Magnetic Fly Screen Window Adjustable DIY Max 120x110cm Fibreglass Mesh with Strong Magnetic Strip
Product description
The essentials
If you want a quick way to let air in without inviting insects, a magnetic fly screen can be the most practical route. This adjustable DIY window screen uses a fibreglass mesh plus a magnetic strip system designed to seal each time you open and close the window. The idea is simple: stick adhesive magnetic strips to the window frame, then bring the magnetic sections together so the screen stays put while you use the window.
On paper, it’s aimed at everyday summer use—keeping airflow going while reducing the chance of flies and similar bugs getting indoors. It’s also removable and washable, which matters because no one wants to replace a screen every season just because it’s gathered dust.
That said, it’s not a one-click install like a fully fitted unit, you’ll need a bit of DIY time and careful measurement. And while the mesh is described as tear-resistant, magnetic screens still rely on how well they’re applied and aligned.
What you’ll notice in use
The main day-to-day difference is the opening/closing behaviour. With a magnetic strip seal, the screen can stay in place after openings, instead of needing clips or complicated fastenings every time. That’s especially useful if you’re someone who opens windows regularly rather than leaving them in one position.
A micro-experience example: imagine a warm evening when you crack a window for airflow. You press the window fly screen into position against the frame, the magnetic strip holds it while the window is open. When you close the window later, the screen remains supported and doesn’t immediately sag away from the opening.
The mesh is also described as breathable, so you’re not trapping the room—good for sleeping comfort if you tend to run windows for ventilation.
Where it fits (and where it doesn’t)
This screen is designed to suit window sizes up to 120x110cm and smaller. The listing also states it can be cut down to fit your needs, so it’s a reasonable choice if your window isn’t a perfect match for standard sizes.
You’ll typically see it used on different window types, including aluminium window frames, sliding windows, curved windows, side hung windows, skylight windows and awning windows (depending on your frame layout). If your goal is insect protection with flexibility, this approach makes sense.
It might not suit you if you want something that’s fully permanent and hassle-free every day. Magnetic systems and DIY adhesive strips can be a bit fiddly to get aligned neatly, and if your window frame is uneven or the surface isn’t suitable for sticking, you may struggle to get a tidy seal.
It also isn’t the best move if you’re shopping for a size without measuring first—because the product relies on you cutting and fitting the screen to match your opening.

Key takeaways for buying
The magnetic strip strength is one of the selling points, with the listing claiming up to 720GS and describing an upgraded magnetic strip. For most buyers, this is the part that affects whether the screen stays attached after opening and closing.
Before you buy, do a quick reality check: - Measure your window opening carefully (the listing explicitly asks you to measure before ordering). - Plan for trimming: it can be cut down and then stored by rolling it up later. - Think about where you’ll store it in off-season—because it’s removable by design.
Also, pay attention to the included components: you’re getting one piece of fibreglass mesh, a roll of adhesive magnetic strip, a grooved magnetic strip and PVC strip, plus a bag of accessories and an instruction manual. That means this is positioned as a DIY kit rather than a pre-installed screen.
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you want a DIY magnetic fly screen for day-to-day ventilation, you’re happy to measure and trim for a proper fit, and you value removable, washable mesh for recurring use.
You may want to skip it if you’re looking for a fully fitted, plug-and-play solution with no adhesive work, or if your window frame surface isn’t suitable for sticking the adhesive magnetic strips. It also might not be a great match if you’re ordering without checking your measurements—because fit is the whole game with adjustable magnetic screens.
