Comparison
Compared to traditional metal screens, the Fly Screens for Windows stand out with their lightweight and flexible design. Unlike magnetic screens, these come with a notable advantage: they don’t snap shut or leave gaps that clever insects could exploit. While other products may offer intricate installation requirements, this product shines with its user-friendly adhesive system, making it accessible even for those who shy away from DIY projects. Other competitor screens might boast similar features but often fall short on versatility, particularly for windows of non-standard shapes.
User Tips / Usage Guide
- Measure Your Windows: Before installation, ensure you have accurately measured your window sizes. This guarantees a snug fit and maximizes effectiveness.
- Clean the Window Frame: Prior to applying the Velcro tape, clean the window frame to remove dust and debris for optimal adhesion.
- Remove the Backing Slowly: When applying the Velcro, peel the backing little by little to prevent it from sticking to itself.
- Allow Tape to Set: After affixing the tape, let it set for at least an hour before attaching the screen to ensure maximum stickiness.
- Trim Excess: Use a utility knife or scissors to carefully trim the excess screen for a neatly tailored look.
- Regular Maintenance: Periodically clean the screens with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and prolong their life.
- Reuse and Rearrange: The screens can be repositioned. If moving or redecorating, simply remove and reapply them using new tape.
- Store During Off-Seasons: Carefully roll and store the screens during off-seasons to extend their longevity.
