Self Adhesive Magnetic Strip | Flyscreen Magnetic Tape | Magnetic Strip Per Metre

Both. A magnetic screen needs the strip secured to the frame and the self-adhesive one that mates with it, and the price per metre covers both.

Measure around the perimeter of the opening and add a little for cutting waste and corners. An offcut is better than being half a metre short.

Ordinary scissors. No tools and no blade needed.

No. It sticks down without drilling and lifts away again without leaving a mark, which is why these screens work in rented flats.

Clean, dry, flat window frames in wood, uPVC or aluminium. Clean the surface first, because the adhesive gets one attempt.

Yes. Get the dust and grease off, finish with an alcohol wipe, and let it dry. Almost every strip that lets go later was fitted onto a frame that was not clean.

It does. Work at 18 degrees or warmer in dry air, and warm the frame with a hair dryer first if the room is cold.

Three things: building a screen for an opening no stock size covers, splitting one large screen into several small ones, and repairing a screen that has stopped closing flush.

That is the most common reason people buy it. Cut the large screen down, then run new strip around each of the new panels.

PVC flyscreen frame by the metre, a corner piece set, replacement mesh and this strip. All four are sold separately here.

Usually. A seam that no longer seats flush is almost always tired or dirty strip rather than a failed screen, and replacing the strip is a fraction of the price.

It is sold for window screens. On a door, the magnetic seam is sewn into the screen itself, so this is not the repair part for one.

A continuous run of strip grips along the whole edge rather than at points, which is what stops a gust lifting a corner. Leave no gaps at the corners.

The strip is the functional part rather than the visible one. The visible part is the PVC frame, and that comes in black, brown and white.

Strong enough to hold a cut-to-size window screen flat against a frame through a season, which is what it is specified for.

Magnet attraction on our magnetic screens carries a lifetime warranty, which is the same material question. It is not the part that wears out.

It is meant for the frame, not the glass. Frame is where it holds and where it can be removed cleanly.

No. Paint on a magnetic seam stops it seating flush, which is the one thing it has to do.

Flat or loosely rolled, somewhere dry. Do not leave it creased.

Yes, butt them end to end on the same run. Keep the join away from a corner if you can.

It is sold by the metre, so order the number of metres you need.

People do, for cupboard doors and similar. It is sold and specified as flyscreen strip, so anything else is your own experiment.

Wipe it if it collects dust. Grit in a magnetic seam is the usual reason one stops sitting flush.

Yes, as often as you like. That is what the magnetic seam is for, and the finger tabs on a finished screen are built around it.

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 quote the real number than the optimistic one.

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

No. This is strip only. PVC frame by the metre, corner piece sets and replacement mesh are all sold separately.

Yes, on sound paint that is clean and dry. On flaking paint it will pull the paint rather than hold, so sort the paint first.

It is a slim flexible strip, sized to sit unobtrusively on a window frame. That is the point of it against anything rigid.

Yes. It is stock, so a second order runs with the first.
