is the outer structure of the screen and holds the screen material in place. It is typically made of aluminum or plastic and can be square, rectangular, or custom-shaped to fit the window.
Screen Material: The screen material is the mesh material that covers the frame and prevents insects from entering the home. It is typically made of fiberglass, aluminum, or plastic and is available in various mesh sizes to suit different needs.
Spline: The spline is a thin, flexible strip that holds the screen material in place within the frame. It is typically made of rubber and is inserted into the groove in the frame.
Corners: The corners are the pieces that hold the frame together and provide stability to the screen. They are typically made of plastic or metal and come in various shapes and sizes.
Tension Springs: Tension springs and Plungers springs are used in some screen frames to provide tension to the screen material, keeping it tight and wrinkle-free.
Fasteners: Fasteners, such as screws, nails, or clips, are used to secure the screen frame to the window frame.
Latches and Handles: Latches and handles are used to secure the screen in place when it is not in use. They come in various styles and designs to suit different needs.
These parts and components work together to create a functional and durable window screen that provides protection from insects while allowing fresh air to circulate in the home. Overall, window screen hardware serves the function of holding the screen material in place, allowing for easy removal and replacement, and ensuring a tight fit in the window frame to keep out insects and other debris. The specific hardware used can vary depending on the design of the window and the type of screen being used.
