Abstract
A hidden fastener screen installation system includes a plurality of screen frame extrusions cooperating to form an opening across which a screen is positioned. Each screen frame extrusion includes a mounting surface and a singular mounting rib extending outwardly from the mounting surface. The mounting surface is configured to receive a plurality of mechanical fasteners to retain the screen frame extrusion to a portion of a building structure. A trim mold includes a channel configured to closely receive and retain the mounting rib. The screen is received in the channel and is retained by cooperation between the trim mold and the mounting rib. A portion of the trim mold extends over the fasteners and fully covers the fasteners such that the fasteners are completely hidden upon installation of the trim mold on the screen frame.
