Magnetic Screen For Windows | Magnet Window Screens | Magnetic Fly Screen Window

A magnetic strip sticks to your window frame with 3M backed adhesive. The screen sits in a PVC frame with a matching magnetic profile down every edge, and the two hold each other. There is nothing to screw in and nothing to drill.

A cutting blade or a strong pair of scissors, and that is all. No tradesman tools and no drill.

The size ABOVE your window, because you cut the screen down to fit. The three sizes are 100 x 100, 150 x 150 and 200 x 200 centimetres. A 112 x 95 centimetre window takes the 150 x 150 kit.

Measure the opening you want to cover, width and height, at the widest and tallest points. Then pick the size above both numbers.

Cut the PVC frame to length first with a blade or strong scissors, then trim the mesh with about a centimetre spare. Do the frame before the mesh and take your time on the first one.

Standard 18 x 16 fibreglass insect screening in grey, woven from permanent glass yarn with a protective vinyl coating. It has a 66% open area and a thread diameter of 0.011 inches, or 0.279 millimetres.

Yes. The 18 x 16 weave stops mosquitoes, flies and other everyday flying insects. For no-see-ums, sand flies and gnats you want the tighter midge mesh, which is on the velcro edged screen.

Yes. The mesh is a dark grey and it reads as a slight tint from inside. It does not block the view and it does not stop the light coming in.

White for a white aluminium or PVC window, which is most Australian windows. Black if you want it least visible from outside, because a dark edge reads as a shadow line. Brown for a timber or bronze anodised frame.

No. The mesh is grey in all three. Only the PVC frame and the trim change colour.

Yes, and it is the main reason people buy it. The magnetic strip is held on by 3M backed adhesive, so nothing is screwed, nailed or drilled into the window frame and the strip comes away when you leave.

It is designed to come off again. Take it slowly and warm the strip first if the weather is cold. On a freshly painted frame, let the paint cure fully before you stick anything to it.

Most of them: aluminium, timber, PVC, sliding windows, shutters, awning windows, and the small windows in a bathroom or a toilet. It needs about 10 millimetres of depth, which is why it clears a blind or a roller shutter.

Yes. It installs on a depth of 10 millimetres, so a blind or a shutter still runs in front of it.

Lift the whole panel off, wipe it with a damp cloth or run a vacuum brush over it, and press it back on. That is the advantage of a magnetic frame over a fixed screen.

Yes. Lift it off, roll it up and put it away. It does not take up much space rolled, and the strip can stay on the frame ready for next summer.

The ferromagnetic rubber magnet keeps its magnetism and its shape under normal household conditions. It is a permanent magnet, not a battery.

In a normal breeze, no. On an exposed elevation the wind clips in the corner pieces set are worth adding, and they are sold separately in the same three colours.

Spare PVC frame is sold by the metre, magnetic strip by the metre and corner pieces by the set, so a bad cut costs a few dollars rather than a whole new screen.

Yes, and plenty of people do. Cut the frame down for both openings, then buy extra frame, extra magnetic strip and a corner set for the second one. All three are on the accessories page.

The fibreglass screening is non combustible and it will not rust, corrode or stain.

It is designed for windows. For a doorway, the magnetic screen door is the right product, because it opens down the middle and closes itself behind you.

It helps a little, because the mesh shades the glass, but it is an insect screen and not a sun screen. A screen on a west facing window makes a noticeable difference on an afternoon.

The PVC frame with its magnetic profile, the mesh, and the self adhesive magnetic strip that goes on the window frame.

We do not recommend it. Paint on the magnetic profile puts a layer between the two magnets and weakens the hold. Pick the colour closest to your frame instead.

Yes, and there is an installation video on the product page. It is worth watching before you make the first cut.

Yes. Replacement mesh is sold as a cut piece in three sizes and three types on the screen mesh page, and by the roll if you have a lot to do.

For a window, yes, as long as the frame gives you a flat run of about 10 millimetres for the strip. Salt air is not a problem for the mesh, which will not rust or corrode.

The mesh and the frame are built for years of normal use. The parts that wear, the mesh and the adhesive strip, are both replaceable on their own, so a damaged screen is a repair rather than a replacement.
