How to install window screens yourself
Window screens are a very common household item, and almost every family has window screens. Window screening is a kind of net with very fine meshes, which is fixed on the window to prevent insects from entering when the window is opened for ventilation. Our common window screens have two materials, one is high-density polyethylene material, and the other is glass fiber material with coating. The two materials are very similar and there are many differences. Let us understand them.
Polyethylene screen is a kind of plastic screen, which has all the advantages of plastic. Corrosion resistant, soft and lightweight. Moreover, the polyethylene screen has a very good light transmission effect. The service life is generally about 5 years. Because plastic materials will be damaged by ultraviolet rays, even with the addition of ultraviolet protection ingredients, they cannot have a very long life. Plastic window screens need to be replaced every 5 years or so.
The glass fiber screen is made of glass. Glass fiber window screening is made of glass fiber and a very strong coating. Glass fiber window screens are mainly composed of silica, which has the same long life as glass. The glass material itself has a natural protective effect against ultraviolet rays, so it has a long life span, which is about 10 to 20 years. This is very long compared to polyethylene screens. Of course, this also makes the glass fiber window screen more cost-effective.
