What is a magnetic fly screen?
A magnetic fly screen is an aluminium-framed mesh panel held over the window by four corner magnets, so it lifts off by hand and clips back on.
A fly screen is brilliant until you need access to the window to clean the glass or close the window; then it just gets in the way.
That’s exactly why we make magnetic fly screens. Four corner magnets hold the screen to your window frame, so it lifts off by hand in seconds and clips straight back on when you need it again. No fuss, and you can do it as many times a day as you like.
We make every screen to measure in our own UK factory and send it pre-cut to your sizes, so all you do is slot the frame together. They’re just as at home in a busy commercial kitchen as they are in a bedroom.
How it works
Each of the four corner pieces has a magnetic plate recessed into it. Matching round magnets screw onto your window frame, or onto the surrounding wall, and the screen simply clips on.
The magnets are strong, so the panel stays put until you want it down. Then it lifts straight off for cleaning the glass or packing away over winter.
The mesh is held in the frame by a rubber gasket, giving a tight seal all the way round. The frame is weatherproof, so it can be fitted inside or outside.
Choose your mesh
Easy View mosquito mesh comes as standard. Upgrade to midge mesh for the smallest flies, pet mesh for households with claws to contend with, or ECARF-certified pollen mesh if you suffer from hay fever. Sunox antibacterial mesh comes as standard too.

Product Construction | |
 | MAGNETIC FLY SCREENSMagnetic fly screens are one of the simplest ways to keep insects out of your windows – easy to fit, easy to take down, and just as at home in a commercial kitchen as a bedroom. Each screen has a robust aluminium frame with four corner magnets hidden inside the recess of the corner sections. These clip onto matching magnets fitted to your window frame, and the mesh is held in the frame by the supplied rubber gasket, giving a tight seal all the way round. |
 | ALUMINIUM FRAMEWe use an extruded 30 mm aluminium section with a 2 mm wall, so the frame is extremely robust, and it’s finished in a scratch-resistant polyester coating that wipes clean easily – especially important in commercial settings. The screens come as self-assembly kits made to your exact dimensions, so there’s no cutting to carry out – they just simply slot together! |
 | CORNER MAGNETSEach of the four corner pieces has a magnetic plate recessed into it. The round magnets screw onto your window frame and the screen panel simply ‘clips’ on. The magnets are extremely strong, so the panel stays safely in place until you want to take it down – handy for cleaning the glass or packing the screens away over winter. |

Mesh Options | |
 |
MESH OPTIONSThere’s a choice of meshes to suit whatever’s bugging you: Easy View mosquito mesh keeps out most flying insects, mosquitoes and spiders (though not midges), with excellent visibility and good airflow to keep your room cool. Midge mesh has a finer weave that keeps out the smaller midges and corn flies as well as the larger flies. Pet mesh keeps out the same insects as the mosquito mesh, but has a stronger weave to help protect against the occasional pet claw swipe. |
 | POLLEN MESHPollen mesh keeps out flies, pollen and other allergens, and it’s certified by the European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF) – invaluable if you suffer from hay fever. It’s a knitted polyester weave of 80 microns with a 0.8 aperture, available in grey. This one comes with a personal guarantee of effectiveness: as a hay fever sufferer myself, I can now sleep with my windows open! – Andy Glover, Premier Screens |
 | SUNOX MESHAll our magnetic window screens now come with Sunox mesh as standard. It’s treated to be antibacterial, so bacteria don’t build up on the mesh itself. |

How Magnetic Compares to Other Window Screens
Magnetic isn’t the only way to screen a window — here’s how it stacks up against the other types we make, so you can check it’s the right fit before you order.
| Screen type | Best for | How it works | Max size | Mesh options | Fitting |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magnetic (this screen) | Seasonal use — easy to take down and store when insects aren’t a problem | A mesh panel held in place by four corner magnets, which are screwed to the window frame | Up to 1,200 mm wide × 1,600 mm high | Standard mosquito, midge, pet and pollen mesh | Magnet mounts to the frame or surrounding wall, inside or outside; screen lifts off by hand |
| Roller | Windows you want to open freely, with the screen disappearing completely when not needed | Mesh is spring-tensioned inside an aluminium cassette; pull the handlebar down to cover the window, release to retract | Up to 1,800 mm of mesh drop from a 40 mm cassette | Easy View standard, midge, toughened pet-resistant, ECARF pollen — Sunox antibacterial as standard | Recess or face-fit; top-hinged Velux windows recess-fit, centre-pivot Velux mount to the wall |
| Hinged panel | A permanent, always-there screen and the lowest-cost option | A rigid mesh panel in an aluminium frame, hung on hinges with turn buttons to hold it shut — opens like a small door | Made to your panel size; self-assembly kit | Black, grey or white standard mesh, plus pet, pollen and midge mesh | Hinged to the window frame or surrounding wall, inside or outside |
| Horizontal sliding | Wide openings too big for a single roller or hinged panel | The opening is split into panels that run side to side on an internal wheel system within a slim 20 x 28 mm frame | Up to 3 m wide, in as many panels as the opening needs | Standard, midge, pet and pollen mesh — Sunox antibacterial as standard | Recess-fits into the window reveal; pre-cut, panels lift out for cleaning |
| Vertical sliding | Sash windows and openings taller than they are wide | Panels slide up and down instead of side to side, held at any height by spring-loaded pads, in the same slim 20 x 28 mm frame | Made to your opening size | Standard, midge, pet and pollen mesh — Sunox antibacterial as standard | Recess-fits into the window reveal; pre-cut kit, or we can build and install it for you |
| Canopy | Openings an internal screen can’t cover — inward-opening windows with no reveal, high-level windows, rooftop vents, or centre-pivot windows | An external steel canopy frame holds a removable mesh panel over the opening from outside | Panels over 1,400 mm wide are supplied as two panels | Standard mesh panel | Pre-cut flat-pack, mild steel frame, assembled and fixed on site |
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a magnetic fly screen attach to the window?
Four individual corner magnets hold the screen to the window frame, so it clips on and off by hand without tools.
Will it block light or my view?
No — the frame and mesh are designed not to obstruct natural light or your view through the window.
Can I remove it easily for cleaning or winter storage?
Yes, that’s the main advantage of the magnetic design — it lifts off in seconds and clips back on the same way.
Can it be fitted outside?
Yes. The frame is weatherproof, so the screen can go inside or outside, fixed to the window frame or the surrounding wall.
Will it keep out midges?
Not with the standard mesh. Easy View mosquito mesh keeps out most flying insects and spiders but not midges. Choose midge mesh, which has a finer weave that stops midges and corn flies too.
Do I need to cut anything?
No. Give us the overall finished panel size and the frame arrives pre-cut to those dimensions, ready to slot together.
