Magnetic Screen Door | Magnet Door Screens | Magnetic Mesh Screen Door

Measure the width across the door frame and the height from the sill to the top of the frame, then add 2cm at the top and 2cm at each side for the velcro strip. Match that to the closest size going up, never down.

Fifteen, from 60cm wide up to 180cm wide, in a 210cm height and, on the wider widths, a 240cm height. The full list with prices is in the picker above.

Up to 40, running the full height of the centre and sewn into the fabric. Cheaper screens use 26 or fewer, spaced apart, which is why their seams hang open in the middle.

More magnets means a shorter gap between each one, so the seam pulls together along its whole length rather than in a few spots. The gaps between spaced magnets are exactly where flies get through.

Sewn into the fabric. Glued magnets are the usual failure on a cheap screen, because adhesive gives up in a hot doorway and you end up with a magnet in the grass.

The upgraded midge mesh at 15 x 17 density. It is a heavier weave than the thin nylon on budget screens, it resists chemical corrosion, and it keeps its shape rather than sagging.

Yes. That is the point of the midge grade. The weave is close enough for midges and the smaller biting insects, alongside flies, mosquitoes and wasps.

No. Air moves through it freely, and so does daylight. Sitting with the back door open on a warm evening without letting anything in is the reason people fit one.

Yes. From inside you see the garden. From outside in daylight it reads as a dark doorway rather than a curtain, which is worth knowing if the door faces a street.

Nothing. No drill, no screwdriver, no tradesman. The velcro strip is already stitched to the screen and presses onto the frame face.

No. Nothing is drilled and nothing is screwed. The velcro comes off the frame cleanly at the end of the season, which is what makes it a rental answer.

Minutes. Line the top edge up, press the strip down one side and then the other, and check the two halves meet cleanly down the middle before you walk through it.

By hand, and not with scissors or a knife. The mesh is folded tight inside the bag and a blade nicks it before you have seen it. This is the most common way a new screen gets damaged.

No. The mesh does not hold crease marks, so it comes out of the bag folded and hangs straight within an hour or so.

Yes, and most people do. It comes off the frame, folds up small, and goes back on in spring. There is nothing to reinstall, because nothing was fixed in the first place.

Yes, as long as the frame surround is flat enough for the velcro to press onto and the opening matches one of the sizes. Fit it to the surround, not to the panel that moves.

Yes. Caravans and motorhomes are a common use, for the same reason as rentals: nothing gets drilled into the bodywork.

Yes. There is a widespread belief that bi-folds cannot be screened and it is not true. The screen fits the outer frame of the opening rather than the individual panels, so the doors still fold and stack behind it.

Cats usually work it out in an afternoon and dogs within a day or two. The seam parts under a nose or a shoulder and closes again behind them.

Yes. There is no handle to reach and no latch to work, so a child walks into it and through it. It also cannot be left propped open, which is the failure mode of a hinged screen door in a family house.

That is what the heavy black magnets are for. The seam pulls together from top to bottom, so the hundredth pass closes the same as the first.

It moves, as any curtain screen does, and the magnets bring it back together once the gust drops. In a badly exposed doorway a fixed frame screen is the better answer.

A damp cloth for dust. For anything worse, take the screen off, wash it in warm soapy water and hang it to dry before refitting. It is easy to clean and it does not stain easily.

It is built for a long service life. The mesh is heavier than the cheap nylon versions and resists corrosion, and the magnets are stitched in rather than glued, which is the part that usually fails first.

Neither. Black, brown and white are the same screen at the same price. Black gives the clearest view out, because your eye reads past dark mesh more easily than light mesh.

Match the frame if you want it to disappear: white on uPVC, brown on timber. Pick black if you care more about seeing out than about how the doorway looks.

Go up rather than down. Mesh will overlap a frame edge without any trouble. It will not stretch to cover a gap, and a gap is where the insects get in.

Ask us. These are stocked in set sizes and also made to order, so an unusual opening is a quote rather than a dead end.

Allow up to 7 working days for delivery after dispatch within 2 working days. Demand runs hard through the warm months and we would rather give you the real number than the optimistic one.

Orders over EUR 50 ship free anywhere in Austria, which saves the EUR 22 express charge.

No, and it is not meant to be. It is an insect screen, not a security door. The main door still locks behind it in the normal way.

No. The screen sits on the frame face, so a hinged door still swings and a slider still slides. On an inward-opening door, check the door leaf clears the velcro strip before you press it down.

They can pull towards a steel frame and hold the seam slightly off centre. Move the screen a centimetre or two off the metal when you fit it and the problem goes away.

It does neither in any real sense. Dark mesh cuts a little glare and makes it harder to see in from bright daylight, but treat that as a side effect rather than a feature.

Yes. Internal doorways, pantries and rooms that open onto a kitchen are all fine, and the fitting is the same. Nothing about it needs to face outside.

A small nick in the mesh can be closed with a screen repair patch from any hardware shop. A tear through the seam where the magnets are sewn in is not worth patching, so get in touch.

Contact us with your order number and we will sort it. Faults on these are almost always the seam or a magnet, and both show up in the first few weeks if they are going to.

Yes, unused and in its packaging, under the returns policy on this site. Measuring the frame and adding the 2cm allowances first saves everybody the trip.
