Product Information

Full details

This VIDAXL insect screen net is designed for homeowners seeking an effective, non-permanent solution to keep flying pests like flies, wasps, bees, and mosquitoes out of their homes while allowing fresh air to circulate. Its key benefit lies in its strong magnetic closure and cuttable fibreglass mesh, offering easy installation and customization. A potential caveat is that the adhesive tape for the magnetic strip requires a clean, suitable window frame surface for optimal adherence.

FAQs

Can this screen be installed on a sliding window?

While designed for standard hinged windows, it can potentially be adapted for sliding windows if the frame allows for a secure magnetic attachment around the opening.

What is the material of the mesh?

The mesh is made of durable, UV-resistant, and water-resistant fibreglass.

How do I clean the insect screen?

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and allow to air dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I install this screen without drilling holes?

Yes, the screen uses a magnetic strip with adhesive tape for installation, requiring no drilling or screws.

What are the dimensions of the screen?

The screen measures 130 x 150 cm (Width x Length).

Is the screen re-usable after removal?

Yes, the screen can be removed and re-attached multiple times as long as the magnetic strips and adhesive tape remain in good condition.

What is the frame color and mesh color?

The frame color is Anthracite, and the mesh color is Black.

Troubleshooting

Insects are still getting through.

Ensure the mesh is properly sealed around the entire frame. Check for any gaps between the magnetic strips and the frame, or if the mesh is not taut. Reapply adhesive tape if the magnetic strip is not adhering firmly.

Magnetic strip not sticking well.

Clean the window frame thoroughly where the adhesive tape will be applied. Ensure the surface is completely dry and free of dust, grease, or old adhesive residue. Replace the adhesive tape if it has lost its stickiness.

Mesh is sagging or not straight.

Ensure the mesh was cut to the correct size and is pulled taut during installation. Adjust the positioning on the magnetic strips to achieve a straighter, tighter fit.

Difficulty in cutting the mesh cleanly.

Use a sharp pair of scissors or a craft knife for clean cuts. Take your time and use a cutting mat if using a knife.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy, tool-free magnetic installation and removal.
  • Effective barrier against a wide range of flying insects.
  • Durable, UV-resistant, and water-resistant fibreglass material.
  • Allows for good airflow and ventilation.
  • Customizable to fit various window sizes.

Cons

  • Adhesive tape requires a clean and suitable surface for strong attachment.
  • May not be suitable for all window frame types or materials.
  • Fibreglass mesh can be delicate if handled roughly during cutting or installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the window frame is clean, dry, and free from dust or debris. The magnetic strip with adhesive tape requires a smooth surface for proper adhesion.
  2. Measure the window opening carefully and cut the fibreglass mesh to the desired size using scissors or a sharp blade. Leave a small overlap for fitting.
  3. Apply the adhesive tape to the magnetic strip, then attach the magnetic strip to the inside perimeter of the window frame, ensuring it makes contact with both the frame and the window sash when closed.
  4. Carefully position the cut mesh onto the magnetic strip, ensuring it adheres evenly around the frame. The magnetic strips on the mesh will connect to the strips on the frame.
  5. Check that the screen is taut and seals well against the frame.

Compatibility:

This screen is best suited for standard window frames made of wood, PVC, or aluminum, provided the surface for the adhesive tape is smooth and clean. It is not recommended for textured, dusty, or uneven surfaces. The magnetic design means it's ideal for windows that open inwards or outwards, as it installs on the frame itself.

Care:

To clean the mesh, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which can damage the fibreglass. The magnetic strips can be wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Periodically check the adhesion of the magnetic strips and reapply tape if necessary.
