Understanding Screening Spline And Its Importance

A lot of factors go into perfecting construction and home improvement projects. With so many factors to consider, it is common for certain elements to fly under the radar. While ensuring a tight fit of window screens seems unimportant, it can have detrimental effects in the long run. Loose window frames create unnecessary problems that can be easily avoided by investing in top-quality screening spline. Alcot Plastics Ltd. is a trusted manufacturer of foam splines. Read this blog until the end to understand the importance of foam screening splines.

3 Reasons That Make Screening Spline Crucial

Longevity

By investing in top-quality screening splines, you can ensure the longevity of windows. The splines also make windows much more efficient by preventing them from sagging over time. The tight fit prevents unnecessary gaps and keeps mosquitos and flies outside your home. Alcot Plastics Ltd. manufactures the best polyethylene foam splines that guarantee longevity.

Bolsters Structural Integrity

Screening splines are pivotal for holding mesh or screens against the frame. Maintaining the window’s structural integrity is in the homeowner’s best interest. Poor structural integrity calls for regular maintenance and repairs, which leads to unnecessary expenses. Investing in secure foam splines is a sure way to bolster your window’s structural integrity. A strong and secure window also provides additional safety to your home.

Aesthetics

Visual appeal is as important as functionality in modern design and architecture. Screening splines give windows a clean and cohesive look. Splines are soft and flexible. They can be squeezed into tight grooves without losing their structural integrity.  An appealing appearance boosts curb appeal and adds value to your property.
