Quality Specifications

Your screens will be built to the following quality tolerances:

  • Height and Width Dimensions: +0, -1/16th of an inch
  • Screen Thickness: +.45mm, -0.0
  • Gaps in borders and gridwork can not exceed 1/16th of an inch.
  • Frame bonding is guaranteed for normal use, but is not guaranteed against dropping or torsional forces.
  • The shoji paper is a very durable material, however we can not quantify a tolerance and therefore can not list a guarantee for it
  • When purchasing a polyurethane coating on your screen, you are purchasing two light coats of coating on the frame. The gridwork will not be coated unless you specifically request it to be coated.

  • Stain appearance is guaranteed by process only. We will apply a pre-coat of wood preparation and up to two coats of stain according to the stain directions. Here is a sample of two screens stained with Sedona Red. A customer can expect similar quality in their screens.
