LIGHTWEIGHT DOORS

• What are the weights like on the lightweight doors?

On the lightweight curtains the weights are like leaded string, but actually quite effective when they are in contact with the floor. A picture is on the website under flyscreens in more details.

Are they suitable for caravans?

We sell a lot to caravan users and we appreciate the doorways are narrow. Basically the two pieces of material overlap and the amount of overlap in up to you. Being 75cm wide that may well be the width of your door. The material sticks to the Velcro sticks to the door frame the material is soft enough to stick to the Velcro. At the bottom is leaded string. However our medium weight door comes with a white UPVC strip and thicker Velcro at he top so that if there are lots people going in and out the material won't get dragged off. That can happen with the lightweight set up. If you don’t mind screwing into your caravan doorway, or using Velcro the heavy duty doors are also ideal.

• What is the difference between a lightweight door and Summer door?

The material supplied is the same two pieces of 75cm x 220cm, but there is wider Velcro to go across the top of the door frame and there is piece of UPVC plastic that sandwiches the material to the door frame, so that if there is lots of traffic through the door or high winds then it stays in position better.

Can they be used outside?

Yes, but they are not suitable for permanent use outside.

• Are they weighted at the bottom?

Only very lightly which is why they are called lightweight, there is some leaded string at the bottom, there is a better picture on the website. Obviously compared to the Heavy Duty Curtain which has substantial weights there is no comparison, but provided you make sure that the curtain hits the floor then it is surprisingly effective. If you have plenty of overlap then the curtains don't really blow open unless there is a gale. Ultimatey tthough the heavy duty curtains are best...

HEAVY DUTY DOOR CURTAINS

• My door opening is larger than 95cm (heavy duty, or 100cm) can I get extra panels of material?

I'm afraid that we do not sell the strips separately so you would need to buy two as they can be mounted together. The alternative is to make your own door cover with the bespoke material which cuts very cleanly with sharp scissors or a knife. It is 1.2m wide and we can cut it into metre lengths at £4.99 a metre. However you would have to work out how to fit it to the door frame and possibly weight it at the bottom. We are happy to send you a sample.

• Can I leave curtains outside?

No problem especially the heavy duty ones as they are made of UPVC and the curtains is glass fibre and are very durable and easily cleaned. The Budget door material is softer polyester/cotton and more likely to degrade although it is UV resistant. In the UK climate though we would not leave outside in winter. It comes with brackets so that you can simply unclip it if required and store away.

• How do heavy duty flyscreens fit?

The door can be adjusted to fit up to a maximum of 95cm wide, the budget doors will fit a gap of 100cm. The UPVC strip can be cut to fit and how closely you overlap the strips is up to you. There are some explanatory pictures on our website (flyscreens in detail) which shows the heavy duty flyscreens in more detail.

• Why choose a Charcoal Door?

The UPVC rail is white, the weights at the bottom are black and there are two black end pieces at the end of the rail. The mesh is only available in grey/Charcoal, but the advantage is that this is easier to see through that as white actually reflects light.

• How do I attach the weights at the bottom of the door screens?

To attach the weight we would recommend that you use pliers. First wrap a cloth or rag around the weight and you will here it snap together. Do this along the length of the weight. There is no reason why the material should shred as you describe.

• What’s the difference between the heavy duty blue curtain and the more expensive charcoal one?

The only difference between the curtains is the colour the blue ones are all blue and as it is an end of range item it has been reduced in price.

• What is the difference between the Budget Charcoal Door and the more expensive Charcoal/Butterfly/Blue/Charcoal-Grey Heavy Duty Doors?

The budget screen has pre fitted weights which are lighter than the more expensive one and the material is more like plain netting, whereas the more expensive one is heavier polyester type. Also the plastic is a tad lighter. However, fitting the budget screen is just that bit easier.

You could get one of our Medium weight/Summer doors which has a UPVC strip at the top plus Velcro at the sides and just two pieces of material that overlap(making it much harder for moggie to get through), but you would need to clip these together and at the bottom put lots of books or a plank of wood. There is plenty of material with each piece measuring 75cm wide by 220cm long.

• Can Dogs deal with them?

Yes, but only the heavy duty, they may drag the lightweight ones down and find it more difficult to get through the overlap, the summer doors are much stronger though.

WINDOWS

• Can I remove the Hook tape from the window frames?

It will pull off, although it is tough to pull off then use some solvent (white spirit, goo gone, paint thinnners, but please check with your window suppliers (especially UVPC) that this is OK as we cannot be held responsible for you using the uncorrect product to clean off the glue.

• How do I open and shut the windows with the screen on?

You simply peel the material away and pull the window shut. Provided you do not tug roughly at the material it is very durable and we have used the same material all year on our windows for many seasons.

• What if the window stay protrudes into the room?

As for the stay it depends how far in it extends. If you have enough material it will fit around the bracket. The crucial part is that the material fit snugly to the Hook and Loop tape to make a close join. We cannot say how much more material you would need that is your judgement.

• Is Hook tape included with the windows?

Yes it is included with the window packs. But you can buy extra Hook and Loop tape by the metre which is double the width and can be cut in half doubling the 1 metre length to two metres.

• Why choose Charcoal over White?

The reason why people go for Charcoal is that it is easier to see through because it does not reflect the light. The 100 x 100 size is not available in Charcoal, only in the 130 x 150 size.

• What are the size of the mesh holes?

They are 1mm square.

• How do the window kits work?

The standard window kits we have do not need frames. the 100 x 100 and 130 x 150 operate by simply putting velcro around the window frame and then putting the material on top and cutting to size. The bespoke mesh that we sell by the metere is harder and does not stick so well to Velcro as that is designed to be used in frames, but they can be fixed above the windows and used in the way you suggest but how you design it is up to you.

• Will the screens and doors keep my cats in?

We never guarantee that our screens are cat proof. They could scratch or eat their way through them if they wanted as it is only material not metal. The flaps mean that a cat can get through although it is possible to batten the strips together which customers have done, but yet again not 100 per cent cat proof.

• I live in France where all the windows open inwards. Will the screens be suitable for such windows?

The material is washable and would be okay outside, but I could not guarantee how long the velcro would last. Depending on the gap between the hinge and window you might be able to put the Velcro in the gap and then the mesh would be inside.

CHARCOAL FLYSCREEN QUEEN MATERIAL BY THE METRE

The bespoke Charcoal material is available in 1.2m wide sizes and the number of metres is up to you. It is very easy for you to cut into strips, or for an overlapping doorway with a sharp knife or scissors and it it will not fray. If you want a sample we are happy to post some to you.

• How much is the Charcoal material?

The heavy duty charcoal material is sold by the metre at £4.99. The price for a 25 metre roll is £110 including postage and packing saving £14.75 on the metre price. The price for a 50 metre roll is £210 including postage and packing saving £39.50 on the metre price. Payment for the roll though is only by cheque at this favourable price.

• Is the Material fire proof?

The manufacturer description is 'fire resistant' which we understand to mean that under normal circumstances it won't simply catch fire, but if someone was to hold a naked flame to it then eventually it will catch.

• How do I fix the material?

As for fixing the material that is up to you. We sell this to people who usually want to make frames. It is possible to use Velcro on either side, but there are no guarantees that it will work. Our packs of 100 x 100 and 130 x 150 are specifically designed to stick to the supplied Velcro and the material is much softer.

• Could I make my own doors with this material?

Certainly it would be possible to fix the material at the top and weight it at the bottom, although it is stiffer and heavier than net curtain so does does not blow open so easily, but we can make no recommendations.
