What is a Multi-Fit (M-Fit) Window Screen?
The Multi-Fit Window Screen is an innovative, proprietary double-hung window screen, designed to fit in most double-hung and single-hung window styles. Double-hung windows are distinguishable by their ability to open and close independently in the top and bottom sashes. This versatility and ventilation control is a large reason for the double-hung window enduring as the most popular window style in the country! We’ve implemented our proprietary Multi-Fit technology into this popular frame style for the most homeowner-friendly window screen replacement on the market. Simply provide measurements to the nearest whole inch for a gap-free fit that endures over time!

How do Multi-Fit Window Screens work?
The Multi-Fit (M-Fit) Window Screen replacement is a double-hung half screen, designed to occupy half of your window frame. This always leaves half of your view entirely unimpeded, with the ability to slide the screen up and down providing homeowners with an entirely adjustable window screen. This replacement screen is equipped with our proprietary fit technology – two side panels that retract when pressed by the homeowner and expand in the window frame’s screen channel. The M-Fit Window Screen also has two pull tabs installed along the side of the screen, so homeowners can easily pull the screen in for easy removal.

The insect screen provides industry-leading fresh air filtration and clear sightlines, so it’s never been easier to maintain peace of mind and bring the outdoors inside!

How do I know if my window is single-hung or double-hung?
A single-hung window only offers single-pane movement. For most single-hung windows, this means only the bottom of your window can open and close. On double-hung windows, two sliding sashes enable independent movement of the top and bottom panes of your window. This means your windows can open from the top, bottom, or both. Double-hung windows are the most popular style in the USA due to this versatility and can effectively function as single-hung windows as well.

What is the gauge of the screen mesh?
We have multiple screen mesh options available when customizing your screen – each mesh option has a slightly different gauge. Our standard charcoal fiberglass mesh is 16x18, providing all the ventilation and air filtration you need without obstructing sightlines.

Can the Multi-Fit Window Screens be removed for cleaning and storing in the winter?
