Fillis Magnetic Fly Screen Door 90x200cm with Full Frame Hook – fiberglass mesh insect screen
Product description
The essentials
If you’re trying to keep mosquitoes and other insects out without giving up airflow, a magnetic fly screen door like this Fillis model is a practical idea. It’s designed as a curtain-style screen that closes behind you, so you don’t have to hold it open while coming and going.
On paper, the selling points are straightforward: it uses fibreglass mesh, it’s washable, and the magnets are intended to seal quickly. It also aims to be low-fuss to fit, relying on magic tape plus counterweight strips rather than tools.
That said, it’s not the sort of product you can ignore the measurements on. Because it’s size-specific and the fit depends on your door frame, you’ll want to be deliberate before ordering.
Key takeaways
This is a magnetic fly screen door curtain for keeping bugs out while letting air in. The mesh is described as durable and weatherproof, with a heat-resistant, scratch-proof fibreglass construction. For day-to-day use, the self-sealing magnets are meant to be more convenient than a basic flap screen, especially when your hands are full.
The installation approach is also a core part of what you’re buying: strong wide magic tape is used to secure the screen, and the bottom counterweight strips are intended to help with wind resistance so the curtain sits more consistently.
What to consider before you buy
The biggest practical question is whether the size will actually work for your specific doorway. The listing stresses measuring your outer and inner door frame size carefully before purchasing. After it arrives, you’re also advised to compare it to your door first to confirm the fit.
A useful rule of thumb mentioned is suitability when the screen is equal to, or a little larger than, the minimum door frame size. If your measurements are tight or your frame shape isn’t quite standard, you may find it easier to rethink the order rather than trying to force a poor fit.
Also, there’s a limitation worth flagging: even with wind resistance features, a curtain-style screen will never feel exactly like a rigid, fully sealed door. If you’re dealing with very strong draughts, you may need to adjust expectations.
What you’ll notice day to day
The magnetic closure is the moment-to-moment feature. The door curtain has “more magnets than regular ones” (as described), which should help it close faster when you enter and exit. In real use, that usually means less fiddling and more natural movement—especially when carrying shopping bags or pushing a pram through.
The fibreglass mesh is positioned as functional rather than delicate: it’s described as heat-resistant, weatherproof, scratch-proof, and with high tensile strength. The washable design matters too, because insect screens do get dusty and grimy over time. If you plan to clean it occasionally, you’ll likely appreciate that it’s stated not to deform after washing.

Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you want a straightforward way to keep mosquitoes and other insects out while still letting fresh air in during warmer months. You’ll probably get the most from it if your door frame measures up cleanly and you’re happy with a curtain-style screen that seals magnetically behind you.
It may not be a great match if you don’t want to measure carefully, or if your door frame is unusual enough that the “equal to or a little larger than the minimum” guidance doesn’t comfortably apply. If you need a fully rigid, airtight barrier regardless of wind and movement, a curtain screen can feel like a compromise.
Is it worth it?
Choose this Fillis magnetic fly screen door if you’re buying for summer practicality: quick insect protection, washable mesh, and an install method that uses magic tape plus bottom counterweight strips rather than tools. The self-sealing magnets are a sensible quality-of-life feature, particularly when you don’t want to juggle your hands at the door.
Skip it if your measurements aren’t reliable, or if you’re expecting the same kind of seal and rigidity as a traditional door. For best results, treat the size check as non-negotiable, compare it to your door after it arrives, and only then decide whether it’s the right fit for your home.
