Renting in the UK? You can’t drill into window frames or make permanent changes. Yet you still need protection from midges, mosquitoes, and flies – especially in summer. Magnetic mosquito nets are the perfect solution: no tools, no damage, and they actually work.
How Magnetic Nets Work
A lightweight mesh is sewn with magnetic strips along the vertical split (for doors) or around the edges (for windows). The mesh attaches to the frame using strong self‑adhesive hook‑and‑loop (Velcro) tape. For doors, the magnets snap shut automatically after you walk through. For windows, the magnetic edging keeps the mesh taut.
Why They’re Ideal for Renters
- No drilling or screws – completely reversible.
- Installs in 5 minutes – just clean the frame, stick the tape, and press the net.
- Removable and reusable – take them down in winter and store; reapply next summer.
- Landlord‑approved – no holes, no arguments.
Best Applications
Kitchen doors: Walk through with hands full – the magnets snap shut behind you.
Balcony doors: Perfect for flats with small balconies.
Casement windows: The tape sticks to the interior frame and does not interfere with the handle.
Tilt‑and‑turn windows: Works well when taped to the fixed frame (not the moving sash).
Mesh Quality Matters
Cheap nets use fibreglass that frays quickly. Choose PET polyester mesh – it’s UV‑resistant, soft, and durable. 304 stainless steel magnetic nets are also available for extra durability (though heavier).
Installation in 5 Steps
- Measure your window or door opening.
- Order a custom‑sized magnetic net from MBORMC.
- Clean the frame with isopropyl alcohol (removes grease).
- Stick the hook‑and‑loop tape around the frame.
- Press the net onto the tape.
No tools, no mess.
Take Them When You Move
When your tenancy ends, gently peel off the tape (in most cases it leaves no residue). Roll up the net and take it to your next home.
