Order Insect Screen Retrofits for Installed Steel-Look Casement Windows

t442-49

You can order an insect screen retrofit for steel-look casement windows that are already installed, as long as the frame depth and opening style are measured on site first. The screen is made to measure, fitted to the existing profile, and checked so it opens and closes without rubbing the window.

Why a retrofit screen suits installed casement windows

Most homeowners who fit steel-look casement windows later decide they want protection from insects in summer. Replacing the window is rarely necessary. A retrofit screen is designed to attach to the window you already have, so the frame, glass and finish stay as they are.

Because the windows are casements that swing open, the screen has to follow the same movement. That is why the screen is built around the exact size and profile of the opening rather than bought as a generic standard size.

What we measure before ordering

Before any screen is produced, our team visits the site and measures the opening. We record the width and height at several points, the depth of the frame and the side on which the window opens. We also look at how the existing window closes so the screen does not interfere with its hardware.

Clear width and height of the opening
Frame depth and profile shape
Hinge side and direction of opening
Any handles, stays or nearby fittings

Drawing and written specification

After the measurement we prepare a drawing and a written specification showing the screen size, frame profile, mesh type and how it attaches. You review it before anything goes to the factory. This step catches small details such as a handle that needs clearance or a window that opens further than expected.

If you have photos of the window, send them with your inquiry. They help us confirm the frame style and the fixing points before the visit.

Production and finishing in our factory

The screen frame is made at our factory at 37 Rival Street in Tel Aviv, where we work with iron, aluminum and steel profiles. Once the frame is cut and assembled, it receives a finish suited to outdoor use, such as powder coating in a colour that matches your steel-look windows.

Mesh is fitted into the frame and the screen is checked for square and straight alignment before it leaves the workshop.

Installation and fit checks

On installation day the screen is fixed to the existing window frame using suitable fixings for your wall and profile. We then test the opening movement several times to confirm the window still closes fully and the screen lies flat without gaps that let insects through.

If the window is tight or the frame has moved slightly over the years, we adjust the fixing points on the spot rather than forcing the screen into place.

Ordering steps from inquiry to installation

The simplest route is to contact us with photos and a short description of the windows. We then arrange the measurement visit, send the drawing for approval, produce the screen, and install it. Each stage is confirmed with you so you know what is happening.

Frequently asked questions

Can a screen be added to a steel-look window that is already installed?

Yes. The screen is made to fit the existing opening and is attached to the current frame, so the window does not need to be replaced.

Do I need to remove the window to fit the screen?

Normally no. The screen is fixed to the outside of the existing frame and the window can stay in place during the work.

Will the screen stop the window from opening fully?

It should not. We check the swing and hardware during measurement and test the movement after installation so the casement opens and closes properly.

Can the screen colour match my windows?

Yes. The frame can be powder coated in a colour chosen to suit your steel-look windows, and we confirm the colour before production.

Common mistakes to avoid

Ordering a standard size without measuring the actual opening is the most common error, since casement frames vary and the screen will not sit correctly. Forgetting to check handles and hinge side can also cause the screen to clash with the window when it opens.

Our recommendation

Send photos and let us measure on site before you choose a size, and ask to see the drawing so you can check clearances for handles and opening direction.

Summary

Insect screens can be retrofitted to installed steel-look casement windows when they are measured and made to the actual opening.
