Magnetic Screen Door

Fifteen sizes, from 60cm x 210cm for a narrow side entrance up to 180cm x 240cm for a wide patio door. Measure the frame rather than the door leaf, then pick your size above.

The magnetic seam runs the full height of the screen, so it opens as you walk through and pulls itself shut the moment you're past.

Choose black, brown or white. The colour doesn't change the price, and the right one more or less disappears against your frame.

Midge mesh keeps flies, mosquitoes, wasps and midges out while the breeze still gets through, and you can see the garden.

A stitched velcro strip presses onto the door frame in a few minutes. Nothing is drilled, so it suits rentals, and it folds up for winter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes does the magnetic screen door come in?

Fifteen of them. Widths go from 60cm to 180cm, each in a 210cm or a 240cm height, so a narrow side entrance and a wide patio slider are both covered. Measure the frame opening, not the door leaf. If your frame falls between two sizes, take the larger one, because the mesh can overlap the edge but it can't stretch.

How do I measure for a magnetic screen door?

Measure the width across the door frame and the height from the sill to the top of the frame. The screen fixes around the opening, so the frame measurement is the one that matters.

Does it really close on its own?

Yes. The magnets run the full height of the centre seam, so once you're through, the two halves pull back together from top to bottom. No latch to catch and nothing to pull shut behind you.

Does the colour change the price?

No. Black, brown and white all cost the same. Pick the one that matches your frame. Black gives the clearest view out, brown suits timber and white suits uPVC.

Will it work on a sliding or patio door?

Yes. Fit it to the frame surround and pick the size that matches your opening. Patio doors are usually the wider end of the range, so look at the 160cm and 180cm widths.

Do I need to drill anything?

No. A velcro strip stitched to the screen presses onto the door frame, and that is the whole fixing. No tools, which is why it is fine for rented homes, and it comes off cleanly at the end of summer.

Can pets get through it?

Cats and dogs usually learn to push through the magnetic seam within a day, which is what most owners want. If a pet is rough with mesh, look at the heavier pet-grade screens instead.

Does the mesh block the breeze?

No. It's fine enough to stop flies and mosquitoes but open enough to let air move through, which is the whole point of fitting one in summer.

Do I add anything to my measurements?

Yes, and people miss this. Allow 2 cm at the top and 2 cm on each side for the velcro strip that is stitched to the screen. Every size in the range already accounts for a frame of that opening.

How many magnets are in the seam?

Up to 40, sewn into the fabric down the full height of the centre. Cheap supermarket screens run 26 or fewer, which is why their seams gape in the middle.

What mesh is it?

Midge mesh at 15 x 17 density. It is a step up from the thin nylon used on budget screens: it holds its shape, resists chemical corrosion and does not crease.

Will it keep midges out as well as flies?

Yes. The mesh is the upgraded midge grade, so it stops midges and the smaller biting insects along with flies, mosquitoes and wasps.

What tools do I need to fit it?

None. The velcro strip is stitched on and presses onto the door frame. No drill, no screws, nothing to hire.

Will it damage my door frame?

No. Nothing is drilled and nothing is screwed, so the frame is untouched. That is the reason it works in a rental.

Can I take it down and put it back up?

Yes. It comes off the frame, folds up small for storage, and goes back on next spring. Plenty of people run them seasonally.

Will it fit a sliding or patio door?

Yes, if the opening matches. Measure the frame across and up, then take the size that your opening comes to. Sliding and patio doors usually land at the wider end, so check the 160cm and 180cm widths.

Will it fit a caravan or a motorhome?

Yes. It suits single doors, sliding doors, caravans and RVs, as long as you have a flat frame face for the velcro to press onto.

Can children walk through it on their own?

Yes, easily. That is really the point. The seam parts as they walk into it and the magnets pull it shut behind them, so there is no handle to reach and nothing to leave propped open.

Will my dog learn to use it?

Most dogs work it out in a day, and cats usually faster. If a pet is hard on mesh, look at a pet-grade screen instead.

Does it close on its own every time?

That is what the heavy black magnets are for. The seam pulls together from top to bottom rather than just in the middle, so it closes the same way on the hundredth pass as the first.

Can I see out through it?

Yes. The mesh lets light and air in and you can see the garden through it. From outside, in daylight, it reads as a dark doorway rather than a curtain.

Does it block the breeze?

No. Air moves through it freely. Leaving the door open on a warm evening without letting insects in is the whole reason to fit one.

How do I clean it?

Take it off the frame and wash it in warm soapy water, then hang it to dry before you put it back. It is easy to clean and it does not hold crease marks.

How do I open the package?

Carefully, and not with scissors or a blade. The mesh is folded inside the bag and a sharp tool can nick it. Open the bag by hand.

What if my doorway is between two sizes?

Go up, not down. Mesh will happily overlap a frame edge. It will not stretch to cover a gap, and a gap is exactly where insects get in.

What if my doorway is bigger than the largest size?

Ask before you order. These are made in set sizes and also made to order, so an unusual opening is a quote rather than a dead end.

Will it blow about in the wind?

In a strong gust it will move, the same as any curtain screen. The magnets bring it back together as soon as the gust passes.

Does the colour affect how well it works?

No. Black, brown and white are the same screen and the same price. Black gives the clearest view out because dark mesh is easier for your eye to see past.

How long does it take to fit?

Minutes. Line the screen up on the frame, press the velcro strip down from the top, and check the two halves meet cleanly down the middle.

How long will it last?

It is built for a long service life: a sturdier mesh than the cheap nylon versions, corrosion resistant, with the magnets sewn into the fabric rather than glued on.

Bi-fold doors are able to change a drab living space into a spacious and inviting entertainment area that merges the indoors together with the outdoors.

Here is a useful overview we have put together to answer any questions you might have about bi-fold door setups as well as how to screen them.

Before installation

Before choosing your bi-fold doors, you will need to figure out if you have the right space for them. The best way to know for sure would be to speak with a professional, a window and door manufacturer or even an architect could give you the best answer. After checking out your property, they will be able to give you the advice you need about which kind and size of doors can be installed in your particular space.

Although bi-fold doors will normally fit any kind of space or aperture, it’s still better to be certain in order to ensure you get a perfect fit. A professional will also be able to let you know if your renovation will require council approval or not.

How do bi-fold doors work?

Sometimes referred to as “folding sliding doors”, bi-fold doors fold inwards or outwards in order to open up your living space. Bi-fold doors are made of panels that can be folded up and stacked against the wall to make the most out of your living space. Bi-fold doors can be used for both interiors and exteriors.

Interior bi-fold doors, for example, might be used to separate the pantry or the laundry room from the kitchen, whereas exterior bi-fold doors are used to open up a living space onto an outdoor area like a garden or terrace.

Exterior bi-fold doors are also usually glazed and have large glass panels designed to let in plenty of sunlight. These doors use a simple runner system, allowing the doors to slide smoothly aside with the help of small wheels.

The panels of the doors are connected with hinges which are attached to the roller track at the bottom or top of the door. Your bi-fold doors setup can also include a handy traffic door for any more frequent coming in and out of the house.

What are the main advantages?

  • Flexible like no other door
  • Customisable for nearly any situation
  • Available in a variety of materials
  • Easy to install, repair, and clean
  • Very secure, usually having a multiple lock system along different points of the track

What kinds of setups are possible?

There are a variety of different setups for bi-fold doors. For example the specific number of doors and panels and how they open up. The exact configuration can be customised in basically whatever way you need in order to fit your space as well as be convenient or suit your taste.

Choose how many panels you would like, decide whether they should fold inwards or outwards, and figure out the best place to put your lead door, or the panel that will open first and be at the center of the locking system.

Which materials are available?

The most popular materials people usually opt for include timber, aluminum (this one is quite resistant and also easy to maintain), and PVC (which is more energy-efficient than aluminum).

In the end, the kind of material you choose will depend on considerations like what will best suit your home, your aesthetic preferences, and finally energy-efficiency.

How to incorporate door fly screens with your bi-fold doors

Although there seems to be a popular belief that bi-fold doors are not compatible with fly screens, this is simply not true.

It will definitely be possible to find screens to fit your doors no matter how intricate your configuration.

You can even find screens that will slide away into a cartridge at the side of the frame so that you can continue to enjoy your view of the outdoors at times or seasons when the screens are not necessary.

With the arrival of warmer weather, the desire to keep our homes well-ventilated while keeping pesky insects at bay becomes a top priority.
