IMPORTANT: We do not recommend recess fixing security screens or diamond window screens.
Security window screens cannot be bent to fit into window recesses in the same way as a flyscreen; Seconline holds no responsibility for inability to install screens ordered with the intent to recess fix.
Face fix: This is the only recommended method of fitting security window screens and diamond screens. The window screens can be simply fitted to the face of the window frame either internally or externally by drilling through the frame of the window surround and screwing or riveting in place.Great care must be given to not interfere with the operation of the window's action, E.g. Window spirals etc.

Two Measure Options are available:
Option 1: Measure your existing window screen
Measure an existing screen: If you have existing screens and they are a good fit, then the easiest way to measure for new ones is to remeasure your old ones, ensure that you measure the width of the frame, if the width of the frame is less than 11 mm you should face fit the screen.
Note: Do not take measurements from the centre in case the screen is bowed.
Screen Width: Measure from the outer edge of the frame top and bottom, record the smallest measurement. Note: There should be maximum of 3 mm variation in the two lengths, if the variation is greater contact us to discuss solutions 1300 735 405.
Screen Height: Measure the height left and right, record the smallest measurement.
Frame Width: Using a solid ruler measure the width of your window frame, if this frame width is less than 11 mm you should face fit the screen.
