DIY Magnetic Insect Screen Singapore: Installing Grilles for BTO / Apartment Under Renovation

If you intend to install grilles on your window, we recommend installing insect screens on grilles so that

1) It's easier to lift insect screens when opening / closing windows
2) It's easier to remove to wash
3) It's difficult to install on window's frame with grilles blocking

Ensure that the grilles are installed on the wall or window's frame so that there are no gaps around the grilles (Examples below).

Use 3 track instead of 2 track sliding frame

Typically for casement (push-out) window, grilles are installed away from windows due to the locking handle. Ask your contractor to use a 3 track frame instead of 2 track sliding frame so that the inner track will provide allowance required by casement window (refer to image below).

The Inner track will provide allowance for casement window's handle

The inner track will provide allowance for locking handle & grilles will slide on centre & outer track.

Thereafter insect screens can be installed on grilles, you can refer to the following examples for installation on Sliding Grilles.

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

As follow up, I installed the magnetic fly screens as per instructions. The results are more than satisfactory. Challenges included tensioning the flyscreen, and securing the magnetic strip to frame with the fly screen in the channel. eventually completed. results are good. it works. Next time I wouldn't choose white magnetic frame for the coffee brown aluminium frame. otherwise, all is good. Thank you......David W

The mosquito screen works great. I installed it on my balcony sliding door (one side) so I can still open at least one panel.....Stanry

Thank you very much for demonstrating patiently how to fix the insect screen.
We managed to fix it properly without any issue.
Really like the product very much except i find that the plastic smell was a bit strong ... think it is going off slowly..... Hai San
