The deformable screen is coupled to the sash and includes at least one engagement portion slidably engaged against the frame. A spring member is coupled to the engagement portion and applies a restoring force to the engagement portion to seal it against the frame. In one option, the spring member includes a foam membrane. A method for making a screen assembly includes providing a frame and a sash disposed within the frame. A spring member is coupled around the sash and at least one engagement portion is coupled to the spring member.
