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

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

The width of the screen frame that sits against your window frame is 19mm. It's not essential for the screen frame to fully overlap your window frame, but you should note that the hinge fixings and turn buttons sit to the side of the screen, so an allowance needs to be made for them. Please see dimensions below.

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.  A handle is provided to assist with opening and closing the screen.

You will require 13mm of flat window frame space next to your screen to fit the hinges on one side and 8mm to fit the turn buttons on the other side.  You will also require a 10mm allowance so that you can lift your screen off the hinges.

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 is 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.  As the strips are positioned within the width of the screen frame you don't need to make an allowance for this fitting. 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.  You will require 8mm of flat frame space next to each side of your screen to fit the turn buttons.

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.
