This model is specifically designed for windows at 120 x 140 cm. It is generally not long enough for standard door applications.
The black fiberglass mesh is thin and transparent enough to allow daylight into the room while still providing a screen barrier.
It is not recommended to paint the frame, as this may interfere with the magnetic seal and the adhesive quality.
The mesh is made from fiberglass, which is naturally resistant to heat and flame, though it should not be placed in direct contact with an open flame.
On most standard painted or PVC frames, the adhesive can be removed without damage, though you should test a small area first.
Ensure the frame surface is completely free of dust, grease, or paint residue before reapplying the adhesive strip.
Verify that the screen was cut accurately. If gaps persist, you may need to apply additional magnetic strip segments or adjust the tension of the mesh.
To install, ensure the window frame surface is thoroughly cleaned to allow the adhesive tape to bond effectively. Measure your window opening precisely before cutting the mesh to size. Once measured, cut the material carefully with heavy-duty scissors. Apply the magnetic strips to the frame, then press the mesh onto the magnets for a taut fit. For ongoing care, the fiberglass mesh can be wiped down with a damp cloth to remove dust or pollen. When not in use, store the screen in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and the magnetic properties of the strips.
