Removal Steps
Aluminum alloy window screen frames are equipped with rubber splines (insert strips). First, carefully extract the rubber splines using a specialized tool (e.g., spline roller or flathead screwdriver). Once the splines are removed, the old window screen can be easily pulled out from the frame groove.
Installation Steps

For aluminum alloy frames: Use one side of a spline roller (remove or detach the rubber wheel on the other side if necessary) to press the edge of the new window screen firmly into the frame groove.
After securing the screen, reinsert the rubber splines into the groove to fix the screen in place.
Trim excess screen material along the frame edge using a utility knife for a neat finish.
For stainless steel window screens: Apply a thin layer of glass glue along the frame edge before installation to prevent sharp wire ends from scratching surfaces or causing injury.

Key Installation TipsWhen installing the new screen, first fix one side securely. Then gently tension the opposite side (avoid over-tightening) before sequentially securing the remaining two ends. Excessive tension can lead to frame deformation, compromising both appearance and functionality. Ensure the screen is aligned evenly to maintain structural integrity.
