Fly screen roll Tesa 55140-00000-01 1.0 m × 2.5 m, aluminum frame, tear-resistant fabric

Tesa Fly Screen Roll 1.0 m × 2.5 m with an aluminum frame and tear-resistant fabric is a retrofit insect screen solution designed for windows and doors. Supplied in a roll format to be cut to measure, it combines durable materials with straightforward handling to provide airflow and visibility while preventing insect ingress. The product suits renovation work, custom-fit installations and temporary or permanent screen assemblies where a robust, easily trimmed fabric is required.

Advantages

The aluminum frame material offers corrosion resistance and a lightweight structure that is easy to handle during fitting. The tear-resistant fabric improves longevity compared with standard mesh, resisting wear from repeated handling and tensioning. Supplied as a roll, the screen allows precise cutting to the required dimensions, reducing waste and enabling on-site adjustments. The open weave maintains visibility and ventilation while providing consistent insect protection.

Suitable for

• Retrofit installation on existing window or door frames
• Custom-made screens for renovation projects
• Temporary or seasonal screen fittings
• Areas requiring durable, tear-resistant mesh

Key specifications

• Material: aluminum frame with tear-resistant synthetic mesh
• Dimensions (roll): 1.0 m width × 2.5 m length
• Mesh type: open weave for airflow and visibility
• Format: roll for cutting to size on site
• Durability: reinforced against tearing and abrasion

How to use

Measure the opening accurately and mark the required cut lines on the roll. Unroll the mesh and cut to the measured dimensions using a sharp utility knife or scissors, allowing a small overlap for secure fixing. Fit the aluminum frame components to the prepared opening or use the roll mesh with existing frame channels, securing the edges with spline, adhesive tape or appropriate fixings depending on the frame design. Tension the fabric evenly to avoid wrinkles and ensure consistent insect protection.

Recommendations

When installing, wear gloves to protect hands while cutting and handling the aluminum frame. Use a straightedge to obtain clean cuts. For long-term outdoor exposure, check mounting points periodically and re-tension or replace the mesh if signs of wear appear. Avoid contact with sharp objects or abrasive surfaces to maintain the tear-resistant properties of the fabric.
