Frequently Asked Questions
Velcro Window Insect Screens
Can I try out the insect screens one window at a time?
Answer: Absolutely!
In fact, we encourage you to do so. We know that when you try out the effectiveness of our screens by buying only 1-2 units for those windows where mosquitoes (and other insects) enter your house - you will absolutley love them and will want to install these screens on every window.
What is the screen made of?
Answer: The screen is made of durable and quality materials, that are hardly visible (aesthetics), that do not rust or shrink and are washable.
It comprises of:-
Flyscreen Mesh
The fly screen mesh is Phiferglass, standard 18 X 16 (thread count per square inch) mesh insect screening, and is woven from permanent glass yarn, coated with a protective vinyl to ensure lasting beauty, color and flexibility. It is produced under the most exacting conditions to meet extremely rigid specifications. Phiferglass is noncombustible and will not rust, corrode or stain. Dark Phiferglass screens offer the best outward visibility of the product line.
Flyscreen Frame
The frame is made from fabric 25mm wide
Velcro Strip Adhesive
To attach to your window frame - a self adhesive velcro tape roll is supplied.
Is it easy to install?
Yes, it is.
There is no need for any tradesman equipment or tools. Every boxed set of velcro insect screens comes with detailed instructions that you can easily follow.
It should take about 10-15mins to set up each screen.
First timers may take a little longer to measure, cut, assemble the flyscreen and then install onto the frame. But rest assured that with some practice and confidence, following installations will take much less time to complete.
We do recommend you spend considerable time ensuring your existing window (frame area) is free of dust & oil. This will ensure that the self adhesive velcro strip secures to your window frame well which will in turn keep the flyscreen firmly attached.
For ease of setup, use a good and clear working floor space where you can easily lay down the flyscreen frame as you do the set up.
Do you provide an installation service?
The DIY kit for our screens is extremely easy-to-install.With that said we do understand that some people prefer to engage hassle-free installation service.
We recommend a great online service called Airtasker. Simply order your screens online here and when they arrive co-ordinate a local handyman from Airtasker to come and fit them for you.
Is the size of the screens fixed? I only see set sizes on your website
Our velcro insect screens can be easily customised (ie cut to fit any window size), at the time of installation.
The custom fitting of the screen to your specific window is done when installing by cutting the Fabric frame to a size to fit your window.
We recommend you buy a one of the screen sizes slightly larger than the window you wish to install it on - so you can cut the frame to size.
To help you save money & to minimize waste, we provide set standard sizes that you can buy , which match closely average window sizes across the globe.
You can also request a custom size by visiting:-https://simplescreen.store/quote/custom-velcro-window-screens
Will it fit my window?
Answer: YES.... These screens can be fitted on any window frame.
It is suitable for most window types: sliding, push-out casement, louvres.
The screen affixes to your window frame using a strong self adhesive velcro strip. This adhesive can attach to all types of surfaces, including: aluminum alloy, PVC, plastic, wood, steel etc
How do I measure me window so I know the size of flyscreen is best for my window?
The idea is that you measure your existing window using the method shown and then choose the next closest size to buy. For example, if your window size is 112cm x 95cm, choose 150cm x 100cm
What colour is the flyscreen mesh?
Standard Screen: grey mesh
Midge Mesh: black mesh
Pet Mesh: black mesh
Whilst the mesh is a darker colour .... they are completely see through and does not interrupt the natural flow of light coming through your window.
Will the velcro strip be effective over long periods time?
The self adhesive velcro strip will not lose its effectiveness and shape under normal home use conditions.
The adhesives used to stick the velcro strip to the window frame is from a the leading 3M company.
How long will the screen last?
Our screens are designed for normal household use; lifespan depends on use and care.
If for any reasons any of the other parts faulter (eg. mesh is torn), you can easily buy a replacement part from us without having to fully replace the window screen.
We have readily available accessories for all of our screens which allow you to make minor repairs easily when/if required.
Will ventilation of brightness of my house be affected by the screens?
No it will not
The window mesh appears invisible from any distance further than a few feet.
This is the primary reason we do not make the mesh out of other colours (example: white, green).
If you allow the window mesh to become very dusty (after a few months of use), you will see a film of on it.
To return it back to its original (new looking) condition , simply remove the screen and wash it (see how to wash your screen tip in this set of FAQ's)
For ventilation of your space, normal airflow is not affected by the newly installed screens and air will be able to move freely in and out of your house.
In fact, this is the one of the main reasons why our customers install our screens: in an effort to keep the windows open (allowing airflow) while keeping the mosquitoes, lizards, flying cockroaches and other creepy crawlies out.
Can I make multiple screens from x1 big screen?
Yes
Is your screen better than the cheaper velcro versions?
Answer: Hell yeah - please do not even compare our screen to those cheap nasty looking velcro versions you get on Amazon or Ebay
You have probably heard the saying "you get what you pay for". This applies if ever you decide to purchase a cheap velcro flyscreen.
A number of our customers have commented to us that they initially purchased the cheap velcro-based insect screens.
Here is some of the things they said about velcro based window screens......
- "An absolute waste of money. Came with no real directions, and the weird knobby "tape" stopped sticking after 24 hours! A useless product. Too bad I got so mad about it not working that I threw it away, now I can't return it :( "
- The adhesive on the Velcro would not stick to the window frame. We bought it for three windows, two of which were in the sun and one that is in constant shade. It was obvious that the adhesive on the ones in the sun was melting and would not stick. The one in the shade lasted a little while longer and then fell off also. I might mention that we live in Texas and the high is often 90 degrees or above.
- It is basically a piece of mesh fabric you can get from a fabric store for Halloween costume and a roll of double sided tape - all shipped all the way from China which you can easily buy from a store
- The product did not do what it was advertised for.. the fabric pulled away every time the wind blew. Need to improve the anchoring system..
How do I clean the screen?
Cleaning is very easy and simple.
It is an idea to wash your new window screen once every 1-2 months or even more if you find the mesh is dusty..
The way to clean your screen is by placing your screen against the wall or even hang it on a clothesline, and simply hose it down with water.
Alternatively, you can use a soft sponge or cloth, with some gentle detergent.
After washing simply let the screen drip dry.
General cleaning of your Velcro Window screen will not affect the velcro strips.
Some of our customers also like to quickly vacuum the screen while it is still on the window. This works well also!
Can I use the window screen to keep my cat safe at home?
Yes you can!
In fact many of our customers install these screens to keep their cats safe.
For this purpose, they only install the mesh on those windows where their cats like to look at. This is a very cost effective way of using our window mesh.
Our customers who adopted their cats from the various shelters confirm that our window screen mesh is accepted by their fosterers.
Our screens are ideal for those owners who need to keep their cat safe in highrise buildings & condo's.
