Window Pollen Screen - Framed (DIY Kit to make 2 screens)

Print this page

How to measure:

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

As long as the width and height of your window 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 window opening is 680mm and the height is 360mm then the smallest kit (760mm x 380mm) is the kit you require.

Please note these width and height sizes are interchangeable.

Things to consider when measuring:

1. The screen frame is 19mm wide and is designed to be placed directly onto your window frame.The lift on/off hinge and turn button fixings sit to the side of the screen and will require additional space - 15mm for the hinge and 10mm for the turn button. So, for example, on one side of your window frame you would require 19mm for the frame + 15mm for the hinge (a total of 34mm) and on the other 19mm for the frame + 10mm for the turn button (a total of 29mm). If you are limited for space the size of the screen can be reduced by as much as 10mm.
2. The magnetic fixing is narrower than the width of the screen frame so no additional space is required with this fixing.

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 means you can lift the screen off the hinge for removal and 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.

Magnetic strips

This fixing consists of a magnetic strip (brown) and a stainless steel strip (off white) each with a peelable self adhesive back. For a white framed screen, the brown magnetic strip is fixed to the rear of the screen and the stainless steel strip is fitted to the window frame. This is reversed for a brown framed screen. The combination of the magnet and steel strip holds the screen in place. No drilling or screwing is required for this fixing.

Turn Buttons

The screen is held closed with 'turn buttons' placed on all sides of the screen.The button is turned through 90 degrees to lock/release the screen.
