Window Pet Screen - Framed (Made-to-Measure)

Print this page

Instructions below describe how to measure for both a standard casement and a traditional sliding sash window.

Use the drawings to give you the measurements for the width and height dimensions in the ‘get price’ tab:

• Width = measurement A
• Height = measurement B

Please ensure your measurements are entered in millimetres (mm),

Once you’ve placed your order we will contact you for measurements C, D, E & F before proceeding with the manufacture of your screen,

Please, also check your window carefully for any obstructions that need consideration when fitting your screen. These include….

• Trickle vent present on the flat framework around your opening.
• Locking wedge present on the flat framework where your handle locks the window shut.
• Rod and stay (A rod with holes in it and peg that enables you to keep the window open at certain position)
• Tiles that finish halfway up the reveal obstructing the flat framework

If any of the above are present, please let us know, as alternative dimensions may be required.

Standard Casement Window – side or top opener

Sash Window - fitted to full sash

Fitted Externally so the screen can be left in place without interfering with the opening and closing of the window or fitted internally

Sash Window - fitted to top or bottom sash

Fitted Internally to the lower or upper sash – Use the same principle for measuring either of the sashes

* The height of the screen can be the full height of the opening sash or the height to which you normally open your sash.

Depending on the style of your sash there may be a gap between frame D and the screen.  This can be filled with UPVC trim, batten, adhesive pile seal or similar. Let us know if you need advice.

Fixings

Lift on/off hinges with turn buttons

This fixing consists of a 2 part hinge, one part fixes to the edge of the screen and the other to your window frame. Both are screwed in position. The two hinge parts are connected with a pin which allows you to lift the screen off the hinge for cleaning or storage. The screen is held closed with turn buttons as shown in the second image below. The button is turned through 90 degrees to lock/release the screen.

Please note: If your window handle protrudes past the framework when the window is closed just allow the screen to rest against the handle when not in use.  Once your window is open you will be able to close the screen flat against the window frame.

Magnetic strips

No drilling or screwing required for this magnetic option. It consists of two, 13mm wide, self-adhesive magnetic strips, one adheres to your window frame, the other adheres to the back of the screen.  The strip that adheres to your window frame is colour matched to blend in as much as possible. White for white frames and dark grey for brown or anthracite frames.

Please note: Your window handle may protrude past the framework when your window is closed.  If this is the case you can remove the screen when the window is shut.

Turn Buttons

The screen is held closed with 'turn buttons' screwed into your framework to the side of the screen. The button turns through 90 degrees to lock/release the screen.

Please note: Your window handle may protrude past the framework when your window is closed.  If this is the case you can remove the screen when the window is shut.
