How do I know if FITFrame will work in my window?

FITFrame requires that the window has at least one window screen pocket channel to help keep the assembled frame in-place once installed. The opening for the window screen must also be between 22.3" and 38" in both height and width. Please see the assembly video for help identifying a pocket and measuring the size of the screen opening.

How do I apply FibaTape?

FibaTape drywall tapes are self-adhesive fiberglass mesh tapes. As long as the surface is dry and dust free the tape will stick by pressing into place by hand or with a taping knife. The tape is now ready to be coated with joint compound.

Why is ADFORS screen flame resistant and the competition’s screen is not?

ADFORS screen was tested per the ASTM standard test for flame resistance. Our coating is specially formulated to contain flame-resistant properties.

What are ASTM tests D3656 and D6413?*

These two tests measure the flame time, flame height, and char length of the screen when exposed to a flame source and after removal of the flame source. *Testing results available upon request

What makes ADFORS screen safer?

Stiff Screen is ortho-phthalate free and does not contain any substances covered under California Prop 65. We have maintained the same great aesthetics, properties and processibility that our screen has always had. We have also achieved GREENGUARD Gold certification on this product, which certifies that the product has low chemical emissions.

What is the difference between the white and yellow FibaTape?

Our White and Yellow FibaTape products are the same tape.  The color is a matter of personal preference.  The yellow tape offers a little more guidance to make sure you have enough mud to cover the tape and to make sure that you don't sand down too low.
