Andersen Window Screen

Hi,
I have Andersen 200 series narroline windows with 1991 manufacture dates. A couple of my screens have holes. I'm thinking it would be more cost effective to replace the screen only myself rather than purchasing a whole new one.

My questions are, what diameter size would the spline be? Also what type of screen material would be best to match what is already there?

I thank you in advance for your help.

Some Andersen screens have used our 59-250 and 59-270 in the past, but you'd have to compare both with your existing spline to see what matches best. We actually have a video detailing how to re-screen an Andersen window screen. See below.

We are replacing the screen on several Anderson Windows. What size foam spline do we need? We tried .25 and it was too small, the screen pulled right out. What do you recommend?

As mentioned above, Andersen has been known to use .250 and .270 size splines; if you found that the .250 was too small, then moving up to the .270 is the next thing you should consider.

Keep in mind that this is mostly an educated guess. The only way to know for sure is to measure the old spline, or at least to do your best to get as accurate a measurement as you can.
