Wichita Window Replacement provides professional window screens and insect frames in Wichita, KS for residential and commercial properties across south central Kansas. Screens are the smallest line on a window quote and the thing people ask about most, usually because the ones they already own do not match anything sold in a store. Custom fabrication is a routine job for us rather than a special order.
The reason sits in the hardware. A screen has to live on whichever side the sash does not swing through, so a crank-out casement takes its screen on the interior and a double-hung or slider takes it on the exterior. That is not a matter of style or preference. It is geometry, and it settles every other decision that follows.
This is exactly why so much of pre-war Wichita has no usable screens left at all. A steel casement projects its vent outward, so the screen belongs on the inside, held by clips or turn buttons in a frame made for that one opening. Nothing on a retail shelf mounts that way, and the originals went to the landfill decades ago.
Making them is straightforward once the frame type has been identified. We measure every opening individually, because openings in a masonry wall vary from one to the next within the same house, and we build to the dimension we actually found rather than to a nominal size on a chart. A quarter of an inch of slop shows on a screen the way it never shows on a window.
Mesh is a genuine decision worth thirty seconds of your time. Standard fibreglass is the cheapest and the most forgiving to stretch, aluminium holds tension better and resists sagging in tall frames, and pet-grade polyester takes claws and impacts that would put a hole straight through either of the other two. On a ground-floor opening beside a walkway, the tougher mesh pays for itself quickly.
Visibility varies more than the price difference suggests. A finer weave darkens a view noticeably, which matters a great deal on a picture window you sit in front of every evening, while a high-transparency mesh costs slightly more and effectively disappears. On a north-facing room the finer weave is rarely worth what it takes away. We will bring samples and let you look through them before anything gets ordered.
Solar screen fabric is a different product with a different job entirely. Rated by the percentage of sun it blocks, it belongs on the west elevations that take a full Kansas summer afternoon, and it will cut glare and heat gain noticeably at the price of some daylight and some view. That trade is worth making on some walls and not others.
We rescreen existing frames whenever the frame is still straight and the corners are tight, because rescreening costs a fraction of new fabrication. Once the corner keys have failed and the frame racks in your hands, that is the point where building new frames becomes the cheaper answer of the two.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — hot-rolled steel casement sections, putty-glazed single lights in steel rebates, projected vents on friction stays, cast stone sills and brick soldier courses, masonry punched openings without jamb depth, half-inch steel sightlines — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Wichita and nearby communities including Derby, Haysville, Park City, Bel Aire.

Materials, equipment and how we do window screens and insect frames
The difference between window screens and insect frames that lasts and window screens and insect frames that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with hot-rolled steel casement sections, putty-glazed single lights in steel rebates, projected vents on friction stays, cast stone sills and brick soldier courses, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Wichita job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in south central Kansas means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
