Updates: Magnetic Insect Screen
Earlier I mentioned that I went looking to install Magnetic System Insect screen to some of my widows.
Finally got it done.
Wanted to record down the whole process and share here but was unable as I was busy working that day.
My wife supervised the installation but she is not interested in the "process" just the "result".
Went back later and I like the overall result.
Before, I kept the windows mostly shut to prevent insect/mosquito from coming in.
Nowadays, open most of the time to allow good ventilation.
Below are some before and after picture of one of the windows that I installed the Insect screen.


I might not be able to show the process but I mentioned earlier that, to DIY the installation,
there are refinements/details that most DIY guys wont think of.
With these pictures below, I wish to illustrate what I mean.
Aluminium Strip - This is added to the grille where
1) there is no grille lines at the location on the window where you want to seperate the insect screen panels.
2) the existing grille line are not thick enough to provide the backing for the insect screen PVC strip to latch on.


Minute adjustment to the PVC strip to conform to the grille area where there is a bump or latch.


Now - I challenge any mosquito to penetrate my insect screen
