Product Information

Full details

This Magnetic Fly Screen Door Curtain by B&Q is an ideal solution for homeowners looking to keep their living spaces insect-free during warmer months without sacrificing natural airflow. Designed for high-traffic doorways, it utilizes a full-length magnetic system that allows for hands-free entry and automatic closure, making it perfect for households with pets or children. While it provides excellent protection against flying pests, it is best suited for standard-sized doorways and requires careful alignment during installation to ensure the magnets seal correctly.

FAQs

Can this screen be trimmed to fit a smaller door?

While the mesh can be trimmed, it is recommended to fold or overlap the material where possible to maintain the structural integrity of the magnetic strip.

Will this screen keep out small insects like gnats?

The mesh is designed for common household pests like flies and wasps; extremely small insects may potentially pass through depending on the mesh density.

Is the magnetic strip durable enough for pets?

Yes, it is designed for frequent use. Most cats and dogs learn to push through the center easily, and the magnets will snap back together immediately.

Can I remove it during the winter?

Yes, you can carefully remove the screen and store it away. However, note that the adhesive tape may lose its tackiness if removed and reapplied multiple times.

Does it work on metal door frames?

It is best suited for wood or plastic frames where the adhesive and pins can be easily applied. Using it on metal may require a different mounting method.

Troubleshooting

The screen does not close automatically after passing through.

Check that the screen is not mounted too tightly, which can prevent the magnets from meeting. Ensure the bottom of the screen is not dragging on the floor.

The adhesive tape is peeling away from the door frame.

Ensure the surface was completely clean and dry before application. Use the provided pins for extra reinforcement on the top edge of the frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Automatic closure ensures no gaps for insects
  • Allows for natural ventilation throughout the home
  • Hands-free access is convenient for pets and daily use
  • Easy installation process using provided accessories

Cons

  • Adhesive may not be suitable for all textured paint surfaces
  • Fixed dimensions might not fit non-standard wide or tall door frames
  • Requires proper alignment for magnets to snap closed consistently

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the screen, clean your door frame thoroughly to ensure the adhesive tape bonds effectively. Align the top of the curtain with the door frame, using the provided pins to secure the mesh in place, then attach the adhesive strips along the sides.

Compatibility: This product is designed for standard 210 x 100cm openings.

Care: The screen is low-maintenance. If it accumulates dust or debris, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth or a gentle sponge. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the mesh or degrade the magnetic strip's casing.
