Screens
 |
While screens don't play a role in your
windows' main functions, they are handy to have. Thanks to screens, opening a window doesn't mean letting in flies, mosquitoes, and other unwanted pests. Although barely noticeable when they are in good repair, torn or bowed screens can be eyesores. In areas where winters are severe, screens are generally stored and replaced with storm windows. You can also buy combination storm and screen windows that you can leave on all year long; their frames are made of wood or aluminum, and the screen fabric is aluminum or fiberglass. |

Solar or sun screening, made from
vinyl-coated fiberglass, comes in several colors and blocks heat gain
through windows and doors. |
