Installation conditions

for using FlexScreen

Please note that FlexScreen cannot be used with all window types. Please read the following information carefully.

Where exactly is FlexScreen installed?

No tools or aids are required to install FlexScreen. Thanks to its flexible frame, this fly screen can be used with your bare hands. FlexScreen is clamped into the window frame by pushing the flexible frame together. The clip-on spacers provide additional hold, if necessary.

For which window type is FlexScreen suitable?

Offset PVC-U windows

FlexScreen fits into offset PVC windows with the following specification/geometry without an adapter profile.

FlexScreen is perfect for the very common PVC turn/tilt windows. The window remains fully operational without having to remove the insect screen.

For which window types is FlexScreen not yet suitable?

Flush windows

The FlexScreen system is not suitable for flush windows. FlexScreen is installed between the window frame and the window sash. In the case of flush windows, there is not enough space leading to the possibility that the insect screen mesh is damaged when the window is closed and the window does not close properly.

Adapter profiles will soon be available for this type of window. Please contact us for more information on this topic.

Wooden windows

Both modern and older wooden windows are not compatible with the FlexScreen-system. These windows are usually designed in such a way that the distance between the window frame and the window sash is very small - which is why the insect screen system usually does not have enough space in this type of window.

Aluminum windows

Similar to flush windows, this window system usually does not offer enough space for a FlexScreen. In addition, aluminum windows often have a special sealing system and sharp-edged corners, which can lead to the mesh being damaged or torn.

Adapter profiles will soon be available for this type of window. Please contact us for more information on this topic.

Windows with a weather profile

Windows fitted with a weather profile are not suitable for the FlexScreen-system. Even with offset PVC windows, the protruding weather profile on the frame causes the mesh to tear when the window is closed.

Window frames with an additional center seal

Window frames with a center seal must have a minimum clearance of 12 mm between the seal and the window frame itself, as this space is required for the FlexScreen frame. This space is also crucial for using the clip-on spacers, as otherwise they may not fit correctly.
