Common situations
Mesh needs suitable tension without distorting the frame. Corners and long sides should be checked during fitting, following the material requirements. Over-tightening is not a way to strengthen an old frame, and loose mesh may reflect a retaining-channel problem.
Remeshing relies on a usable frame with sound corners and retaining channels. A bent or cracked frame may need replacement instead. Tight new mesh should not be used to pull a distorted frame into shape or disguise damaged attachments.
The retaining spline must suit the frame groove and mesh. Reusing a brittle or incorrectly sized spline can leave an uneven result. Keep any accessible product information and show the groove where visible, without damaging the frame to obtain a sample.
Service overview

Signs: a handle, latch, hinge, track or screen is visibly worn or damaged or the window does not close, catch or sit evenly as it did before. Causes: loose compatible fixings or adjustment points or normal wear in accessible moving hardware.
Measure the existing screen and show how it sits in the opening. Overall dimensions alone may omit clips, recesses or clearance. A customer-supplied replacement should be checked against the fixing arrangement before purchase, especially where the old screen is missing.
