Use and Care Manual

CARE FOR THE SCREEN Caring for your Fresh Air Screen is a breeze. It can be left up
all year long, or it can be removed for storage. Please do not use sharp objects on
your screen, as this can damage your screen and void any return/warranty policies. To
add roofing nails for extra hold; please apply this to the adhesive loop only. Your
screen can be easily removed and stored until you are ready to use again. Remove any
nails from the adhesive loop (if applied). Gently wash your screen with soap and
water. Allow the screen to dry thoroughly before storing.
CARE FOR THE ADHESIVE LOOP Make sure the surface of the frame is clean and dry
before applying the adhesive loop strip. You can use isopropyl alcohol and water, but
avoid harsh chemicals, silicone sprays or cleaners that leave a sticky or oily residue, as
this can affect your application. Make sure the area has dried fully before applying the
adhesive loop strip. Allow the tape to fully cure prior to installing your screen. To do
this, apply the adhesive loop strip and let it sit for 24 hours, then fasten your screen to
it, using the instructions provided. This will allow the adhesion to work at its full
strength before adding the weight of the screen. It is common for adhesive loop strips
to being lift first at the corners. If you find this to be the case with your screen, try
rounding off the corners with a pair of scissors. This will reduce the likelihood of the
corners catching and lifting. Some areas that are exposed to extreme temperatures or
weather conditions may experience some difficulty with maintaining proper adhesion.
It is okay to apply roofing nails, marine screws, or similar binding to the adhesive loop
strip. If you choose this option, be sure to avoid puncturing the screen itself with
sharp points or edges.
CARE FOR ZIPPERS Fresh Air Screens feature heavy-duty zippers that do not require
special attention for everyday use. The following are tips to troubleshoot zipper issues
that may occur. Is your zipper not zipping? Nothing is more frustrating than sliding the
zipper pull and finding out that nothing happened. This could simply be a slider issue
that can be solved with a plier. Narrow both side gaps, then the vertical (up and down)
gap to tighten it. Adjustments should be very slight, as it may not take much to restore
it to full use. Check the slider, then adjust it again if necessary. Is your zipper stuck?
Usually, this is not a difficult problem to solve as it is usually stuck on a thread or hair.
The solution is as simple as finding the blockage and removing it. If you do not see a
blockage, check the alignment of the teeth. Fixing an alignment issue in the teeth
might be a bit more complicated, so check with a representative to see what options
fit your scenario best! Is the pull tab broken? It’s not too common for a pull tab to
break on the heavy-duty zippers used on Fresh Air Screens, but anything is possible!
Simply insert a metal ring, thin wire or even a paperclip into the slider to replace the
pull.
CARE FOR ROD POCKETS Use caution when inserting the rods. If they are cut sharp or
jagged, they may catch on the stitching or fibers and tear the material. Sand down the
edges or put rubber caps on the ends to prevent damage. Inserting too much weight
on the screen can cause pulling on the adhesive loop or stitching. If you find signs of
stretching or tearing, replace your rod with a light weight. When inserting the rod - do
not force the rod through. Work slowly and adjust the material if you feel any tension
to prevent forceful damage.
