FAQs
How do I ensure the magnetic seal is strong?
Make sure the window frame is clean and perfectly flat where the magnetic strips are applied. Press down firmly along the entire length of the magnetic strips during installation.
Can this screen be used on metal window frames?
Yes, it can be used on metal frames, provided the frame surface is smooth and clean for optimal magnetic adhesion. Additional magnetic strips may be included or recommended for certain frame types.
What is the best way to clean the screen?
The screen can be washed by hand with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry completely before reattaching it to the window.
Is the size truly adjustable to any window?
The size can be adjusted and cut to fit most common window dimensions. For very large or unusually shaped windows, multiple screens or custom solutions might be required.
Will the magnetic strips damage my window frame?
No, the installation is designed to be punch-free and non-damaging. The magnetic strips adhere to the frame without screws or adhesives that could leave marks.
How durable is the encrypted mesh?
The upgraded encrypted mesh is designed for durability and resistance to tears and wear, providing long-term protection against insects.
Can I open and close my window easily with the screen installed?
Yes, the magnetic system allows for easy opening and closing of the window. The screen is designed to move with the window or be temporarily detached if needed.
Troubleshooting
Screen not sealing properly
Ensure the window frame is clean and free of debris. Re-apply the magnetic strips, making sure they are fully adhered and aligned. Check for any obstructions preventing the magnets from connecting.
Mesh is torn or damaged
Carefully inspect the mesh. Minor tears might be repairable with mesh repair tape. For significant damage, replacement of the screen section or the entire unit may be necessary.
Difficulty cutting to size
Use a sharp pair of scissors or a craft knife for a clean cut. Measure carefully before cutting to avoid wasting material.
Magnets losing strength
Ensure no dirt or dust is interfering with the magnetic connection. Re-positioning the magnetic strips might help if they have shifted.
