Subject:Re: Screens for sliding windows?
Date:Sun, 13 Apr 2008 19:25:17 -0500

Ellen,

You didn't mention if you have a Westy or not.  The poptop Westys had
plastic screens that snap to the inside window frame.  You can't
install these screens if you didn't have them originally.  The Westy
windows have a latch located toward the middle of the glass past where
the screen goes.  Non Westys had latches up near the front of the
glass.

We manufacture Westy screen replacements out of aluminum since the
original plastic frames are no longer available.  They are much more
durable than the originals.

You need to call us to order as they are not listed on our website.
They are black powder coated and they have black screen. $69.95 each.

For non Westys we have temporary screens that fit in the window
opening.  You must remove them to close the window.
