SCREEN MATERIALS

Virtually maintenance free, the Tough Tek Metals® child safety screen construction is safer, harder working and better looking than the ordinary, every day, standard window screen.

 

  • 6063-T Extruded Aluminum Frame profile shall not exceed 1/4" at track insertion point.
  • Wire Cloth shall be standard tensile strength stainless steel alloy #304. #316 also available with superior corrosive resistance.
  • .018”, .023” or .028” diameter wire mesh.

SCREEN CONSTRUCTION

Manufactured from steel and aluminum, the screen is unobtrusive and aesthetically appealing, optimizing the flow of air and light, minimizing the intrusion of bugs and airborne debris, and protection from hail and flying debris.

  • The frame shall be cut with a mitered corner construction. The screen material will be compressed into the jaw of the frame material and the frame miters will be welded.
  • The screen material is held in place in the pressed area of the screen frame by the design of the aluminum extrusion.
  • Various components, such as Stainless Steel Tension Springs and Handles, can be applied to the screen frame.
