Use this calculator to price insect screens, patio door screens, specialty mesh, frames, spline, corners, labor, and packaging for fenestration orders.

What this calculator does

  • Estimate window or door screen assembly cost from screen count, cost per screen, scope, and setup adders.
  • quoting screens or comparing screen options by project
  • The result estimates screen assembly cost for the selected order or option scope.

Formula used

  • Variable screen assembly cost = screen assemblies in the order × fully burdened cost per screen × screen assembly scope included
  • Total screen assembly cost = variable screen assembly cost + fixed screen setup and packaging adder

Inputs explained

  • screen assemblies in the order: Use the number of complete screens, screen panels, or replacement screens in the schedule.
  • fully burdened cost per screen: Include frame, mesh, spline, corners, tabs, labor, packaging, scrap, and handling.
  • screen assembly scope included: Use 100% for complete screens or less for mesh-only, frame-only, labor-only, or replacement-kit scope.
  • fixed screen setup and packaging adder: Include mesh changeover, setup, labeling, special packaging, minimum order charges, or freight handling.

How to use the result

  • Use it to quote screens, evaluate mesh upgrades, issue materials, and decide whether replacement screens need separate pricing.
  • Treat the result as an estimating and planning number until it is checked against the latest drawings, rough-opening schedule, NFRC or test data, supplier quotes, ERP standards, installation conditions, code requirements, breakage history, scrap reports, labor studies, and actual production results for the same product family.
