Magnetic insect screens

Keep the peskies away with HomeSeal's magnetic insect screens.

WE often put up with the invasion of mosquitoes and other pesky insects that might pose a danger to our health and well-being.

We should keep these unwanted guests outside!

To do this, you can choose from a wide range of insect screens, from the conventional aluminium types to the modern and more up-market roller and magnetic screens.

Besides the price factor, aesthetics and functionality are key considerations. There are homeowners who would rather put up with noxious smoke from mosquito coils, chemical sprays and closed windows than to ruin their home decor with the unsightly frames and bulky protrusions of the conventional aluminium screen system.

Roller screens can be troublesome at times due to the mechanism involved.

The magnetic insect screen, on the other hand, is a simple contraption that is easy to use and maintain. It is almost invisible to the eye when the screen is mounted on to the grille or window frame.

HomeSeal Marketing introduced an innovative insect screening system 10 years ago. The HomeSeal magnetic insect screen makes use of magnetic strips that are about 12mm (half an inch) wide and 1.5mm thick with adhesive to stick onto grilles and window frames.

A similar strip frames the screen, which then allows for a snapback action to ensure a perfect fit. The screen is made of fiberglass mesh that is non-combustible, ultra-violet stabilised as well as rot and stain proof. Unlike the conventional aluminium screens which are dust and air traps, HomeSeal magnetic screens allow free flow of fresh air into the home and are easy to clean.

Just dislodge the light screen and wipe it with a damp cloth or flush it with water and then wipe dry and put it back into place. Usage of the screen is just as convenient as it can be easily lifted up from the base for the opening of the window as the retaining clips keep the screen in place. Every screen is tailor-made for window or door, with a choice of colours to match your home decor.

The screens have a five-year warranty.
