As a common door and window product in households, adjustable sliding window screens are easy to open and do not take up space. They have ideal ventilation and lighting effects and can be seen in the kitchen, balcony, and bathroom spaces. Though they are ordinary, adjustable sliding window screens are very practical. So the question arises: how should you choose adjustable sliding window screens? What details should you pay attention to?
When purchasing sliding doors and windows, remember this phrase: "adjustable sliding window screens have three seals: felt strips, wind blocks, and drainage hole covers." Sealing felt strips are commonly used on the frame material of sliding doors/windows or door panels. Their function is to block gaps, greatly reducing air intake, and providing a good dust-proof effect. When choosing adjustable sliding window screens, we need to pay attention to whether the product's felt strips fit well: if they are too short, there will be gaps, making them as good as useless; if too long, they will affect daily pushing and pulling. Additionally, we should check whether the felt strip fibers are even and dense, and whether the tuft is upright. High-quality felt strips should adhere firmly, have high elasticity, and should not have defects like missing fibers, deformation, or unevenness.
The windproof treatment of the overlapping parts of the window sash and the corresponding track grooves of the overlapping parts are important indicators to measure the quality of adjustable sliding window screens. The wind gaps and drafts produced in these areas, besides being managed by the aforementioned sealing felt strips, can also be addressed by using wind blocks to plug the "loopholes" in the adjustable sliding window screens: they are installed at the upper and lower track positions of the overlapping parts of the sliding door and window sashes, effectively reducing the wind intake in the tracks.
When choosing adjustable sliding window screens, you also need to check whether the drainage holes (system) are complete. The drainage hole design also falls under the sealing category of adjustable sliding window screens, as drainage holes are prone to "light wind." To solve drainage and whistling wind issues, check if the adjustable sliding window screen has added a drainage hole cover or a more advanced hidden drainage system.
Generally speaking, sliding window mesh screens can be roughly divided into two types: invisible sliding window mesh screens and diamond mesh sliding window screens. The invisible sliding window mesh screens, which can automatically rewind, mainly focus on mosquito prevention. Their advantage lies in (automatic rewinding) convenient storage of the screen, extended screen life, not taking up space, solving traditional screen lighting issues, and being able to coordinate with home decor.
