Can I install SCREENEZE® myself?
You need carpentry skills to install SCREENEZE®. Review Installation to determine if you are comfortable with the steps. If not enter your zip code to find a local installer or take a sample to a builder or remodeler of your choice.
Does temperature affect SCREENEZE® installation?
As with all materials, SCREENEZE® expands and contracts. Our aluminum base channel creates a solid base so as expansion and contraction occur it doesn't cause the screen to loosen and sag. When installing your system plan for the temperature change your porch endures. Full sun, part sun or no sun; adjust your cuts for the day you are installing SCREENEZE®. Hot day, full sun, make snug fits. Also, when installing in temperatures below 55 degrees make sure that the vinyl caps are heated with a heat gun, a hair dryer or stored inside. Cool temperatures can make the vinyl brittle causing it to snap during installation. The snaps will occur at the ends so be sure to gently tap the caps at the corner and take the previous stated precautions.
I have an arched opening - can I use SCREENEZE®?
SCREENEZE® flat bar is recommended when installing arched openings. It is the same concept as traditional SCREENEZE®, however, it is bendable and does not have a 90 degree angle. It is installed the same as traditional SCREENEZE®, however, it is best to install the bottom piece first instead of the top. SCREENEZE® flat bar is available in all three colors, but only in 8' lengths.
Do you sell screen fabric?
Yes. We carry Fiberglass Screen, SuperScreen™, BetterVue™ and Insect Screen all in 100' rolls. We also stock wide widths to accommodate the large panels you can do with SCREENEZE®.
How much excess screen fabric do I need to install SCREENEZE®?
4" - You may not need this much excess, however, this is a safe amount for your first installation and for estimating material.
Can I use metal or aluminum screen fabric?
Yes, but we do not recommend it. It is difficult to install because it doesn't have the elasticity that fabrics have and it can also grate the fins on the inside of the caps making them useless.
Are there any screen fabrics you do not recommend?
We do not recommend certain solar screen fabrics because of the thickness and we do not recommend metal screens. If you are unsure just give us a call.
Do you do estimating?
No. Part of being able to install SCREENEZE® is being able to estimate what you need. Since all sales are final we believe that it is in our customer's best interest that they do the estimating. We are always happy to help you with your estimate, but the final decision on how much to purchase is yours to determine.
What is the lead time?
Generally 7 to 10 business days for job lots.
How much is shipping?
It depends on your location. In the United States, to ship 8' SCREENEZE® tends to run between $45 and $90 based on the quantity; to ship 12' SCREENEZE® you are looking at $125 to $225. 12' SCREENEZE® is shipped FedEx Freight because of its length. Shipping to Canada and the Caribbean are more expensive and quoted on an individual basis. For more information fill out our material and shipping quote form.
What can I use to cut SCREENEZE®?
A 10" miter saw with a 200 tooth plywood blade. We also recommend the Freud Diablo series of non-ferrous/plastic blades; specifically the 10" 80 tooth blade or the 12" 96 tooth blade. You can also use a hack saw with a fine tooth metal cutting blade.
Can I attach SCREENEZE® to brick and/or concrete?
SCREENEZE® can be attached to any smooth uniform surface. When attaching SCREENEZE® to masonry a flush mount is typically the best application. The screw leg needs to ride smoothly against the masonry. We would recommend once your alignments and cuts are made you should use a double sided sticky tape or a small bead of silicon prior to attaching your SCREENEZE® system.
Does SCREENEZE® have a warranty?
SCREENEZE® has a 10 year limited warranty that can be downloaded on the forms page.
What is the return policy for SCREENEZE®?
All sales are final. This is why we want you to have a sample in hand prior to ordering.
