window screen

Ventilation with protection

A window screen is a fine mesh panel fitted to a window frame, allowing air to flow through while keeping insects out.

Most American homes have screens on windows that open; the term is less common in regions where window screens aren't standard.

We need to replace the torn window screen before summer.
