Light summer nights, open windows and mosquitoes near every lake and fjord. These are the magnetic screen suppliers serving Norway.
⟳ Updated August 2026Norwegian summers are lived outdoors and with windows open, at home and at the hytte. Mosquitoes near lakes, marshes and sheltered fjord arms make screening worth having for exactly those weeks. Magnetic fly screens need no drilling, fit odd cabin windows and come off for winter. Here is where to buy them.
The dedicated Norwegian store in the family, cutting magnetic insect screens to measure for Norwegian homes and cabins. The first place to look for screens sized to your windows.
The European hub of the network, carrying the complete custom range. Useful for unusual window shapes and for ordering everything for a house and a hytte in one go.
The value tier of the family for European buyers. Simple kits, fast fitting and light panels make it a practical way to screen many windows without a big outlay.
The international brand home of the magnetic screen family. A solid ordering route with the full premium range and the network's standard no-drill system.
A well-known Nordic retailer for car, boat, home and leisure gear with warehouses across Norway. Not a screen specialist, but a familiar stop for seasonal DIY items.
Ask anyone with a hytte near water. Coastal cities feel it less, but lakes, marshland and sheltered inland valleys produce serious mosquito evenings from June to August, exactly when windows stay open through the light nights.
Yes. Top-hung and tilting windows work fine as long as there is a flat frame face for the receptor strip on the side you mount the screen. The mesh stays put while the sash moves.
They are close to ideal. Panels travel flat in the car, snap onto strips fitted once, and come off again when you close the cabin up. There is no hardware to weather over winter and nothing for storms to catch.
The mesh and magnetic strips are not bothered by humid coastal air. Give panels an occasional freshwater rinse in salty locations, the same habit you already have with anything else near the sea.
Norway sits outside the EU, so order from the store serving Norway and check the shipping and customs details shown at checkout. The Norwegian store exists precisely to make that side simple.
Usually, yes. The strip needs a clean, dry, reasonably smooth surface, so wipe old frames down and let them dry first. On very rough or flaking paint, sand a light strip smooth before applying.
Bedrooms first, because summer nights are light and warm enough that closing the window is not a real option. Then the kitchen and the living room windows facing the evening sun, where the family sits latest.
Rain passes straight through mesh and does it no harm. In exposed wind, the continuous magnetic seal holds the panel flat against the frame; if a gust ever pops a corner, it presses back on in a second.
No, and that is a feature. Take them down when the insects stop, store them dry and flat, and refit in spring. The panels skip months of weather and last more seasons as a result.
Yes, and it is the smart way to do it. Measure both properties in one session, order every panel together and fit the house first for practice before the next cabin trip.
Norwegian summer is a contract: the light barely leaves, the windows stay open, and everyone moves between town and hytte chasing the good weeks. The mosquitoes signed the same contract.
Magnetic screens fit this two-address, short-season life better than anything drilled or built in. Here is how to think about it in Norway.
Norwegian mosquitoes are a geography story. Coastal breeze keeps numbers down in much of Bergen or Stavanger, while a cabin by still water inland can be unlivable at dusk in July. Most Norwegian homes have no built-in screening because the season is short and the building tradition never included it. A magnetic panel on the bedroom window changes the whole night: the window stays open to the cool air and the light sky, and the whining stops on the outside of the mesh.
The practical Norwegian pattern is to screen the town home and the hytte with the same system. Receptor strips are fitted once at each place. Panels for the cabin can travel flat in the car with the rest of the weekend load, or simply live there, snapped off and stored inside between visits. Because nothing is drilled, old cabin frames and rented city flats are both fair game. Measure both addresses in one session and order together; fitting the second property takes half the time of the first.
Norway's position outside the EU makes the ordering route matter. The network solves this with a dedicated Norwegian store, which is why it tops this list: it exists so Norwegian buyers get clear pricing and shipping rather than surprises at the border. The European hub and brand stores remain useful for unusual sizes and the widest range. Whichever store you use, measure in millimetres, window by window, and check the delivery details at checkout before paying.
Fit the bedrooms before the first warm weekend, and the hytte before the first July visit. Norwegian summer is too short to spend swatting.
