Velcro Window Screen | Adjustable Window Screen | Midge And Pet Mesh Screens

It covers an opening up to 100 cm wide and 100 cm tall, so it is the best velcro window screen for a standard single window in the range. Order the size above your opening and trim it down, because the screen cuts but it won't stretch.

Hook-and-loop tape goes around the window frame and the screen has a matching velcro edge. You press it on. No frame to build, no drilling, no tools.

This is the cheaper of the two. The velcro screen is a flexible edged panel that presses onto tape. The magnetic version runs on a slim PVC frame with a magnetic strip and lifts off with a finger tab, which is tidier but costs more.

The frame. The tape sticks to the flat face of the frame around the opening, so that face is what the screen has to cover.

Yes. Cut the screen to your window with a blade or a strong pair of scissors. No tradesman tools are needed.

Ask before you order. These come in set sizes and are also made to order, so an oversized window is a quote.

It still works. You cut each screen to the window in front of you, so an out-of-square opening in an older house is no harder than a straight one.

Inside, on the interior face of the frame. That keeps the tape out of the weather and means you never need a ladder.

Yes. The tape holds on timber as long as the surface is clean, dry and not flaking.

Yes. It suits all common window types and frame materials.

It's made to come away cleanly. Take it slowly and the frame finish stays intact.

Yes. Nothing is drilled and nothing is permanent, so it is the best DIY insect screen for renters in the range and it comes off when you move out.

White edge and black edge, at the same price. White disappears against uPVC, black suits dark or aluminium frames.

No. Both are the same screen and the same money. Pick on looks.

Three. Standard grey at 18 x 16, midge black at 20 x 20, and pet mesh at 10 x 16 for claws. This one is Standard Mesh (Grey).

Standard grey mesh is the one most people want. The weave is open enough that you barely notice it from inside, and it still stops everything that normally gets in through an open window.

Fibreglass, woven from glass yarn and coated in vinyl, so it won't rust, corrode or stain and it stays flexible.

No. This weave stops flies, mosquitoes and wasps. For midges and the smaller biting insects, take the midge mesh option instead.

Not for long. A cat will go through standard or midge mesh. Choose the pet mesh option, or look at the cat-proof window screen.

No. Fibreglass screening is non-combustible.

You see through it. This one is grey, with 66% open area. Dark mesh is easier to see through than pale mesh, because your eye focuses past it.

No. Air moves through it freely. Leaving the window open without letting insects in is the whole point.

Peel a corner or an edge back off the tape, open the window, and press it down again. It's a bit more hands-on than the magnetic version, which is the trade-off for the lower price.

Around fifteen minutes for the first one, less after that. Measure, tape, cut, press.

Yes. Peel it off, keep it flat, and put it back up in spring.

Take it off and wash it in warm soapy water, then let it dry fully before it goes back on. Keep the tape clear of dust so it keeps gripping.

It holds through a season easily. If a strip does give up after a few years, replace that length of tape rather than the whole screen.

Yes, and people do. Buy the large size, cut it into the panels you need, and pick up extra tape if you run short.

Yes. Replacement mesh is listed on its own in all three grades if you only need to re-skin a screen you already have.

If you open that window every day, yes, because the magnetic one lifts off with a finger tab. For a window you rarely open, the velcro screen does the same job for less.
