How to use
- Measure the length of your screen frame, then cut the spline slightly longer than needed for a snug fit.
- Place the spline into the screen frame groove, starting at a corner and working your way around the perimeter.
- Use a screen roller or a similar tool to press the spline into the groove firmly, ensuring it sits flush and evenly around the entire edge.
- Trim any excess spline and inspect for gaps. Re-roll any sections where the spline isn’t seated properly.
- Reinstall the screen material and test for a tight seal along the frame to keep insects out and screens secure.
Practical tips for best results
- Store the roll in a cool, dry place to preserve the vinyl’s flexibility and avoid cracking.
- If you’re replacing an old spline, clean the groove first to remove debris that could prevent a smooth seating.
- Match the spline diameter to the groove depth and the existing screen frame for a secure, durable hold.
