Many homeowners install window screens to make the interior of the houses a lot cooler and to save themselves from paying a huge sum of money in the form of electricity bills. In addition, window screens are a good way to keep the insects and bugs away from your house. All in all, a window screen is a good addition to your home, which provides you with so many benefits.

However, during winters, you don't really need window screens. The bugs and insects from which you want to save yourself often go into hibernation during cold weather. On the other hand, the winter sun is also not harsh and doesn't disturb you to a great extent. Another reason for removing window screens could be that you are interested in installing storm window panes.
​
Once you have uninstalled the screens, you will observe a significant change in your heating bills. This is because once the screens are removed, your house will receive 10% more sunlight, which will keep your house warmer. Whatever your reason for the removal of window screens, you must focus on keeping the screens at a safe place. In this article, we'll have a look at some of the steps that you must follow for the proper storage of your window screens.

1. Clean the Screens


Since window screens are exposed to the exterior of your house for too long, there is a possibility that your screen will be home to dirt, grime, and other impurities. Before storing them at a safe place, it is important that you wash them. The best way to clean the screens is to lay them down on a flat surface and brush them gently with the help of the brush. Use soapy water to clean the screens. Do not use the high-pressure hose on the screen as the water may damage them. Leave the screens as it is and allow them to dry.

2. Store in Dry Area


If you store your screens in a cluttered space, you will end up damaging them. So, don't think about storing them in the garage. The best way is to store them in a clean and dry space such as attics, basements - make sure that the screen is not stored in an area where there is a high amount of moisture as it can damage the screen, or storage sheds.

3.Keep the Screens Flat


When you are storing the screens, make sure that there is enough space where you can lay them down properly. If you are storing two screens together, make sure to place a sheet of newspaper in the middle

4. Repair Broken Screen


If you have spotted any broken screens, make sure to get them repaired before you store them. This way, during summer, you will have perfectly fine window screens to attach to your windows.

Summary


Window screens are a convenient way to block the sun rays during summer. In winter, however, the screens don't have many purposes. Then, it is better to keep them stored in a safe place.
