How do you fit a window filter?

You can fit the Odera window filter in two ways: directly to the window frame with self-adhesive hook-and-loop tape, or with spline into your existing insect screen frame. Both are jobs of a few minutes that need no installer.

Which method suits you?

Before you start

  • Measure correctly. For the hook-and-loop model, measure the line where the tape will go; for the framed model, measure the frame’s inner channel. Guide to measuring will help you with this.
  • Fit the dark side facing out. The filter is dark on one side and light on the other. The dark side should face out; that way the filter works best and it is hard to see in from outside.
  • Use sharp scissors. The filter does not fray when cut; sharp scissors or a utility knife are enough for a clean cut.
  • Choose a calm day. Positioning a large filter is harder in windy weather.

Doors and balcony doors

For places you pass through often, such as a balcony door, fitting the filter to a hinged screen door is the most practical method. If you have a hinged screen door, you can replace its mesh with a filter roll. If not, your screen maker can make a hinged frame with the filter. Hook-and-loop fitting is also possible on doors, but because you would need to remove the filter every time you go through, it is best where the door is rarely used.

Vents and air inlets

For small air inlets and kitchen and bathroom vents, just cut the filter slightly larger than the opening and stick hook-and-loop tape around it. The filter gets dusty faster in these places; we recommend checking it once a month.

Frequently asked questions

Which side should face out?

The dark side of the filter should face out. That way the filter works best and it is hard to see in from outside.

Do I need an installer?

Not for the hook-and-loop model; scissors and a clean surface are enough. You can fit the roll model into your existing screen frame yourself; if you need a new frame, your screen maker can help.

Can it be fitted to a balcony door?

Yes. The most practical way is to replace the mesh of a hinged screen door with window filter, so you can walk through freely. It can also be fitted with hook-and-loop tape on doors that are rarely used.
