Screen molding that fits a historic house and resists rot
Screen molding is the thin strip that caps the edge of the screen cloth and holds it flat against the frame. Get the wrong profile and the screen looks off on an old house. This is the standard profile that was common on window screens and screen doors from the 1910s through the 1950s, so it reads right on period work.
It’s milled from Accoya. Accoya is wood that’s been treated to resist rot, which is the part that usually kills screen trim, since it sits out in the weather catching rain. Use it to re-screen old window screens and screen doors or to match existing molding on a porch.
How it’s sold
Available as a single length or in a 10-pack for bigger jobs.
