Face Fit

Reveal Fit

Face VS Reveal Fit

Peel-Vs-Shear

Face

Face is the section of door or window frame that is facing you. A Face fit screen will place the mesh on the same plane to the VELCRO® Brand fastener. Face fit is 5 times stronger than Reveal or Recess fit. (see diagram)

Reveal, or Recess

Reveal, or Recess is the section of door or window frame that sits at right angles to the door or glass. Reveal fit places the VELCRO® Brand fastener at right angles to the mesh. You should only provide “Unfinished” measurements for Reveal, or Recess fit screens.

Unfinished measurement

Unfinished measurement is the opening of the door or window (blue space in sketch) This does not include the VELCRO® Brand fastener which holds the screen to the frame (we add this to your measurements when you select “Unfinished”) You should only provide “Unfinished” measurements for Reveal or Recess fit screens.

Finished measurement

Finished measurement is the opening of the door or window with the VELCRO® Brand fastener allowance included. Custom made to your exact measurements knowing you have included the VELCRO® Brand fastener when measuring.

Sill

Sill is the bottom part of a window frame that forms a shelf-like part at right angles (Reveal or Recess)

Measure up for doors

  • First look at your frame and decide where to stick the VELCRO® Brand fastener to attach your door screen.
  • You can fix the door screen to the face, or the reveal, or recess of the frame.
  • The sides of the door screen fix with a continuous strip of 13mm (0.5″) and the top with a continuous strip of 25mm (1″) VELCRO® Brand fastener. The bottom of the screen just brushes the floor, or top of the doorstep.
  • Now measure the opening from top to bottom and left to right (the blue space within the frame, see above), this is called “UNFINISHED” size.
  • We add on the VELCRO® Brand fastener allowance of 13mm (0.5″) to each side and 25mm (1″) for the top to your given measurements for “UNFINISHED” when we make.
  • Alternatively, you can give us the “FINISHED” size, this is inclusive of the VELCRO® Brand fastener allowance of 13mm to each side and 25mm for the top fix.
  • When ordering select finished or unfinished.
  • Standard sized and Face fit doors only require 13mm for the side fix.
  • Each Flexiscreens® door screen comes with one magnetic closure only, this is placed central by default. If you want it offset let us know in the comments box ie 400mm from Left Hand Side on side of installation.
