How to Install Screen Windows for Container Houses

Admin 16 de septiembre de 2026

The installation of screen windows for container houses requires selecting the appropriate method based on the type of screen window. Here are the common types and installation steps:

Installation of Magnetic Screen Windows

Magnetic screen windows feature a self-adhesive design, coming with strong adhesive tape and magnetic frames. No drilling is required, making them suitable for rental properties or scenarios requiring frequent removal.

  • Steps:
    1. Clean the window frame: Ensure the surface of the window frame is flat, free of dust, or old adhesive residue to avoid affecting the adhesive properties.
    2. Apply the adhesive tape: Evenly apply the strong adhesive tape to the back of the magnetic frame, press firmly, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to enhance adhesion.
    3. Install the screen mesh: Align the magnetic frame with the edge of the window frame and gradually apply it from one end, ensuring the frame fully adheres to the window frame. If the window frame is irregular, use scissors to trim the frame to the appropriate size.
    4. Test the magnetic force: After installation, gently push the screen mesh to check if the magnetic frame is secure and whether it automatically aligns when opening and closing the door.

Installation of Hook-and-Loop Screen Windows

Hook-and-loop screen windows come with built-in hooks and loops, suitable for standard-sized windows, and are easy to install and cost-effective.

  • Steps:
    1. Measure the dimensions: Measure the width and height of the window in advance to ensure the screen window fits. If the window is not standard-sized, adjust the spacing of the hooks.
    2. Secure the hooks: Distribute the hooks evenly across the top of the screen window, spacing them about 20-30 centimeters apart to ensure even force distribution.
    3. Hang the screen window: Align the hooks with the curtain rod or the top track of the window frame, gently press to secure the hooks, and adjust the position of the screen window to be flat.

Installation of Invisible Screen Windows

The installation of invisible screen windows requires tools such as an electric drill and a level caliper, suitable for inward-opening windows or scenarios with high aesthetic requirements.

  • Steps:
    1. Locate and drill holes: Use a level caliper to determine the position of the fixing holes for the screen box, mark them, and drill holes with an electric drill (drill bit diameter approximately 3.2 millimeters).
    2. Secure the screen box: Align the screen box with the drilled holes, use a screwdriver to tighten the screws to secure it, ensuring the screen box is level and aligned with the edge of the window frame.
    3. Install the tracks: Insert the left and right tracks into the locking tabs on both sides of the screen box, secure the bottom plugs of the tracks with screws, and adjust the gap between the tracks to within 1 millimeter.
    4. Adjust the screen mesh: Pull the screen mesh to test the retraction function. If it gets stuck, adjust the position of the tracks or the screen box.
