A window screen is a mesh or perforated material that covers a window opening to keep out insects, debris, and other unwanted elements while allowing air and light to pass through. Window screens are typically made of fiberglass, aluminum, or vinyl and can be either fixed or removable. Removing a window screen is a simple task that can be done in a few minutes.
There are several reasons why you might need to remove a window screen. You may need to clean the screen, repair a hole or tear, or replace the screen entirely. Removing the screen will also allow you to access the window frame for cleaning or repairs.
