Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
