About this product
Extra PVC frame length.
For a window wider than the kit you bought.
An additional length of PVC frame profile, for making up a frame larger than the standard kit or replacing a section that has been damaged.
Black, brown or white.
Still deciding?
Not sure yet? That is fine.
You can change your mind. Under the Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The EU sale of goods rules (Directive (EU) 2019/771) covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
Two jobs. Making up a frame bigger than the standard kit covers, and replacing a single length that has been bent, cracked or cut short.
How is it sold?
By the metre, in black, brown or white, so you buy the run your opening actually needs.
How much do I need?
Add the four sides of the opening together. A 1.2 by 1 metre window comes to 4.4 metres, and it is worth rounding up so a bad cut does not cost you a second order.
Can I cut it myself?
Yes. It trims to length with a fine-toothed saw or a sharp blade. Cut a fraction long and take the last millimetre off with a file for a tidy joint.
What colours are available?
Black, brown and white.
Do I need corner pieces as well?
You do if you are building a frame from scratch. Four lengths need four corners to join them, and the corner set is sold separately.
Will this profile match the frame I already have?
It is the profile used across the window screen range sold here. If your frame came from another supplier, measure it and email theteam@insectscreensbelgium.com before ordering.
What does it cost?
EUR 10 per metre. Delivery is free on orders over EUR 60 and EUR 22 below that.
How long does delivery take?
Allow 5 to 7 days after handling, and handling takes 24 to 48 hours.
What are the profile dimensions?
We do not publish the profile dimensions for this line. If you are matching an existing frame, send us a photograph with a tape measure against it and we will confirm rather than guess.
Can I make a frame larger than any of your kits?
That is exactly what this is for. Buy the metres you need and the corners to join them, and the frame is whatever size you cut it to.
Can I make several small frames from one order?
Yes. Ordering the total length and cutting it into two or three frames is usually cheaper than buying separate kits.
Does the frame need to be screwed to the window?
The window screen frames in this range sit in the opening rather than being fixed through the reveal, which is what makes them straightforward in a rented flat.
Is PVC frame suitable outdoors?
It is made for a window opening, so it lives in the reveal rather than fully exposed. Like any PVC it becomes more brittle in hard frost, which matters most when you are handling it.
Will the colour fade in sunlight?
We do not publish a UV rating for this profile, so we will not claim it is fade-proof. A south-facing window is always harder on any plastic than a north-facing one.
Can I paint the PVC frame?
Paint rarely bonds well to PVC without proper preparation and it can flake into the mesh. Buying the colour you want is the better route, and there are three.
Can I join two lengths to make one long side?
It is possible but it puts a weak point in the middle of a side that carries the mesh tension. For a wide opening, order a single length that covers the run.
Do I need to buy mesh separately?
This product is the frame profile only. If the mesh also needs replacing, the replacement flyscreen mesh is sold separately.
Can I order a part metre?
It is sold in whole metres. Round up and keep the offcut, which is useful the next time a corner or a short side needs replacing.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum, though delivery is free once the basket reaches EUR 60.
What is the difference between this and a complete screen kit?
A kit arrives with everything cut and ready for one standard size. This is raw length for a size we do not stock or for a repair.
How do I get a square frame?
Cut opposite sides to exactly the same length and check the diagonals match before pushing the last corner home. A frame that is out of square will not sit flat in the opening.
Will the frame hold heavier pet mesh?
The same profile carries the mesh options in this range. If you are planning something heavier than what we sell, ask first rather than assume.
Can I use this profile for a door?
No. It is a window screen profile. A doorway needs the magnetic door screen range, which is built for constant handling.
How do I fit the mesh into the frame?
The mesh is held in the profile channel. Work from the middle of each side outwards so the tension stays even and the mesh does not pull to one corner.
What if I cut a length too short?
Keep it. Short offcuts are exactly what you need next time one side of a smaller frame gets damaged.
Can I mix colours on one frame?
Nothing stops you, though on a window that faces the street most people match all four sides.
How should I store spare lengths?
Flat and supported along their length. A length left leaning in a corner for a season will take a bow that you cannot cut out.
Do you supply the profile pre-cut to my size?
Not through the website. It is sold by the metre and cut by you, which is what keeps it simple to price and quick to ship.
What if the profile arrives damaged in transit?
Email theteam@insectscreensbelgium.com with a photograph and we will replace it.
