Windows are meant to let in light and air while keeping out bugs. But standard window screens are often afterthoughts—cheap mesh held by flimsy frames, sized "close enough" to fit. They sag. They fall out. They let in no-see-ums. Custom magnetic window screens change everything. Here's your complete guide to getting window screens that fit perfectly, work flawlessly, and last.
Definition
Windows are meant to let in light and air while keeping out bugs.
Windows come in hundreds of sizes:
But window screens? Most manufacturers make 6-10 sizes.
Result: Your window isn't one of them.
Gaps:
A screen that's ½" too small on each side = 1" of total gap. That's enough for mosquitoes.
Sagging:
A screen that's even slightly oversized will bow and sag, looking terrible and working worse.
Falling Out:
Oversized screens don't stay in their tracks. They fall out constantly.
Poor Visibility:
Cheap mesh darkens your view. You bought a window for the view—don't lose it to a bad screen.
Drafts and Bugs:
Screens that don't fit let in cold drafts in fall and mosquitoes in summer.

A: Yes. Custom window screens can be made to any reasonable dimension. Very large windows may require reinforced construction.
A: Custom sizing accounts for your frame's actual dimensions. Uneven frames get screens that match their exact shape.
A: Remove the screen (magnets make this easy), hose it down, wash with mild soap, air dry, and reinstall. Takes 5-10 minutes.
A: Standard mesh (18×16) works for most situations. Finer mesh (20×20 or 20×30) is available for areas with very small gnats or no-see-ums, though it reduces airflow slightly.
A: Quality mesh (heavy duty fiberglass or heavy duty fiberglass) maintains excellent visibility. You may notice the mesh slightly, but you won't lose the view.
A: For pet households, heavy duty fiberglass mesh is essential. Pets are less likely to damage it, and if they do, it's more resistant.
Your windows are one of your home's most important features. They provide light, air, and your connection to the outside world. Standard window screens compromise all of that. Custom window magnetic screens restore it: perfect fit, quality materials, lasting function.
The investment is modest. The daily improvement is significant.

Arched windows, circular windows, octagonal windows, clerestory windows—shaped windows are architectural treasures that flood your home with light in ways rectangular windows simply can't. But when it comes to screening them, shaped windows present a challenge that defies standard solutions. Custom arched window magnetic screens are the answer. Here's everything you need to know.
Arched doorways are architectural showstoppers. The graceful curve of a segment arch, the sweeping semicircle of a full Roman arch, the gentle eyebrow of a craftsman entry—these details define your home's character. But when it's time to add a screen door, the arch becomes a challenge. Standard rectangular screens simply won't fit. That's where custom magnetic screen doors for arched doorways come in. Here's everything you need to know about measuring, ordering, and enjoying a magnetic screen door that fits your arch perfectly.
You might think a screen is a screen. But windows and doors have fundamentally different requirements. A screen that works perfectly on your sliding glass door might be entirely wrong for your bathroom window. Understanding the differences helps you choose the right custom magnetic screen for each opening. Here's the complete comparison.
