Sideways Sliding windows

These are usually held in with a pair springs on one side and finger pull tabs on the other.

Up and down windows

They are also known as single or double hung windows. The newer style replacement windows made by Marvin for instance, can also have spring loaded screens as above if you only wish to open the bottom sash for ventilation. If you want to open the top sash (this is the best ventilation option for upper floor windows and for safety when children are in the rooms) then a full outside mounted screen is needed. We call this a jiffy screen because it installs in a jiffy.

In-swing or out-swing windows

Also known as casement windows can have several types of screens. We can install a full length jiffy screen as mentioned above, a screen held in by spring loaded plungers (pins) or a roll away screen that pulls down from the top. Out swing casement windows either need a screen that moves out of the way like a roll away or a screen with a wicket.

Screen Installation Options

Contrary to popular belief you can put aluminum window screens onto wood windows. They are less noticeable than the old wood window screens and run about 1/6th the cost. They are constructed of a heavy gage aluminum frame with metal corners and come with a “Two Year Warranty”. We will not use plastic parts because we want your screens to last as long as possible.

We have several frame colors to choose from depending on the thickness needed: white, bronze, mill, almond, tan, and black. Plus we can custom color screen frames. There are several mesh types to pick from besides the regular fiberglass insect mesh.

This SE Portland home has a full screen covering the whole window which allows you to open the top or bottom sash for ventilation.
Here is the same full screen covering the whole window taken from straight on.
Here is a close up of the top bracket used to hold the screen onto the top of the window.
This is a close up of the bottom clip that secures the screen to the window so that it will not fall off when the screen is hit by high winds or when the house expands and contracts during the seasonal changes. Plungered screens often fall off under those conditions.
As you get further away from the home these screens are barely noticeable.
This a half screen option for Marvin Tilt Packs. It has bottom ventilation only but the top view is un-obscured.
This is the side view of the half screen showing the pull tabs on the right.
This is the left view of the same screen it almost disappears into the window track. A white frame would have been hard to see from outside.
This is an inside view of a plungered screen with a hinged wicket door on a casement window that swings out. This has an aluminum wicket which will last longer than the plastic wicket.
This old historic home has new aluminum framed window screens that are hardly noticeable against the window trim.
