FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the screen?
The insect screen has a size of 80 x 100 cm (Width x Height).
Is this screen suitable for all types of windows?
This screen is specifically designed for roof windows of the specified dimensions (80 x 100 cm). It may not fit standard vertical windows.
How do I clean the mesh screen?
You can gently clean the fibreglass mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap, or use a soft brush/vacuum cleaner on a low setting. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Does the PET shade completely block light?
The PET shade is designed to block sunlight and reduce glare, but it does not provide complete blackout. Some light will still filter through.
What materials is the screen made from?
The frame is made of aluminium, the insect mesh is fibreglass, and the shade is made of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
What is included in the delivery?
Delivery includes one aluminium frame, one mesh insect screen, and one PET shade.
Can I cut the screen to a smaller size?
While the frame can be cut, it is not recommended as it may compromise the structural integrity and seal. The mesh and shade are designed to fit the 80 x 100 cm frame.
Troubleshooting
Screen does not fit window frame properly
Double-check the window frame dimensions against the product size (80 x 100 cm). Ensure the aluminium frame is correctly assembled and all components are aligned. Minor adjustments may be possible depending on the window installation.
Mesh is torn or damaged
Carefully inspect the mesh for any damage. If a small tear occurs, it might be repairable with mesh repair tape. For significant damage, replacement of the mesh may be necessary.
PET shade is difficult to deploy or retract
Ensure the shade mechanism is clean and free from obstructions. Check if the tension is set correctly. If problems persist, consult the installation guide for specific instructions on the shade mechanism.
Insects are still getting through
Verify that there are no gaps between the screen frame and the window frame. Ensure the mesh is fully intact and that the screen is properly sealed around all edges. Check for any openings at the bottom or sides.
