Great service and product. This flyscreen is easy to install and works really well keeping Flys out of the house. The cats are still able to get out their cat flap too. Much sturdier fabric then what you can buy at Bunnings or Mitre 10. Highly recommended
These are simply the best fly screens on the market. Don't settle for second best, get these, you won't be disappointed 🤩🤩🤩
Not only is the screen fantastic, I don't think I have ever had better customer service and communications in my long life. Thank you so Budget Screens, I'll be a customer my whole life. Keep up the great work. Guy
The most satisfied i have been with a product in a long time. They delivered above expectations. I was looking for a fly screen and ordered with bespoke measurements to fit my sliding door. Their instructions were very clear and the product fits perfectly. Materials are robust, magnets are strong and it looks very good now that it is installed. So much crap is sold online, this company is a stand out. I am a very satisfied customer ( and now flies free:))
I needed a simple to install, simple to use product, to combat incessant flies coming in through our upstairs balcony in Brisbane. The door being open is essential for the all important breeze, but the flies were unwelcome. Magnetic options were not ideal, and traditional fly screen mesh blocks the breeze. Amazingly, the dangling chains block no breeze, do not block the view much as the loops in the chain are quite open, and not a single fly!!! And I can just unhook it and take it down if I do not want it there all the time. Also amazingly, this product was delivered in just a few days, in the days before Christmas. Tick, tick, tick. Highly recommend the product and company for prompt service.
The magnets on the screen are strong and close well after walking through. would recommend it.
I have ordered 3 screens from the magnetic door company. They are on the outside of my house and I leave them up all summer. They last about 2 years with the wear and tear but I would recommend them - they keep the mosquitos and flies out and are simple to use and do not detract from my view
This Screen Door solution was far superior to the cheaper ones. It uses better double-sided tape and Velcro. You can also get it in white.
Fantastic screen door, perfect for the dog to get in and out. Made to the exact custom measurements I asked for. Great quality material. Very friendly, responsive customer service and communication when ordering
this is the second time I have purchased a custom made fly screen for my bifolding doors in the kitchen. the service was great, the installation process was simple. my first flyscreen lasted several years and hopefully this one will last even longer.
I would definitely recommend the screen door company,we ordered our fly screen with no issues,it was quick and simple to order and arrived a week early,it was easy to put up and we love it

Got questions?
It goes on the WINDOW FRAME. The screen carries its own magnetic profile inside the PVC frame, and this is the strip it grips.
By the metre. Order the number of metres the window needs.
Add the four sides of the opening together. A 100 x 100 centimetre window takes 4 metres. Order a little over so a bad cut is not a second order.
Yes, 3M backed self adhesive.
Ferromagnetic rubber. It keeps its magnetism and its shape under normal household conditions.
It is a permanent magnet, not a battery. Under normal use in a home it keeps its pull.
Scissors. Cut it to length on the spot.
Clean the window frame first, peel the backing and press the strip on firmly along its whole length. Work one side at a time and butt the corners rather than overlapping them.
Adhesive sticks to whatever is on the surface. On dust, it lets go halfway through summer. Methylated spirits and a dry cloth is enough.
It is designed to come away again. Peel it slowly and warm it first in cold weather. On new paint, let the paint cure fully before fitting.
Usually not. The adhesive is a one time bond, and a re-used strip is the usual reason a screen starts falling off.
Yes, to clean, sound timber. A rough or flaking surface is the problem, not the material.
Yes. Those are the commonest window frames it goes onto.
Yes. Replacing a tired strip is the cheapest fix there is, and it is the most common repair on a magnetic screen.
It is the magnet strip, so colour matching is done by the PVC frame rather than by the strip.
Yes, the same ferromagnetic rubber strip with the same 3M backed adhesive.
People do. It is a magnetic strip with adhesive on it, and what it is sold for here is holding a window screen on.
No. That screen is held by hook and loop tape, not by magnets.
No. The strip is cut and butted at the corners. Corner pieces belong to the PVC frame.
It is a slim rubber strip. The whole system installs on about 10 millimetres of depth, which is what lets a blind run in front of it.
No. Paint between the two magnets weakens the hold.
No. It needs a flat surface on the window frame to stick to, not mesh.
It is sold in whole metres. Round up.
It is made for a window frame and everyday weather, which is exactly where the screens use it.
Delivery is free anywhere in Australia on orders of $100 or more. Below that it is a flat $27.50, which is also the express rate, so one price covers the order however many items are in it.
Allow 5 to 7 days to your door, after a 24 to 48 hour handling and processing time on our end.
No. We deliver within Australia only.
Yes. Every price on the site is the GST inclusive price, and the free delivery threshold is measured on the GST inclusive total too.
Yes. You have 30 days to return an unused item in its original packaging for a refund. Nothing here affects your rights under the Australian Consumer Law if the strip is faulty, not fit for purpose or not as described.

The complete guide
On the window frame, not on the screen. The screen carries the magnetic profile inside its PVC frame; this is the strip it sticks to. Clean the frame first, because adhesive on dust is adhesive that lets go halfway through summer.
Add up the four sides of the opening. A 100 x 100 centimetre window needs four metres, and it is worth ordering a little over so a bad cut is not a second order.
Extra magnetic strip for magnetic window screens, sold by Budget Screens by the metre. Ferromagnetic rubber magnet with 3M backed self adhesive, which is the strip that goes on the WINDOW FRAME and holds the screen. Cuts with scissors. Delivered across Australia only. Free delivery over $100, otherwise a flat $27.50 which is also the express rate. All prices include GST.
