How to Add a Screen to a Pella Window

Not only does a damaged window screen look bad, it lets insects into your home. Installing screens on your Pella windows requires little effort, but you must use Pella screens specifically manufactured to fit the type of windows you have. Pella offers a variety of screens, including standard, Vivid View and InView screens. While standard screens can make what you see appear darker than it actually is, Vivid View and InView screens are made with a finer screen material, which provides a clearer, brighter view of the outdoors. Order Pella window screens directly from your Pella window distributor.
