Hello,

I've found that fiberglass screen wire is easier to install than aluminum. If you wanted to stay with aluminum wire, I'd advise you not to use the bare silver wire but a coated option like charcoal wire. The charcoal wire will hold up very well. I have also used the 59-250 spline on Andersen window screens in the past with good results. Take a look and let us know if you need anything else.
