Annoying window screen tears!
Elevated Exterior Services • August 11, 2025
What Causes Window Screen Tears?
- Harsh weather: Florida’s storms bring wind and flying debris, which can puncture or tear screens. Extended UV exposure also makes mesh brittle over time, increasing the risk of tears.
- Daily use and pets: Screens stressed by frequent opening, closing, or pawing from pets are more likely to rip or sag, especially along the edges.
- Age and pests: Older screens naturally weaken, while larger insects and small animals may chew or tug at mesh, causing holes.
- Improper fit or damaged frames: Crooked or worn-out frames create uneven stress, leading to tears and gaps.
Why Timely Screen Repair Matters in Tampa Bay:
- Keeps bugs out: Torn screens invite mosquitoes, flies, and other Florida pests indoors.
- Improves air flow and curb appeal: Fresh air and sunlight come in, while keeping the look of your windows crisp.
Simple Solutions for Window Screen Tears
- Small tears: Patch quickly with adhesive screen patches and glue—no need for full replacement if damage is minor.
