Anybody know where I can get screens for my windows? You know, the large pre-made screens you have in your windows and not the small flimsy screens that only enable you to open the window a crack. Let me know. Thanks.

    Isn't there a screen "specialist" on Classon right around Prospect or Park?

    Would love to know the name of the screen specialist as Pintchik does not do screens. Not pre-made screens.

    i got an expxanding pre-made screen that i use but you have to take it in and out of the window every time you want to close it....

    but it was i think about 10 bucks, pretty strong (my cats havent gotten through it yet) and i got it at Pintchik

    I was just at Fat Albert's the other day. Saw some screens sitting there right by the bootleg DKNY t shirts.

    i have the same ones but i can close my windows in front of the screen -- perhaps my windows have an extra "slot".

    people often throw near-new ones of these away, or you can just buy new ones!

    Pintchik definitely does have the sturdy, expandable kind. I just got some there. They're in one of the locked rooms; you have to ask.

    The only place I know that has screens around here is Mayday on Washington. Those screens don't last that long. They are cheaply made, as everything in that store is, and ridiculously overpriced, as everything in that store is. You can try Tarzian's on Seventh Avenue in the Slope.
