Frame problems that mean replacement
Aluminum takes a set. Once a frame has been bent, straightened, and bent again, it stops holding the mesh in tension and stops meeting the window squarely, and no re-mesh will bring that back.
- A frame bowed or kinked along one side
- Corners that have pulled apart more than once, or corner keys that no longer hold
- Corrosion or pitting, common on screens facing salt air
- A frame out of square, so the screen sits proud on one side
- Frames damaged by a storm, a pressure washer, or a fall from an upper floor
