5 Signs That You Need to Get Window Screen Replacement

Window screens are essential if you’re looking to prevent dust, debris, insects, leaves, and animals from entering your home. They allow you to enjoy the cool breeze in summers and warm sunlight during the winters without worrying that dust or insects from outdoors will enter your home.
Window screens have a lifespan, after which their efficiency is drastically reduced. Replacing these worn-out window screens is one of those home maintenance tasks that homeowners often neglect unless the screen gives up completely. We’ve listed down some signs that will indicate when it is the right time to opt for a window screen replacement.

1. Difficulty Opening and Closing the Screen

One of the most obvious signs that your window screen needs to be replaced is when you find it difficult to open and close the windows. This may be due to a damaged or warped window screen. If the opening and closing of windows don’t stay as smooth as they should be, you should immediately call a professional and opt for window screen replacement.

2. Visible Damage

Visible damage is an immediate sign that it is high time you trade your old window screens for something new. Damaged window screens not only have a negative impact on the appearance and aesthetics of your property, but they also put your house at risk of burglary. As soon as you see visible damage on your window screens, immediately get new window screens installed.

3. Shinier Screens

Window screens have a very short lifespan because they are exposed to harsh weather elements like dust, wind, and sunlight all the time. These elements affect the appearance of your window screens. A sign that indicates when it’s time to get window screen placement is when your screens start to look shinier than before. If you observe that your window screens have gotten shinier, consult a professional and get the window screens replaced as soon as possible.

4. Increased Noises From Outside

One of the features of a quality window screen is that it keeps the noises from the outside from being heard inside the house.  However, if you’ve recently started hearing a lot of noise from outside while you’re sitting in your living room, you should consider getting window screen replacement.

5. Increased Energy Bills

An efficient window screen keeps the heat of the sun from entering your house. With a reduced heat gain through the windows, the stress on the cooling system is reduced a great deal, which is evident in much lower energy bills. If your energy bills have suddenly seen a hike, a window screen replacement is definitely due. An increase in the energy bill is one of the most important signs that your window screens are not as efficient anymore, and they need to be replaced sooner rather than later.

Summary

​The signs that show that replacement of window screens is due include difficulty opening and closing the windows, visible signs of damage, noises from outside becoming more audible, and a spike in your energy bills.
