How Foam Screening Splines Offer Better Insulation
August 23, 2022
A window is one of the most essential elements of a building. Whether for ventilation and lighting or protection from harsh external elements, windows are of utmost importance. Insulation is another key benefit that windows offer. However, the window screen needs to be firmly attached to its frame for it to do the job well and keep your space well insulated. Screening splines are responsible for holding firmly the screen to its frame. Made of polyethylene foam, screening splines are durable and sustain even under harsh weather conditions. We list in this blog how foam screening splines offer better insulation.
How foam screening splines offer better insulation
Foam splines are made from a closed-cell foam that is extruded into a variety of shapes and sizes. Polyethylene foam can be molded into nearly any shape, making it ideal for use in insulation applications.
Polyethylene foam has excellent thermal performance, meaning it helps to keep heat inside a building or home while also preventing outside air from entering. This makes it an ideal choice for use in both residential and commercial applications. In addition to its thermal properties, polyethylene foam also offers good acoustic performance, helping to reduce noise levels inside a building.
Foam screening splines are also very durable. They can withstand a great deal of wear and tear. When properly installed, foam screening can last for many years, providing superior insulation performance over time as it leaves no gap between the window screen and its frame.
