FAQs

How do I clean the magnetic insect screen?

You can clean the mesh by gently wiping it with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching.

Can this screen be used on any type of window?

It is designed for standard windows and can be fitted on various frame materials (wood, aluminum, uPVC) as long as the frame surface is clean and smooth for the magnetic adhesive strips. It may need trimming for a perfect fit.

Does the magnetic strip require drilling?

No, the magnetic strip uses adhesive tape for attachment to the window frame, eliminating the need for drilling or screws.

What is the material of the screen?

The screen is made of durable, UV-resistant, and water-resistant fibreglass mesh (100% PE).

Can I cut the screen to fit smaller windows?

Yes, the screen is designed to be cut to fit any window size as needed. Use sharp scissors for a clean cut.

What color is the frame and mesh?

The frame color is Anthracite, and the mesh color is Black.

How is the screen attached to the frame?

It uses a magnetic strip with adhesive tape that is fixed tightly to the window frame. The mesh itself then attaches to this magnetic strip.

Troubleshooting

Screen not staying attached

Ensure the window frame is clean and dry before applying the magnetic strip. Check if the magnetic strip is properly aligned and making full contact with the mesh. Try reapplying the adhesive tape, ensuring it adheres firmly.

Insects still getting through gaps

Verify that the mesh has been cut to the correct size and is sealed along all edges against the frame. Ensure there are no tears or holes in the mesh itself. Adjust the positioning if necessary.

Difficulty cutting the mesh to size

Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for a clean cut. Ensure the mesh is laid flat and taut while cutting.

Adhesive tape not sticking well

Clean the window frame surface thoroughly to remove any dust or grease. Allow the frame to dry completely. Consider using a stronger double-sided adhesive tape specifically designed for outdoor use if the provided tape is insufficient.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clean the window frame thoroughly where the magnetic strip will be applied.
  2. Cut the mesh to the desired size using scissors.
  3. Attach the adhesive magnetic strip to the window frame.
  4. Position the mesh against the magnetic strip, ensuring it is evenly aligned.
  5. Secure the mesh by pressing it firmly onto the magnetic strip.

Compatibility:

This screen is compatible with most standard window frames. The magnetic system allows it to be fitted onto various frame materials, including wood, aluminum, and uPVC, provided the surface is clean and smooth for the adhesive tape. It is designed for windows measuring up to 100 cm wide and 120 cm long, but can be cut down.

Care:

To clean the mesh, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Ensure the mesh is completely dry before reattaching. The magnetic strips can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Periodically check the adhesive on the magnetic strips for re-adhesion.
