FAQs

How easy is it to install?

Installation is very straightforward. It uses 12 adhesive tapes that attach directly to your door frame, requiring no tools or permanent fixtures.

What are the maximum dimensions for this fly screen?

The screen is designed to fit door sizes up to 210cm in height and 100cm in width.

Can I wash the fly screen?

Yes, you can gently hand wash it with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching it to the door frame.

How does the screen close automatically?

The screen features magnetic strips sewn into the center seam. When you pass through, these magnets pull the two halves of the screen back together, closing it automatically.

Will the adhesive damage my door frame?

The adhesive tapes are designed for temporary attachment. While generally safe for most surfaces, it's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate finishes. Residue may be removable with appropriate cleaners.

Can this be used on a double door?

This screen is designed for single doors up to 100cm wide. It would not be suitable for a standard double door opening without modification or using multiple screens.

Is the mesh durable?

The mesh is designed to be durable for regular use, but like any mesh product, it can be susceptible to tearing if subjected to excessive force or sharp objects.

Troubleshooting

Screen does not close properly

Ensure the magnetic strips are not obstructed and that the screen is hanging straight. Check if the adhesive tapes are securely attached and the frame is level.

Adhesive tapes are not sticking well

Clean the door frame again with a degreaser and allow it to dry completely. Ensure the surface is smooth and free from dust or moisture. Consider using stronger double-sided tape if the provided ones are insufficient.

Mesh is torn or damaged

Minor tears can sometimes be repaired with fabric tape. For significant damage, replacement of the screen may be necessary.

Insects are still getting through

Check for gaps around the edges of the screen where it meets the frame. Ensure the magnetic closure is sealing completely. Verify the mesh is intact and free of holes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent insect protection.
  • Simple and quick to install with no drilling required.
  • Allows for natural airflow and ventilation.
  • The magnetic closure is convenient for passage.
  • Suitable for a wide range of living spaces.

Cons

  • Mesh can be susceptible to tearing if handled roughly.
  • Requires a clean, flat surface for optimal adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the door frame thoroughly to ensure a dust-free and dry surface for the adhesive tapes.
  2. Attach the 12 adhesive tapes evenly along the top and sides of the door frame where the screen will be placed.
  3. Carefully align and press the mesh screen onto the adhesive tapes, ensuring a snug fit.
  4. Verify that the magnetic seam in the center aligns correctly and closes smoothly.

Compatibility:

This screen is designed for door frames up to 210cm in height and 100cm in width. It is best suited for standard single doors or as a temporary solution for larger openings where the size is appropriate. Ensure the frame is flat and smooth for best adhesion.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • If the screen becomes dirty, hand wash gently with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reattaching.
  • Periodically check the adhesive tapes and reapply if necessary to ensure the screen remains secure.
