If you're a British homeowner or renter, you've probably dealt with mosquitoes buzzing in through open windows. Bug spray works for a few hours. Citronella candles help a little. But the only permanent solution is a properly installed window screen — one that keeps bugs out while letting fresh air in.
The problem? Most off-the-shelf screens from DIY stores don't fit properly. Custom screens can be expensive and often require professional installation. And if you're renting — or living in a period property — you can't make permanent modifications to your windows.
That's where MBORMC comes in. Our DIY magnetic screens are designed specifically for British homes — easy to install, completely removable, and built to last. Here's everything you need to know.
Made for British Windows: MBORMC screens are custom-cut to your exact window dimensions (in cm or inches). Whether you have sash windows, casement windows, or custom-shaped period windows — we make screens that fit perfectly.
Why DIY Screens Are Perfect for British Homes
British homes have unique characteristics that make DIY screens the ideal solution:
- Period properties: Many British homes have non-standard window sizes. Custom screens ensure a perfect fit.
- Rental properties: Over 30% of UK households rent. Removable, no-drill screens are essential.
- Listed buildings: No drilling or permanent fixtures allowed. DIY screens are completely removable.
- DIY culture: British homeowners love DIY projects. Installing screens is quick and satisfying.
- Cost-effective: DIY installation saves money — no need to hire a professional.
How to Measure Your Windows (cm and inches)
Accurate measurements are the key to a perfect fit. Here's a simple step-by-step guide:
Measure the Width
Measure the width of the window opening from the inside edge of the left frame to the inside edge of the right frame. Take measurements at the top, middle, and bottom — then use the smallest measurement.
Measure the Height
Measure the height from the inside edge of the top frame to the inside edge of the bottom frame (or sill). Take measurements on the left, center, and right — then use the smallest measurement.
Check for Square
Measure diagonally from top-left to bottom-right, then top-right to bottom-left. If they match, your frame is square. If not, use the smaller of the two diagonal measurements as a reference.
Submit Your Measurements
Send your width and height (in cm or inches) to us. Our team will confirm the measurements and build your screens to the exact specifications.

DIY Installation in 5 Easy Steps
Once your custom screen arrives, installation takes less than 15 minutes per window. No tools required — just your hands and a few minutes of your time.
Clean the Window Frame
Wipe the frame clean and dry. This ensures the adhesive tape bonds properly. Use rubbing alcohol for the best results.
Peel and Stick the Tape
Remove the backing from the 3M industrial-grade adhesive tape included with your screen. Apply it to the window frame around the entire opening.
Attach the Magnetic Strips
Your screen comes with strong magnetic strips attached to the mesh. Simply align them with the tape on your frame — the magnets will hold the screen in place.
Press and Seal
Press the screen firmly against the frame around all edges. The magnetic seal creates a tight, gap-free barrier that even the smallest bugs can't get through.
Enjoy Fresh Air — Bug-Free
Open your window and enjoy the fresh air. No mosquitoes, no flies, no worries.
100% Removable: MBORMC screens are completely removable. If you're renting, you can take them down when you move — no damage to the window frames, no lost security deposits.
Real British Homes, Real DIY Success
Case Study: The Smiths – Victorian Terrace, Manchester
"We live in a Victorian terrace with beautiful original sash windows. We wanted to keep our windows open in the summer, but the mosquitoes were terrible. We measured our windows, ordered MBORMC screens, and installed them ourselves in about 15 minutes per window. My husband was skeptical — he thought it would be complicated — but it was incredibly easy. No tools, no drilling, no mess. And the screens work perfectly."
Case Study: The Wilsons – London Rental Flat
"We're renters in a flat in London, and we couldn't make any permanent changes to the windows. MBORMC's screens were a lifesaver. We measured, ordered, and installed in one afternoon. No drilling, no damage — completely removable. We can finally keep our windows open in the summer without worrying about mosquitoes. We're definitely taking the screens with us when we move."
Case Study: The Taylors – Thatched Cottage, Cotswolds
"We have a thatched cottage with windows of all different shapes and sizes. Standard screens from the DIY store didn't fit any of them. MBORMC's custom screens were the only solution that worked. We measured each window individually, and the screens fit perfectly. Installation was quick and easy — no tools needed. We're delighted with the results."
