How to replace roof vent screen

[Valerie Phythyon]

How do I replace the screen in my bedroom roof vent? It is old and dirty and does not look very nice. Where can I buy this? How do I install this? Has anyone ever done this before?

The screen IS replaceable. In my experience, 90% are set up like a home screen with the screening material and securing roping. Others are a tuck and pinch design. A few of them on the market were a mass produced version which required a Buy and replace method. There are several distributors who sell the replacement screen with frame, including Ebay. (typing in Vent screen replacement). Most screens have 2 to 6 screws holding them in place and some are *snapped into place.  Hope this helps you a little bit.

Thank you for your information. It helped a lot. I nervously removed the frames from the vents and discovered that mine are one piece. So I soaked them in the bathtub and scrubbed the screens using dish washing liquid. Good as new.  Almost too easy!
