Place the screen in the window and adjust. Specifically, we suggest opening the window, placing the screen in the window, extending it to the size needed, and then adjusting the window opening for a snug fit.

How Do You Install Window Screens in an Apartment Window?

Use adjustable screens! If you are a renter, an adjustable window screen is an alternative to buying and installing a window screen that you may leave behind when you move or won’t fit in the windows of your new place. This type of screen is placed in your window when you wish to open it and does not require creating holes or any other installation.

How Do Expandable Window Screens Work?

They extend to fit the window opening, and the window frame holds them in place. Our adjustable window screens extend without jamming to fill the entire width of single or double hung windows or the height of sliding windows. Once the screen is expanded and in the window, adjust the window to gently sit on top of or against the screen.
