Several flyscreens around a Broadbeach Waters home were torn and damaged, and insects were getting inside.
I took the damaged screens out and replaced the mesh, and a few frames needed minor repairs and adjustment before going back in. While I was there, I serviced the windows next to them, cleaning the tracks and checking they worked properly.
With new mesh the home gets its airflow back without the insects, and every screen sits neatly in its frame and works with the window. The owner said the house looked noticeably fresher afterwards.
How I re-mesh a flyscreen
- Take the screen out and check the frame is square and undamaged.
- Pull out the old spline and mesh.
- Roll in new mesh and spline, keeping it tight and wrinkle-free.
- Trim neatly and refit the screen to the window.
- Clean and check the window track while I am there.
