Windows Screen Spline Size
Q: If I am replacing my insect screens with new screening products, what spline size should I use?
A: If you do not have a sample of your old spline to match the size, then the product that is being installed and the screen frame’s spline groove determine spline size. Measure across the spline channel or groove of the screen frame and use one size smaller spline for fabrication. When selecting spline for your DIY screening projects, use the same diameter spline as the frame’s spline groove width for all products except when working with Aluminum or Bronze screen, PetScreen, Suntex, Super Solar, or Tuffscreen. Use one diameter size smaller spline for these listed material
