FAQs
Can this screen be used on an outward-opening casement window?
Yes, it can be adapted for outward-opening casement windows by ensuring the magnetic strips and mesh are applied to the interior frame or where they can create a seal when the window is closed.
How do I clean the mesh if it gets dirty?
You can detach the mesh and wash it gently with mild soap and water. Rinse and allow it to air dry completely before reattaching it to the frame.
What should I do if the screen doesn't fit my window exactly?
Larger sizes can be cut down using sharp scissors or a craft knife to fit smaller windows. Ensure you measure accurately before cutting.
Will the magnetic seal work on painted wooden frames?
The magnetic seal works best on smooth, clean surfaces. If your wooden frame is painted, ensure the paint is smooth and dry. For very rough or uneven surfaces, adhesion might be reduced.
How durable is the mesh material?
The screen features an updated density net with 20*20 mesh, designed for good light transmission and tear resistance, making it durable for regular use.
Can I reuse this screen multiple times?
Yes, the screen is designed for repeated use and can be easily disassembled and reassembled for cleaning or moving between windows.
What accessories are included with the screen?
The pack typically includes 1 roll of magnetic strip, 1 roll of PVC decorative strip, 1 piece of mesh net, and a pack of accessories like 4 corners and 2 clips.
Troubleshooting
Screen is not sealing properly
Ensure the magnetic and groove strips are clean and free of debris. Check that the window frame is clean and dry. Verify that the magnetic strip is positioned correctly on the frame's groove.
Mesh net is sagging or loose
Re-tension the mesh net and ensure it is securely attached to the PVC decorative strip. Use the provided clips to reinforce the corners and edges if necessary.
Difficulty cutting the mesh to size
Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for a clean cut. Measure twice and cut once to ensure accuracy. For larger sizes, a cutting mat can be helpful.
Magnetic strip not adhering firmly
Ensure the window frame surface is clean, smooth, and dry. If the frame is textured or painted, consider using a stronger adhesive or a primer on the frame before applying the magnetic strip.
