Screening Splines For Better Insulation

Engineers and contractors have to take care of many things while working on a project. However, insulation is an inextricable aspect of significant importance in the long run. Engineers and architects can help lower a building’s energy bills by implementing simple solutions. There are different solutions to bolster a building’s insulation. Using screening splines is however among the easiest and most effective techniques. Alcot Plastics Ltd. in Guelph, Ontario, manufactures polyethylene foam splines that get the job done. In this blog, we explain how you can use screening splines for better insulation. So, please read until the end.

Polyethylene Foam Is Perfect For Manufacturing Screening Splines

Seals Gaps

Polyethylene foam is an increasingly soft and flexible material. These features make it perfect for manufacturing splines that fit in tight spaces. The primary task of a screening spline is to hold window screens firmly to its frame. PE foam spline’s shape retention ability means it occupies the entire space within the groove without leaving any gap. Gaps around windows and doors significantly affect insulation. A room or a building must have air-tight doors and windows to facilitate the HVAC system’s optimal performance.

All Weather Compatibility

Polyethylene foam is a very durable and strong material. Its resistance to the elements is impressive, making it perfect for manufacturing screening splines. You can use foam splines to seal window and door screens in areas with extreme weather. They don’t shrink or expand with changing temperatures, ensuring top-notch insulation throughout the year. You need not worry about replacing screening lines for many years. You must source screening splines made of top-quality polyethylene foam for maximum benefits.
