Fillis Magnetic Fly Screen Door Curtains 90x210cm – Mosquito Proof Fibreglass Mesh with Full Frame & Hook
Product description
What this is for (and why people buy it)
A magnetic fly screen door curtain is one of those simple ideas that makes day-to-day life easier: you get ventilation without letting insects in. The Fillis Magnetic Fly Screen Doors (90x210cm) uses a fibreglass mesh curtain designed to block mosquitoes and other bugs, while magnets help the curtain close again behind you.
If you’re the type who likes fresh air but hates swatting insects, this is aimed exactly at that gap. It’s also the kind of accessory people consider when they’d rather reduce reliance on air conditioning in warmer months—at least on paper, letting you air the room naturally.
The approach is fairly straightforward: measure carefully, fit it over/with the frame setup provided, then walk through. Magnets do the “closing” work, and the hands-free nature is especially handy when you’re carrying shopping or bins.
The essentials at a glance
This version is built around a fibreglass mesh curtain that’s described as durable, heat-resistant, weatherproof and scratch-proof. It also includes a full frame and a hook, and the installation is said to be tool-free.
What stands out in the build, based on the information provided, is the combination of: - A self-sealing magnetic curtain designed to close faster than typical versions thanks to “more magnets”. - A strong wide magic tape solution plus counterweight strips at the bottom of the curtain, intended to improve wind resistance. - Washability: the mesh can be cleaned and is stated not to deform after washing.
That’s a good mix for anyone who expects daily use in a doorway that sees airflow, not just occasional garden access.
How it fits: installation and sizing matters
No matter how good the magnets are, a screen door curtain only works if it fits your opening properly. The instructions are quite clear: you should measure your outer and inner door frame size carefully before buying, then compare the curtain to your door after it arrives to confirm it’s the right size.
The guidance provided is to choose a size that is equal to or a little larger than the minimum fit door frame size. In practice, this is where many returns happen—if you’re between sizes, it’s usually safer to plan around what your frame opening actually measures.
Installation, as described, is “easy” thanks to strong wide magic tape and counterweight strips at the bottom of the curtain. Importantly, it’s positioned as a tool-free install, which is a big plus if you don’t want the hassle of drilling or permanent fitting.
One small limitation to keep in mind: since the fitting depends on tape attachment and the frame hook arrangement, it’s worth being realistic about whether your door frame surface is suitable for tape bonding and whether the curtain sits neatly when the door is used frequently.
What you’ll notice in use
The self-sealing design is intended to be genuinely hands-free. The magnets help the curtain close as you pass through, so you don’t have to manually pull it shut every time.
There’s also a practical “wind” angle. The counterweight strips at the bottom are meant to improve resistance to breeze, which matters if your doorway gets a bit of airflow from outside—otherwise a curtain can flap more than you’d like.
A simple micro-scenario: imagine you’ve just come back from the bin with a bag in each hand. You step through, the magnets draw the curtain back together behind you, and you’re not fumbling for the edge with wet or bulky hands. In summer weather, that kind of convenience adds up.
On the bug side, the mesh is fine and is designed to keep mosquitoes and other insects out, while still letting air through. It’s essentially a ventilation accessory with insect protection built in.

Where it shines (and where it may fall short)
This is a strong match if you want: - A mosquito-reducing screen that still allows airflow. - A tool-free install approach using magic tape and a counterweight bottom strip. - A curtain designed to cope with weather and regular handling, with washable fibreglass mesh.
It may not be the best choice if: - Your door frame doesn’t suit tape-based fitting or the supplied frame/hook arrangement. - You’re looking for a rigid, “hard door” style solution—this is a curtain format, so it behaves differently to a sealed door. - You want maximum precision fitting without checking sizes, the product relies heavily on choosing the right dimensions before purchase.
In other words, it sits more in the “practical everyday doorway accessory” bracket than a high-end, precision-engineered alternative.
Care and cleaning
The curtain is described as washable and is stated not to deform after washing. That’s useful if you live somewhere with dust, pollen, or general outdoor grime.
Is it worth it?
Buying this makes sense if you want a straightforward way to keep insects out while still enjoying ventilation, and you’re willing to measure your door frame properly before ordering. The magnetic, self-sealing concept is well suited to everyday traffic through a doorway, and the counterweight strips are a sensible touch for dealing with wind.
You may want to skip it if you’re unsure about sizing or if your doorway setup doesn’t comfortably match the tape-and-frame hook installation approach. Also, if you expect a fully rigid screen door feel, a mesh curtain won’t feel the same—no matter how effective the magnets are.
A good practical check before buying: confirm your outer and inner frame measurements, and, if possible, plan how the curtain will sit and close when you walk through.
