KK window screens

Question

I recently purchased a home with KK windows, but for some reason they do not havve screens on them. It appears that the window is set up to receive manufactured screen but these windows do not have any. Is there a place in the USA that I can buy these screens?

If you have casement type windows, then the screens are normally are installed on the inside of the window frame. You should have a recessed lip on the inside trim around the window frame. The screen would rest in that recess.

What I would do would be to measure the location for the screen (width" x height") and also the thickness of the recess. The thickness could be 5/16", 3/8" or 7/16". You want the screen to sit flush in the recess in the wood trim, so keep that in mind.

Once you have your measurements, go to a hardware store or glass shop in your area who make and repair screens. Have them make you up a screen to those specifications, but don't have them install the screen mesh until you test fit the open frame in your window to make sure it fits.
