Answer: Hell yeah – please do not even compare our screen to those cheap nasty looking velcro versions. I cannot overstate how life-changing these screens have been! I was not sure how they would fit as we have very large (close to 1.4×1.3m windows in every room of the house) but the ability to easily lift up the bottom edge of the frame and open the windows to let in a fresh breeze or to cool the house down on a hot summer night has been utterly HEAVENLY! Their construction consists of a thin disc magnet sitting in a steel shell. This makes the brittle magnets more durable, and… This effective low cost (cheap!) window screen 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).

Finger tabs on the bottom corners of each magnetic fly screen enable you to pull the screen away from the window. The bad: There’s obviously a little more setup involved each time you put up the screen. It doesn’t look quite like a finished product like some nicer ones we’ve seen. It can be a little challenging to make sure the screen is taut between the magnets. It should be held close enough that bugs can’t sneak in! The fly screen mesh is Phiferglass, standard 18 X 16 (thread count per square inch) mesh insect screening, and is woven from permanent glass yarn, coated with a protective vinyl to ensure lasting beauty, color and flexibility. It is produced under the most exacting conditions to meet extremely rigid specifications. Phiferglass is noncombustible and will not rust, corrode or stain. Dark Phiferglass screens offer the best outward visibility of the product line.The flexible PVC frame of the magnetic insect screen is far less bulky and obtrusive compared with traditional aluminium framed fly screens.

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. They are very durable and flexible making them not only easy to clean but also easy to use and potentially store away when not required (eg during those winter months). It is basically a piece of mesh fabric you can get from a fabric store for Halloween costume and a roll of double sided tape – all shipped all the way from China which you can easily buy from a store The VELCRO® fastener will eventually come away from the window frame if sufficient pressure is not applied, and if this happens it cannot be reused. Simple to maintain & highly durable, our magnetic insect screens are ideal for those hot summer months where a steady stream of cool air is always a welcome addition inside any room.WARNING: The VELCRO® fastener cannot be re-positioned if you make a mistake. You will need to start again with new VELCRO® strips. When doing so ensure there are no traces of glue left behind and the surface is spotless again. By applying pressure this activates the ‘Pressure Sensitive Glue’, so it is important to pay special attention to the corners as these are often missed. All magnetic fly screen kits come complete with easy to follow instructions and require no screws, no nails, and will give you no hassles. 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). 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.”
