Measuring Up For Flyscreens

• Measure the aperture (i.e the air space) width and height.
• Add a minimum of 20mm to the aperture width and height (to allow 10mm overlap all round ) and ensure you have a further 20mm of free space to fit the hinges and catch. You may increase the screen overlap if you have extra frame space available.
• Special note ref. Omega hinged model Ensure extra 40mm of free space available on hinged side only & check existing window handle protrusion is no greater than 35mm deep from the face of the surrounding fixed frame.

• Measure aperture (the opening) width as shown opposite and allow/add 60mm to this dimension to give finished size required.
• Measure thr finished size height from the top of your window frame down to the window sill.
• Note on high level windows with no window sill, measure from top of frame to half way down the lower horizontal frame face and order a 25mm false sill.

• Measure full width and height of reveal i.e. from inside edges of entire window (wall to wall) and (top down to window sill)
• To ensure accuracy, measure across the width at top, middle and bottom in case window reveal is 'out of square' and choose the smallest measurement.
• Do similar checks on height (window reveals can sometimes sag slightly in the middle) and choose smallest measurement.

• Measure the aperture width and height.
• Add a minimum of 20mm onto the aperture width and 10mm to the height, to create a minimum 10mm overlap onto the fixed surrounding frame.
• On Upvc doors include a minimum 10mm additional overlap onto the bottom step frame.
• Ensure you also have an additional minimum 25mm of space each side to fit the hinges and catch. If you have more frame space available you may wish to increase the overlap.

• Measure the aperture (the opening) width and height including any bevelled edges of the surrounding frame, regard these as part of the aperture.
• Add 50mm to obtain the finished size width required.
• Ideally add a minimum of 60mm to the height aperture, more if you have a larger flat surface to fit to. A minimum of 30mm above the aperture, preferably from the top of the fixed door frame face right down to the floor or doorstep
• Do a physical double check at the doorway itself to ensure the finished sizes will fit neatly.
• Finished size height is critical, width not so as can be easily reduced if need be.

• Finished size should allow a small overlap on each side of the door frame
• If the doorway is recessed, utilise the recess less 5mm tolerance
• Height should be measured from the top of the door frame down to the door step or floor.
• Screen should hang slightly above floor level, approx. 25mm, to allow for movement of the screen, so deduct 25mm from finished size height.

• Measure the aperture (the opening) width and height.
• Measure the flat facing frame space available at the sides and top.
• Report all dimensions to us and we will calculate the best finished size.

• Measure the width and height of the reveal in three different places.
• Take the smallest sizes and subtract 3-5mm tolerance to allow for fitting.

Roller screens are not recommended for industrial kitchen use unless in cold rooms or store rooms or other areas where the air is clean. Hygiene regulations require that flyscreens should be easily removed for cleaning .

See specifications for profile sizes to ensure selected models will fit, note especially existing window / door frame sizes to allow sufficient room for flyscreen fastenings i.e. hinges, magnetic catches, turn buttons etc. Please contact us if you need assistance.

Various obstructions to fitting flyscreens can arise .... e.g. protruding handles, window hardware, auto-door closers, alarm system control boxes, telephone points etc. etc. We have 18 years of experience in overcoming such challenges and we would be pleased to assist you.
