The FiberFix Screenmend Roll is a specialized 80-inch strip of repair material designed for fixing long tears or multiple small holes in window and door screens. The 1.2-inch width makes it particularly efficient for repairs along the edges of a frame or for narrow vertical rips. It is constructed from vinyl-coated fiberglass, a material known for its fire-retardant properties and UV resistance.
Usability is enhanced by a heat-activated adhesive layer. Instead of relying on pressure-sensitive glue that can fail in high humidity, this tape requires a hairdryer to reach a specific temperature to fuse with the existing screen. This creates a low-profile repair that allows the screen to continue sliding smoothly in tight window tracks. The silver-gray pigment is designed to match aged aluminum or standard gray fiberglass mesh.
Tests indicate that for the most reliable results, heat should be applied from both sides of the screen where possible to ensure the adhesive penetrates the mesh fully. While it provides a sturdy fix for daily household use, it is best suited for static repairs rather than screens frequently subjected to the claws of climbing pets.
If your screen is beyond a simple tape repair and requires a full structural frame, the 36-inch aluminum frame kit can help you build a new one from scratch.
