Product Information
Full details
This VIDAXL insect curtain is designed for homeowners, caravan owners, and those seeking to maintain a pest-free environment during warmer months. Its primary benefit is effectively blocking flies, mosquitoes, and other insects while allowing easy passage and providing privacy. A minor caveat is that while the length can be adjusted, the width is fixed at 90cm. Key features include dense chenille strands for insect prevention and heat reduction, a quiet operation, and a water-resistant, easy-to-clean design.

FAQs
What material is the insect curtain made of?
The curtain is made of 100% polypropylene chenille strands.
What are the dimensions of the curtain?
The curtain measures 90 cm in width and 220 cm in height.
Can I cut the curtain to a shorter length?
Yes, the length of the curtain is adjustable and can be trimmed if needed.
How do I clean the insect curtain?
The curtain is water-resistant and can be wiped with a damp cloth. For a more thorough clean, hand wash with mild soap and water and air dry.
Does the curtain come with mounting hardware?
The curtain includes hooks for attachment, but you may need to provide your own screws or adhesive depending on your door frame.
Is the width of the curtain adjustable?
No, the width of the curtain is fixed at 90 cm. For wider openings, multiple curtains can be used.
Will this curtain block out light completely?
While the dense strands offer some privacy, it is not designed as a blackout curtain and will allow some light to pass through.
Troubleshooting
Curtain does not hang straight
Ensure the top mounting bar or hooks are level. Adjust the position of individual hooks if necessary.
Strands are tangled
Gently detangle by hand. Avoid pulling forcefully. If severely tangled, consider carefully trimming the affected strands.
Insects are still entering
Check for gaps around the edges of the curtain. Ensure the curtain is sufficiently long and wide to cover the entire opening. Verify that strands are dense enough and not damaged.
Curtain is difficult to pass through
Ensure you are parting the strands correctly. If the curtain is too long, trim it to a more manageable length.
