Hinged Fly Screen for Single Doors - Commercial (DIY Kit)

How to measure:

For this kit please measure the height and width as per the diagram. These measurements relate to the “open space” i.e. the space created once the door is open.

As long as the width and height of your door opening are within the measurements specified for a kit, that kit will be the correct kit for you e.g. if the width of your door opening is 860mm and the height is 1990mm then the smaller kit (900mm x 2000mm) is the kit you require.

Please note: 

The screen frame is 40mm wide and is designed to be placed directly onto your door frame.The hinge and magnetic catch fixings sit to the side of the screen and will require additional space.

For example, on one side of your door frame you would require 40mm for the frame + 15mm for the hinge (a total of 55mm) and on the other 40mm for the frame + 10mm for magnetic catch (a total of 50mm). If you are limited for space, the screen size can be reduced by as much as 30mm each side.

If your door handle protrudes beyond the face of your door frame (i.e. the frame you will be fitting the screen to) when the door is closed, this may prevent you from fully closing the screen.

Solutions are:

1. If the screen is fitted to the inside of the property leave it partly open or lift it off the hinges (the hinges are designed so the screen can be easily removed when required)
2. Fit the screen to the surrounding wall i.e. beyond the reach of the handle so that it closes fully. This may not always be desireable or possible if the surrounding surfaces are not flat or far enough forward.
3. Fit a secondary frame (we can provide uPVC framework - see linked products) that finishes beyond the door handle and fit your screen to that frame. We can explain this in more detail if you wish to discuss further.

Which mesh do I need ?

We offer two types of mesh with this screen. Your choice will depend on which insects you wish to keep out and the type of use. Both meshes are fully compliant with food safety regulations.

Standard insect mesh - 18 x 16 holes per square inch

Examples of insects this mesh will keep out:Bees & Wasps, Bluebottles, Cluster Flies, Crane Flies, Daddy-Long-Legs, House Flies, Hornets, Ladybirds, Mosquitoes, Moths, Butterflies and Spiders.Standard insect mesh is designed and manufactured to ensure maximum visibility (through the screen) ensuring as much light passes into the room as possible.

We recommend this mesh for all areas of the UK except in parts of Scotland where Midges are present and other parts of the UK where Corn Flies and Thunder Bugs/Thrips are present.

Midge mesh - 30 x 20 holes per square inch

This mesh will keep out:The same as Standard insect mesh + Midges, Corn Flies and Thunder Bugs/Thrips

Midge mesh has a tighter weave than Standard insect mesh to ensure Midges, Corn Flies and Thunder Bugs/Thrips cannot penetrate, however the visibility and airflow is reduced slightly.

We recommend this mesh in parts of Scotland where Midges are present and other parts of the UK where Corn Flies and Thunder Bugs/Thrips are present.Please note - genuine Midge mesh is 30 x 20 - anything less e.g. 20 x 20 or 18 x 16 will not keep midges out.

Stainless steel insect mesh - 18 x 14 holes per square inch

Examples of insects this mesh will keep out:

• Bees & Wasps, Bluebottles, Cluster Fies, Crane Flies, Daddy-Long-Legs, House Flies, Hornets, Ladybirds, Mosquitoes, Moths, Butterflies and Spiders.

Stainless steel insect mesh is highly durable and long lasting which makes it ideal for demanding commercial environments. This mesh is fully compliant with food safety regulations.

We recommend this mesh for screens in commercial kitchens, where regular screen cleaning is required and routine use may result in damage to a standard mesh.
