Step 1: Measure the Window

Using a tape measure, measure the dimensions of your window frame. Make sure to measure both the width and height accurately.

Step 2: Cut the Screen

Using scissors, cut the window screen material to the size of your window frame, leaving a few inches of excess on each side.

Step 3: Remove the Window Frame

Using a screwdriver, remove the screws or clips holding the window frame in place. Carefully remove the frame from the window.

Step 4: Install the Screen

Place the cut screen material over the window opening, ensuring it covers the entire area. Use the spline roller to press the screen into the groove of the window frame.

Step 5: Trim the Excess Screen

Using a utility knife, trim the excess screen material from the edges of the window frame, following its shape.

Step 6: Reinstall the Window Frame

Carefully place the window frame back into the window opening. Secure it by reattaching the screws or clips.

Step 7: Test the Window Screen

Gently push on the screen to ensure it is securely in place. Make any necessary adjustments if needed.

Step 8: Clean Up

Remove any excess screen material and clean the window frame using a damp cloth or window cleaner.
