The Magnetic Window Flyscreen
The DIY magnetic window screen is installed onto your window via a “permanently temporary” magnetic strip so that it does not affect your existing window frame and is especially designed to blend into the background, principally being invisible from a distance.
This effective low cost (cheap!) temporary flyscreen allows you to have a high quality of life without the worry of mosquitoes, lizards or other insects in your house. It is easy to remove for cleaning (just spray/clean with water and detergent).
If you have double hung or casement windows and are scratching your head about what is the best DIY fly screen solution to protect your family and house from those irritating, dirty and potentially disease carrying insects - DIY magnetic insect screens are the ideal solution.
Magnetic fly screens can be custom cut to fit windows of all types and sizes, simply and easily.
They are very durable and flexible making them not only easy to clean but also easy to use.
Finger tabs on the bottom corners of each magnetic fly screen enable you to pull the screen away from the window to give you easy access to open and close your window.
The magnetic insect screen flexes easily out of the way providing you unhindered access to open and close your windows, just let the corner tab go and it will simply snap back into place.
The flexible PVC frame of the magnetic insect screen is far less bulky and obtrusive compared with traditional aluminium framed fly screens.
"On older homes where no 2 windows are the same size and sometimes out of square also, magnetic screens are ideal because they are individually measured to fit with millimetre accuracy to ensure that they fit perfectly."
The overall effect of having slimline frames and the fly screens being easily DIY custom fitted to individual windows results in a very tidy and professional looking finish that often gives a lifting effect on a room. They are the perfect addition to any home.
