Shipping & returns

Delivery across USA within 7 working days of dispatch. It is free on orders of $60 or more, and a flat $22 below that.

You may request a voluntary return within 15 days from purchase. Contact us before returning goods. The conditions, handling deductions and postage obligations in our returns policy apply; remedies required by law remain protected.

A screen cut to your own measurements is made to your specification, so regulation 13(1)(c) removes the cancellation right once we have started making it. A standard size you cut down yourself at home keeps the full right until you cut it.

If it arrives faulty, damaged or not as described we put it right at no cost to you, return postage included, under the Consumer Rights Act 2022.

Got questions?

Frequently asked

How is it sold?

By the metre.

How much do I need?

The perimeter of the window: twice the width plus twice the height. Add a little spare.

Can you give me an example?

A 100 cm by 150 cm window needs 5 metres, so order a bit over that.

Do I measure the area or the perimeter?

The perimeter. The strip runs around the edge of the opening, not across it.

What is it for?

It's the fixing that holds a magnetic window screen onto the window frame.

How many strips do I get per metre?

Two. Both the strip secured to the frame and the self-adhesive strip that mates with it are provided when you order, so a metre is a metre of finished fixing rather than a metre of one half of it.

Is it self-adhesive?

One of the two strips is. That is the one that goes onto the window frame.

Do I need to prepare the surface?

Wipe it clean and let it dry. The adhesive gets one attempt, so a dusty or damp frame is the usual reason a strip lifts later.

Will it stick to wood?

Yes, as long as the surface is clean, dry and not flaking.

Will it stick to uPVC and aluminium?

Yes. Those are the easiest surfaces for it.

Will it damage the frame?

It lifts away without pulling the finish with it. That is the whole reason these screens work in rented homes.

Can I use it in a rental?

Yes. Nothing is drilled and nothing is permanent.

How do I cut it?

Scissors.

How do I fit it?

Wipe the frame, peel the backing as you go, and press the strip down along its whole length rather than just at the ends.

Should I do the corners in one piece or separate lengths?

Separate lengths per side is easier and neater than trying to bend a single run around a corner.

Can I reposition it?

Lift it gently and re-press it if you catch it immediately. Once the adhesive has settled, treat the position as final.

Why buy it separately?

To build a screen from parts, to repair a run that has lifted, or to extend an existing screen.

Does it come with the screens?

The made-up magnetic screens include what they need. This is for building, repairing or extending.

My strip has come away in one corner. Do I replace all of it?

No. Replace that run. Cut a fresh length, clean the frame properly this time, and press it down.

Why did it come away?

Almost always a surface that was not clean or dry when it went on, or a strip pressed at the ends rather than along its length.

Will it lose its magnetism?

Magnetic strip does not wear out with use. What fails is the adhesive bond to the frame, which is why surface prep matters.

Can I use it on a door screen?

The magnetic screen doors use a stitched velcro strip instead. This is for window screens.

Does it work with any screen?

It works with the magnetic screens in this range. A velcro screen needs hook-and-loop tape rather than magnetic strip.

What else do I need to build a screen?

PVC frame by the metre, a corner set, mesh, and this strip.

Does it come with mesh?

No. Mesh is sold separately in three grades.

Will it rust?

Keep it dry and it is fine. It sits on the interior face of the window, out of the weather.

How do I clean it?

Wipe it with a dry cloth. Keep grit off the face so the screen keeps sitting flush.

Why does grit matter?

Anything on the face holds the screen a fraction off the strip, and that fraction is a gap running the length of the window.

Can I paint over it?

No. Painting the face would stop the screen sitting against it.

Should I order extra?

Yes, a metre or so. Corners and a mis-cut eat more than people expect.
