A Magnetic Mesh Screen is great at excluding unwanted bugs while still allowing fresh air into your home. With its user-friendliness and effective design, it’s no wonder why more homeowners have been adopting this popular trend lately. To make sure that your magnetic screens from Fly Mesh Systems provide long-term protection, you will want to know how to install and maintain it properly.
Installing Mesh Screens
- Gather Your Materials: Before you start, ensure everything is prepared, for example your mesh screen, adhesive strips if the product features them, scissors and a clean cloth for preparing the surfaces. You do not have to do it individually since a professional can install it for you.
- Prepare the Window Frame: Professionals clean up the window frame so that all the dust, grease, or residues stick to it. The clear surface will ensure the adhesive sticks properly-this is critical for any installation. It is now time to let the frame dry completely.
- Measure and Cut: If your mesh screen is not pre-cut, you can then determine the size of your window frame, cut out the size on your mesh screen, and be very careful to have a little bit of extra material.
- Apply the Adhesive Strips: If your sash has adhesive strips on the screen itself, peel them off and apply them along the sides of the window frame. Press on to ensure they stick well. For best results let the adhesive set a minute or two before moving to the next step.
- Attach the Mesh Screen: Locate the mesh screen such that it is aligned closely to the adhesive strips, so that the screen is held snugly within the frame. Be certain to press the screen onto the adhesive, eliminating as many bubbles and wrinkles as possible.
- Check for Gaps: Check the mesh installation and ensure that it doesn’t have gaps or loose areas after installation. Tighten the tight seals so insects cannot invade, yet easy access to fresh air is allowed.
Maintaining Your Mesh Screens
- Regular Cleaning: For a longer life of your mesh screens, always clean them regularly using a soft cloth or a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment. If there are stubborn stains, a mild soap solution may be used; never harsh chemicals that could damage the mesh.
- Inspect for Damage: Sometimes inspect your screens for damage and wear. Inspect for tears, frayed edges, and problems with the magnetic seals. Address any damage immediately to prevent further degradation.
- Storage During Off-Season: If you live in an area where screens are not needed throughout the year, it would be best for you to remove them when it is off-season. Store them in a cool and dry area to prevent damaging them from extreme temperature and moisture.
- Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: For specific maintenance tips and cleaning instructions, it is always best to refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines. The benefits from Fly Mesh Systems’ products include best international quality with a 5-year warranty.
Proper installation and maintenance will keep your mesh screens usable for many years while providing efficient insect protection that lets fresh air circulate through your home.
