Saint-Gobain ADFORS DIY Window Screen Frame Kit - 5/16 inches x 4 feet - White

I've now purchased quite a few of these sets. I'm using them to hold 4 mil and 6 mil clear vinyl on our screened in porch for the winter. These things are working great. The first room I used them on, I used liquid nails to attach them to the wood. It worked great, but by time I got around to the 2nd room, it was pretty chilly out and the liquid nails wouldn't set, so I drilled holes along the sides of these and screwed them into place.. That worked really well. This holds the plastic in place very firmly so we'll have two screened in porches to enjoy this winter. I used frost king clear vinyl and flexible glass vinyl, and using that with the screen frame kits, it created glass like enclosures. My biggest problem with them is that the spline comes inserted in the channels, so you have to pull it out before using it. The spline actually is pretty hard to get out. I used a flat tip screw driver to get the end out of the channel enough that I could pull the rest of it out.. It'd be easier if the spline just came rolled up. I'm hoping that I can just pull the spline out of the channels in the spring, roll up the vinyl and reuse the whole system year after year. I'm also going to try this on a couple of windows in our house that are a bit drafty. I think it'll work well and will be so much better than two sided tape, which leaves an ugly residue year after year.

This frame kit made it easy to replace a damaged screen. It is really easy to put together and I feel that it could be done by anyone as long as they take their time to look at the instructions or a youtube video on how to put it together. The final product was very nice but a bit flimsy (Which is what all screens are so not really a con there).

I didn't read every single review of the product before buying. I figured fo $10, I wouldn't be out much if it was a complete fail. It wasn't a complete fail, but not a complete success either. I'll have to purchase some more screen fabric and give it another go. First off is the spline is really difficult to get out. I ended up using a jeweler's screwdriver I already had. By inserting it into the hollow of the spline, I was able to get the end up enough to grab with a pair of pliers and pull. At this point, I wondered how difficult it would be to insert it with screen fabric behind it. Let alone screen fabric plus plastic pull tabs. But I digress. It cut easily using a hacksaw and miter box and I felt really proud of myself for getting the measurements right. My window is roughly 44"x18", and you have to subtract 1 1/2 inches for cutting. This did not replace an existing frame, so I had to take measurements from the window casing itself. The corners went in nicely, although a little difficult where the tension springs were inserted. Once the frame was together, I did a dry run and it fit my window perfectly! So now the screen insertion process began. I taped the frame down on my tile patio and laid the screen on top of it. I've done this process before on sliding glass door screens many times. It's what you learn to do when you have cats. ;-) It wasn't an easy process, as the spline is rather narrow and a tight fit to begin with. With a little patience, I got it in and the screen was nice and taut. Boy, I was happy - it looked great! I cut the excess with my utility knife and went to put the newly-framed screen in my window. This is when my glee ended. Apparently, I held the screen a bit too taut and the long sides bowed inward. It's noticeable when in the window and certainly is enough to allow bugs in. So, I have a trip to the hardware store tomorrow to get more screen. I'm going to cut a piece of wood the same length as the interior measurement of the short ends of the frame. Then I'll tape it between the long ends to maintain the measurements and avoid bowing when re-doing the screen. Live and learn. I hope my experience and review helps others.

This was easy to cut and assemble. Directions were clear. It took about 20 minutes to cut, assemble and install screen. The netal is equal in strength to a manufactured screen. It can be bent easilly so I was careful when cutting it with the hacksaw. The pieces come with all parts needed except screening. I also bought a spine roller from Amazon to install the screening that made that easy to do. I have added pictures of the small screen. I also assembled a larger one not sbown.

For the price, I understand the thin metal. However it makes the frame twist, flimsy, easy to dent, and harder to screen. It took me a lot of time and patience to stretch my screen. I'd rather spend a little extra money than deal with this brand again. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell frame quality online. Also, options are limited, especially at this price. From a distance, the frame and screen look ok and this kit did what it's supposed to do.

I have casement windows that never had any screens, and wanted to be able to open the windows without letting the bugs in or the cats out. After deducting 1.5" for corner connectors, I needed 47" sticks for the sides. The package says it contains four 48" pieces. It does not. It contains four 46.5" pieces--which WILL make up to a 48" square screen. Based on what the package said, I thought I could get the 47" I needed, but I couldn't. Fortunately I was able to use these for a different set of slightly smaller windows. They are sturdy, super easy to cut (I used my chop saw--cuts like butter) and assemble. The finished product looks like they came with the windows from the factory. I am very pleased. :-) If you're looking for a way to put screens on the inside of your casement windows--these worked well for me. My windows have a lot of ledges around them--see photo--and I just fit these into one of those ledges. I used the two included springs on the outside edge, and they're holding up to my very curious cats--so far. :-)

I purchased this item to replace a 34" x 35" screen that I had, but was sorely disappointed. The frame stocks had thinner walls than the original and inadequate for anything probably larger than 15" or 20". The spleen that comes with it are precut to the same length as the 4 frame stocks instead of a single long spleen, so you'll have to take each one out of the frame before installing the mesh and they were difficult to remove. After installing the mesh, the frame would not hold up the tension and bow inwards; even though I made sure not to apply too much tension. Completely waste of time cutting the frame stocks to size, taking out the spleen, installing the mesh, then only to find out that this is a piece of garbage. I didn't try to return the item because I already cut it to size and probably wouldn't qualify for a return. Don't waste your time and make the same mistake I did, and go purchase another frame kit that is sturdier.

Excellent product. Material quality good and sturdy. Easy to assemble and hassle-free installation. However extremely concern on the over-size packaging which item was sent (too large just for one single item or kit). The final volumetric weight came to be 5 times the actual weight of item which was only 1.1kg. Also the subsequent order of 4 more kits were sent separately (into another 4 over-size packaging) which resulted in to total volumetric weight 20kg when the items were further shipped to Singapore from Portland Oregon US address. The grand finale was the replacement kit (One unit) which came with an even larger size packaging measuring 53.35 x 15.94 x 6.50 (inch) with a total volumetric weight of 18.5kg (or 18.11kg even after repack) despite the item weighs a mere 1.1 kg when it was sent from Portland Oregon to Singapore. Very disappointed how the items were packed in such over-size packaging. I'm aware it was FREE Shipping within the US but due consideration should be given to customers like me who needs to re-direct to final destination Singapore and incurred HUGE shipping charges because of such packaging.
