Abstract
A screen channel insert for use in connection with a fenestration unit frame including a spline channel. The screen channel insert includes a frame attachment portion for attaching the screen channel insert to the spline channel of the fenestration unit frame, and a channel portion defining an insert spline channel. The insert spline channel is configured to receive a spline to secure a screen to the screen channel insert. The insert spline channel can have different sizes than the spline channel of the frame, enabling the frame to be used with screens having different thicknesses.
