Extra Magnetic Strip - Per Metre

It goes on the WINDOW FRAME. The screen carries its own magnetic profile inside the PVC frame, and this is the strip it grips.

By the metre. Order the number of metres the window needs.

Add the four sides of the opening together. A 100 x 100 centimetre window takes 4 metres. Order a little over so a bad cut is not a second order.

Yes, 3M backed self adhesive.

Ferromagnetic rubber. It keeps its magnetism and its shape under normal household conditions.

It is a permanent magnet, not a battery. Under normal use in a home it keeps its pull.

Scissors. Cut it to length on the spot.

Clean the window frame first, peel the backing and press the strip on firmly along its whole length. Work one side at a time and butt the corners rather than overlapping them.

Adhesive sticks to whatever is on the surface. On dust, it lets go halfway through summer. Methylated spirits and a dry cloth is enough.

It is designed to come away again. Peel it slowly and warm it first in cold weather. On new paint, let the paint cure fully before fitting.

Usually not. The adhesive is a one time bond, and a re-used strip is the usual reason a screen starts falling off.

Yes, to clean, sound timber. A rough or flaking surface is the problem, not the material.

Yes. Those are the commonest window frames it goes onto.

Yes. Replacing a tired strip is practical fix there is, and it is the most common repair on a magnetic screen.

It is the magnet strip, so colour matching is done by the PVC frame rather than by the strip.

Yes, the same ferromagnetic rubber strip with the same 3M backed adhesive.

People do. It is a magnetic strip with adhesive on it, and what it is sold for here is holding a window screen on.

No. That screen is held by hook and loop tape, not by magnets.

No. The strip is cut and butted at the corners. Corner pieces belong to the PVC frame.

It is a slim rubber strip. The whole system installs on about 10 millimetres of depth, which is what lets a blind run in front of it.

No. Paint between the two magnets weakens the hold.

No. It needs a flat surface on the window frame to stick to, not mesh.

It is sold in whole metres. Round up.

It is made for a window frame and everyday weather, which is exactly where the screens use it.
