Mr. Blindcleaner & Screen Repairs

When it comes to repairing a hole in a screen, the type of repair needed is going to depend on how extensive that hole is. Smaller holes can either be repaired or patched, whereas more extensive damage may require an entire screen replacement.

Since the screen is on the outside of your windows, it’s the first to deal with all of the rain, sun, storms, and anything else that hits your house. But you don’t have to worry if they get damaged. A screen expert will be able to easily restore your screens.

The use of screens in windows actually pre-dates the use of glass windows. Glass windows first started showing up in Ancient Rome, but screens of wood, ceramic, or stone have been around since ancient times to allow light in windows while keep animals or intruders out.

The first U.S. patent for window screens came in the form of a patent filed in 1868 by two men named Bayley and McClusky. Together they had invented screened rooftop rail-car windows, which simultaneously allowed air to circulate while keeping out dust, sparks, and cinders.

If you have windows that are not of a conventional size or configuration, that does not mean they must go without screens. Screen fabrication simply involves our taking a few key measurements, deciding on the framing materials and mesh, and then making them.
