How to Put Acrylic Sheet in Your Screen Door Frame
Now, let’s learn how to do it! It is very easy. You can do it yourself!
Step 1: Get Your Tools
You’ll need a measuring tool. And you need to measure the frame dimensions. You also need tools to cut and secure the acrylic sheet.
Tool List:
- Measuring tape
- Utility knife or plastic cutting tool
- Straight edge ruler
- Clamps
- Screwdriver
- Safety glasses
- Drill (maybe, if you need to make holes)
Step 2: Measure Your Screen Door Frame
Use your measuring tape. Measure the inside of the screen door frame. Write down the numbers. Measure two times! This makes sure you get it right. Accurate measurement is very important. You can choose adhesive vs. mechanical fastening. You need to consider frame depth requirements.
Step 3: Cut the Acrylic Sheet
We can cut the acrylic sheet for you! Just tell us the size. If you want to cut it, here’s how:
- Put the acrylic sheet on a flat table.
- Use your ruler to draw a line. This is where you cut.
- Use your clamps to hold the acrylic sheet.
- Use your cutting tool. Cut along the line many times. Do not push too hard.
- Score repeatedly until it’s almost cut through.
- Then, bend it! It will break clean.
Be very careful. Ask a grown-up to help!
Step 4: Put the Acrylic in the Frame
Now, put the acrylic sheet in the screen door frame. Does it fit? Good! If it’s too big, you may need to cut it a little more.
Step 5: Secure the Acrylic Sheet
You have some choices here:
- Option 1: Use Screws You can use screws to hold the acrylic. This is very strong. You might need to drill small holes first.
- Option 2: Use Retainer Clips Many screen frames have grooves. You can slide the acrylic in. You might need spline or clips to hold it . A spline roller can make this easy.
- Option 3: Double-sided Tape If you want to replace your acrylic in future. Double-sided tape can make it.
Tips for a Perfect Fit:
- Make sure the acrylic is not too tight.
- If using screws, don’t make them too tight! This can crack the acrylic.
- If using spline, make sure it’s the right size for your frame.
Step 6: You Are Done!
Look at your screen door! It now has a nice acrylic sheet. No more bugs! No more rain!
Clean your new acrylic sheet with mild soap.Do not use harsh chemicals.
