A torn screen lets in every insect in Johnson County and does nothing to slow the afternoon sun. We build and repair window and door screens at Rowlett Hardware, and you can drop yours off at any of our four stores in Cleburne, Grandview, Rio Vista, or Godley.
Bring the frame with you. We rebuild the screen in the frame you already own when it is straight and sound, which costs less than starting over. If the frame is bent or the corners have failed, we can build a new one to your measurements.
Choosing Your Screen Material
The mesh you pick changes how the screen performs. We carry three types, and the right one depends on which window it is going in.
- Solar Screen
A tighter weave that blocks a large share of the sunlight before it reaches the glass. West and south facing windows take the worst of the North Texas summer, and solar screen cuts the heat those rooms pick up all afternoon. - Fiberglass Screen
The standard choice for most windows. It flexes instead of creasing, it will not dent when something bumps it, and it is easy to see through. - Aluminum Screen
Stiffer and longer lasting than fiberglass. It holds its shape well in large openings and stands up better to weather and wear over time.
When to Repair and When to Rebuild
Not every damaged screen needs a new frame. Look at the frame before you decide.
- Rescreening Works
The mesh is torn, sagging, or full of small holes, but the frame is still square and the corners are tight. - Time for a New Frame
The frame is bent, the corners have pulled apart, or the spline groove is split so nothing will hold the mesh in place. - Bring Your Measurements
For a screen with no frame to copy, measure the opening height and width and bring those numbers with you.
Wind driven dust and hard summer sun wear screens out faster here than in milder climates. If several windows have gone brittle at once, bringing them in together saves you a second trip.
