How to remove a window screen step by step has never been easier.
∙ min read
To learn how to remove a window screen, you need to identify the style and type of window you have.
For example, some houses have double-hung windows, the most common type. There are sliding windows too, and casement windows. You need to know if your window is inside or outside, so you can manipulate it accordingly.
Once you have identified which window you have, you are ready to start removing your window screen.
For sliding windows:
-
Open the window as much as possible
-
Move the screen to the top part of the window
-
Hold the tabs on the window screen at their lowest part
-
Push it outward from the window
-
Rotate the screen
-
Try to get the screen out of the window
For casement windows:
-
Locate the window screen’s tabs
-
Pull the tabs at the same time
-
The window screen will pop out
-
Remove the screen
For double hung windows:
-
Raise the lower part of the window frame
-
Push to the top part of the screen up
-
At the same time, pull on the tabs or pins at the bottom of the screen
-
Push outward; the screen should pop out of the sash
-
Twist and remove the screen
After you install a new window screen, always make sure to adjust the screen as needed so that it fits snugly and completely covers the window. And last but not least, check that the screen opens and closes correctly and that any obstacles do not obstruct it.
Now that you know how to remove and change a window screen, you’re ready to get a new one and change yours! You can find everything you need to do so here at Max Warehouse, including different types and sizes of screen windows.
