    Whether it’s a simple tear or an old, worn down frame, it’s important to know when it’s time for your window screens replacement. Read on to help learn the signs a window screens replacement is needed.

    Signs That It's Time for a Window Screens Replacement

    The type of frame, mesh, and environment you live in will all play a part in determining the lifespan of your window screen. It’s important to know the specific material of your screens' mesh (steel, aluminum, fiberglass, and so forth) as the material's durability will play a part in how long your screens last.

    A standard screen that is primarily in the shade, remains fairly dry, and is occasionally cleaned, should last around 10 to 15 years before it begins to break down and you need a window screens replacement. With more regular cleaning, you can add 5 to 10 years to your window screen's lifespan.

    Inspect the screen for any holes and tears. If the screen’s mesh is starting to look especially shiny, this may mean that the screen is old and that you need a window screens replacement. If there’s a significant tear in the mesh that cannot be repaired quickly, you may want to consider replacing the entire screen.

    Window Screens Replacement Costs

Depending on the size and type of window, homeowners usually spend between $50 to $500 on a window screens replacement, which includes installation fees. For custom windows with unique shapes and sizes, a window screens replacement may cost more.

    Energy Efficient Window Screens Replacement

    Overall, window screens increase your home's energy efficiency, especially in summer, when they act as a natural source of ventilation to keep your home cool.

    Especially if you live in a sunny, hot climate, you may also want to consider solar screens for their window screens replacement. Solar screens can block up to 90% of the unwanted glare and heat from the sun, keeping your home shadier and cooler. They can also provide more privacy during the day; while homeowners will still be able to look outside with an unhindered view, solar screens will block outsiders from looking inside. Solar screens provide especially effective privacy at night, preventing outsiders from being able to clearly see inside when your lights are on inside.
