A trip to the neighboi hood hardware store for rc pair can remedy the prot: lem quickly. A tomn scree is also a relatively simpi do-it-yourseif job. The materjai whic] most accurately fuils thi order is aiuminum screet cloth. It is easy to wori, with and it can be eut to fi any size win'dow. Aluminum is naturaill non-corrosive, so the tin3 iatticed screening contin-* ues to endure seasons of' ramn and biowng snow. A spring cleaning with miid soap and water or the brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner is ail it takes to keep aiuminum screening iooking good year after year. The fine mesh aisoheips keep smali insects out of' the house and resists separating. Aluminum screen can be used in any type of frame - wood or alumi- num - and won't warp out of shape. There are differ- cnt procedures for repiac- ing screens in ihe two types of frames. The f'ollowing steps as weil as the corre- sponding diagrams show how to rescreen an alumi- num frame window. Aithough aiuminum framing is sturdy and dura- bNe, it is important to care- fully remove the frame so it wiil not bend or scratch. Additiona 'lly. it is a goo.d idea to buy a sheet of screen larger than the area to be covered, the excess maîcrial provides some- thing to hold on to when p is puiiing the sereen taut to fit -ise the framne.
