Custom Screens for Every Window Size

Window screen fabrication and installation in Greenwich, Connecticut for homes, businesses, and specialty projects.

Standard window screens often do not fit older homes in Greenwich where window frames vary slightly in size or shape, leaving gaps that let in bugs or cause the screen to pop out when you try to open the window. Even newer homes sometimes have unusual window dimensions that require custom-built screens instead of off-the-shelf options.

Gunderson Flooring and Design fabricates window screens to match any size or style, using precise measurements and durable materials that hold up through years of opening, closing, and seasonal weather changes. The service includes both residential and commercial projects, and custom work extends to specialty builds such as catios, which are screened enclosures that let cats safely enjoy outdoor air without escaping or encountering wildlife.

If you need custom window screens or a specialty screen structure in Greenwich, reach out to schedule a measurement and discuss material options.

How Custom Screens Are Built and Installed

The process starts with measuring each window opening to account for depth, width, and any irregularities in the frame, especially common in older Greenwich homes with settled foundations or replaced windows. Frames are then cut to size, corners are joined and reinforced, and mesh is stretched tight across the opening before being locked in place with spline material that fits the frame's channel.

Once installed, you will notice the screens sit flush in the window track without wobbling, the mesh does not sag or ripple when touched, and airflow improves noticeably when windows are open. Insects stay outside, and you can leave windows open overnight without worrying about waking up to mosquitoes or flies in the house.

Materials vary depending on the application, with fiberglass mesh being the most common choice for standard windows and aluminum mesh used in high-traffic areas or homes with pets. For catios and outdoor enclosures, heavier-duty framing and reinforced mesh are used to prevent tearing from claws or animal contact. Commercial projects often require larger frames and faster turnaround times, both of which are handled through the same custom fabrication process.

What to Know Before Ordering Custom Screens

Homeowners and business owners typically ask about sizing accuracy, mesh options, and whether custom screens cost significantly more than pre-made versions.

What is a catio and how is it screened?
A catio is a screened outdoor enclosure that allows cats to experience fresh air and sunlight without escaping or being exposed to predators. Gunderson Flooring and Design builds custom catios using reinforced framing and durable mesh designed to resist clawing and climbing.
How do you ensure custom screens fit correctly?
Each window is measured individually at multiple points to account for variations in the frame, and screens are built slightly smaller than the opening to allow for smooth insertion and removal. This prevents binding and ensures a snug fit.
Why should I choose custom screens over standard sizes?
Standard screens often leave gaps or require forcing into place, which damages the frame and mesh over time. Custom screens fit precisely, last longer, and perform better because they are built specifically for your Greenwich windows.
What type of mesh is best for homes with pets?
Aluminum mesh or pet-resistant fiberglass is recommended for homes where cats or dogs push against the screen. These materials resist tearing and hold their shape better than standard fiberglass mesh.
How long does it take to fabricate and install custom window screens?
Fabrication typically takes a few days depending on the number of screens and complexity of the frames. Installation is usually completed the same day once the screens are ready, with most homes in Greenwich finished in a few hours.
