Make Windows Leakproof With Foam Screening Splines
May 28, 2025
Windows, when chosen carefully, can elevate a building’s curb appeal. Architects and designers spend significant time deciding on window designs and patterns. This ensures windows seamlessly blend with the overall design style and accentuate the design. However, it is important to understand that windows do not merely elevate aesthetics. They are equally important for functional reasons such as ventilation, natural lighting, and noise regulation. To reap these benefits, windows must be leak-proof, which can be achieved through screening splines. Alcot Plastics Ltd. manufactures the best polyethylene foam screening splines.
Even The Smallest Gap Around Windows Can Be Detrimental
Gaps around windows and doors are common. However, very few homeowners realize the impact these seemingly small gaps have on energy bills. HVAC systems consume optimal energy when the insulation is proper. Gaps, no matter how small, lead to leakage.
This, in turn, puts stress on the HVAC system and results in increased energy consumption. Foam screening splines offer a simple and effective way to plug leakages around windows. A spline’s primary purpose is to hold the window screens firmly in their slots and preserve their structural integrity.
Here are a few qualities of foam splines that make them perfect for the task.
Flexibility: Made of top-quality PE foam, screening splines are flexible. This allows them to be squeezed into tight grooves without being damaged. Splines ensure the window screen doesn’t move around by occupying the space within grooves
Durability: We manufacture polyethylene foam using special extrusion technology, making it extra strong and durable. When you invest in our foam splines, you need not worry about frequent replacements.
Water Resistant: The closed-cell structure of PE foam makes splines resistant to water and moisture. Alcot Plastics Ltd. manufactures foam splines ideal for all weather conditions. They do not shrink or expand with changing temperatures.
