Magnetic fly screens have a flexible edge to peel back a corner and pass through objects for simple convenience and ease.
We tested the magnetic screen doors according to an established rubric that included material type, installation, performance, and durability criteria. My only issue to date is that the thumb tacks included with the insect screen door has started to loosen from the door molding, I am thinking it is because the door moulding itself is not that great. The Bob Vila team distills need-to-know information into project tutorials, maintenance guides, tool 101s, and more.While this addition does require regular dusting and washing, magnetic screen doors are otherwise low-maintenance and really allow you to enjoy pleasant weather without the bane of bugs. Finally a magnetic insect screen door with durable heavy duty magnets and a superior fibreglass mesh curtain which lets you enjoy the breeze (insect free) in your house whilst leaving doors open.
Although this screen is made from polyester mesh, it’s thinner than the others we tested, and it doesn’t seem likely to hold up to a high amount of animal and people traffic. Fiberglass and polyester are the main materials used to create the mesh on magnetic screen doors, but ABS plastic can be used for enhanced durability on specially made magnetic screen doors for pets.
Really love the end result and the reason for the reason that it didn’t quite make the 5* rating is that it would have been perfect if the magnetic strip had been white to match the uPVC. Some manufacturers use reinforcing thumbtacks on the doorframe to increase the strength of the installation. Magnetic Insect Screens guarantee only the best quality raw materials go into the custom manufacture of our DIY flyscreens. Compare this width-by-height measurement to common screen door sizes to find the appropriate magnetic mesh door for your home.

The included installation instructions were minimal, but there is an installation video on the seller’s site.The screen is heavier than the double-door polyester screens we tested, which helps keep it in place on windy days and enables it to withstand busy foot traffic. They’re less expensive than double-door products because they’re smaller, but they cannot be used to fill double-door spaces. It’s heavily weighted at the bottom and features a tension rod installation system, making it easy to install. The 38-by-83-inch screen is installed with adhesives, but thumbtacks are included for added strength. The 36-by-98-inch screen door opens with a push to let people and pets go in and out freely, while the weight of strong magnets sewn into the screen edging pulls the two sides back into place.
I bought several insect screens so we can have the windows open for fresh air without lots of insects as the large trees outside had a lot of bugs, now we have no worries and no bites, they were easy to put together and durable, cheers! In fact, I bought a second one because it not only keeps the cat in when it’s hot and I want air through the house, it keeps nasty spiders out. Magnetic Insect Screen helps protect against bugs and insects while continuing to let fresh air flow through. Magnetic screen doors can come with multiple types of fasteners to hold the door closed and to keep the door installed in its location. Unlike conventional hinged screen doors or sliding screen doors, magnetic screen doors generally come as two mesh panels that attach to the frame of the doorway using adhesives, Velcro, thumbtacks, or other fasteners.Your screens are very easy to install and also are doing a great job letting air in but keeping insects out and keeping pets in at night! Having rented in a home with only casement windows (windows with mounted cranks) for close to 10 years, I have always been constantly frustrated with being unable to open the windows without the fear of insects invading the house. As the host of beloved and groundbreaking TV series including “This Old House” and “Bob Vila’s Home Again,” he popularized and became synonymous with “do-it-yourself” home improvement. It was a cinch to install, and the durable fiberglass mesh held up to some light stretching and traffic.
