Flyscreen Lightweight Doors

There is enough hook tape to go on each side of the door frame and to overlap at the top. The material can then be pressed onto the hook tape and overlap with the excess being cut from the top. The bottom of the material is weighted with leaded string or tape. Letting the material hit the ground means that it is less likely to move in the breeze.

Flyscreen Summer Doors

These fit in a very similar way to the Lightweight doors, but there is much wider hook and loop tape which attaches to the top of the door frame. The two pieces of door material overlap and then the UPVC strip is then pushed on top which sandwiches the material to the frame. The additional thinner hook tape can be attached to the side of the door frame so that the material has even less chance of moving in the breeze. There are also optional weights see below.

Attach the material to the extra wide hook tape to the top of the door frame and overlap.

The finishing strip then fixes the flyscreen material securely at the top.

Patio Screen

The Patio Screen is secured at the top by hook tape and has a UVPC white finishing strip and once you have cut the material to size, so that it touches the ground, you can then snap the single weight along the material. If you have a wide gap, then buy two and overlap them.

Here is the top of the screen with the material attached to the tape and the finishing strip although the supplied strip runs right to the end of the tape.

The weights clip the together at the bottom of the flyscreen material.

FAQs

What is the difference between a Lightweight door and Summer door?
The material supplied with both doors is exactly the same. They comprise two pieces of 75cm x 220cm polyester. However the Summer Door has a wider self-adhesive Hook and Loop tape that goes across the top of the door frame. Pressed against that is a strip of white UPVC plastic that sandwiches the material to the door frame. So if there is lots of traffic through the door or very high winds then it stays in position better. The Lightweight door is best for simply letting fresh air in and out.

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. 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...

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 is up to you. Being 75cm wide each that may well be the width of your door. The Hook and Loop tape sticks to the door frame the material is soft enough to stick to the hook and loop tape. At the bottom is leaded string. However our medium weight door comes with a white UPVC strip and thicker Hook and Loop is better as a main entrance at the 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 Hook and Loop tape the heavy duty doors are also ideal.

Can they be used outside?
No, they are not suitable for permanent use outside as the Hook and Loop tape will eventually deteriorate in adverse weather conditions.
