A screen cut to your own measurements is made to your specification, so regulation 13(1)(c) removes the cancellation right once we have started making it. A standard size you cut down yourself at home keeps the full right until you cut it.
If it arrives faulty, damaged or not as described we put it right at no cost to you, return postage included, under the Consumer Rights Act 2022.

Got questions?
Frequently asked
How is it sold?
By the metre. Order the length the job needs.
How much do I need?
Work out the perimeter of the window, which is twice the width plus twice the height, and add a little for the cuts.
Can you give me an example?
A 100 cm by 150 cm window has a perimeter of 5 metres. Order 5 metres plus a bit of margin.
How do I cut it?
A sharp blade or a strong pair of scissors. No mitre saw and nothing to hire.
What is it made of?
Flexible PVC.
Why PVC rather than aluminium?
It is slimmer, lighter and it cuts with a blade. Rigid aluminium needs a mitre saw and a level of precision that puts the job out of reach for most people.
Is it less sturdy than aluminium?
It is less rigid, which is the point. A flexible frame sits against an out-of-square opening instead of fighting it, and it is far less obtrusive on the window.
What colours are there?
Black, brown or white.
Does the colour change the price?
No, all three are the same per metre.
Which colour should I choose?
Match your window surround. Brown suits timber, white suits uPVC, black suits dark or aluminium frames.
How do I join the corners?
With corner pieces, sold separately in sets of four with two wind clips. One set per screen.
Do corners come with the frame?
No. Frame is by the metre and corners are by the set, because the ratio between them depends on how many screens you are making.
What else do I need?
Mesh, and a fixing. Magnetic strip for a magnetic screen or hook-and-loop tape for a velcro one.
Does the mesh come with it?
No. Replacement mesh is sold separately in three grades.
Can I build a whole screen from parts?
Yes, and it usually works out cheaper than buying made-up screens if you are doing several windows.
Is it worth building rather than buying?
For one window, buy the made-up screen. For four odd-sized windows, buying frame by the metre and cutting to fit is both cheaper and a better fit.
Can I extend an existing screen with it?
Yes, as long as it is the same profile. That is one of the common reasons to buy a metre or two.
Will it fit screens I bought elsewhere?
It's made to match the frame used across this range. Other manufacturers use their own profiles.
Does it hold the mesh?
The frame carries the mesh and the corners hold the shape. How the mesh attaches depends on the type of screen you are building.
Will it go brittle in the sun?
It's made for a product that sits in a window through the hot months after the hot months.
Can I use it outside?
The screens it builds fit on the interior face of the window, which keeps the frame out of the weather.
How do I store leftover frame?
Flat or in a gentle coil. Do not crease it, because a sharp kink in a flexible profile stays.
Can I bend it round a curve?
It is flexible, but it is made for straight runs joined at corners. Curved openings are a different job.
Do I need to seal the joins?
No. The corner pieces hold the joins closed.
What if I cut a length too short?
Order another metre. That is the advantage of buying by the metre rather than in a fixed kit.
Should I order extra?
Yes, a little. Everyone gets one cut wrong, and running short halfway round a frame is the one thing worth avoiding.
How do I clean it?
A damp cloth. Keep grit out of the channel.
Is it heavy?
No. A made-up PVC framed screen is light enough to lift off with one hand.
Does it come in different widths?
This is the standard profile used across the range.
Can I paint it?
Order the colour you want instead. It comes in black, brown and white at the same price, and paint on flexible PVC does not stay put.
