3 Ways To Identify The Best Screening Spline

 

Material

 
A spline is only as good as its material. While there are different polymers in the market, polyethylene foam is the best for manufacturing splines. Alcot Plastics Ltd. uses extruded polyethylene foam to manufacture durable and efficient splines. PE foams are water and moisture-resistant. They also do not warp or expand when exposed to the elements. 
 

Size

 
It is a crucial factor that determines how good a fit the spline provides. Choosing the right size is imperative to secure window screens without leaving any gaps. You can trust Alcot Plastics Ltd. to custom manufacture splines specifically to meet your requirements. Custom splines ensure a snug fit.
 

Manufacturer Reputation

 
There are countless screening spline manufacturers and suppliers in the market. It is important to weed out fake ones from real ones. Staying away from spurious foam splines is in your best interest. Alcot Plastics Ltd. has decades of experience and a proven track record. With clients across Canada and the US, we have established ourselves as one of the best in the business.
