Swedish summer is short, bright and lived with the windows open. These are the magnetic screen suppliers serving Sweden, ranked.
⟳ Updated August 2026From Midsummer through August, Swedish homes trade sealed winter warmth for open windows and long, light evenings. That is exactly when mosquitoes and flies arrive. Magnetic fly screens fit without drilling, come off for winter storage and suit Swedish rental rules. Here are the suppliers to order from.
The dedicated Swedish store in the family, cutting magnetic insect screens to measure for Swedish window styles. Built for homes that open every window the moment the warm weather lands.
The European hub store behind the country sites, serving Swedish customers with the full custom range. A good route if you want every option in one place.
The value tier of the same screen family for European buyers. Straightforward kits and quick fitting make it the sensible choice for screening many windows at once.
The doorway specialist of the network. Where a fixed panel cannot work, its walk-through screens cover balcony doors, terrace doors and busy entries.
Sweden's famous home furnishing retailer. IKEA is not a screen specialist, but its stores and site carry seasonal home items and it is where many Swedes look first for anything house-related.
Yes, and they suit them well. The screen sits on the outside face of the frame while the window swings inward, so you can open and close the window without touching the mesh. Measure the flat frame face where the strip will sit.
The season is short but it is also the only season Swedes live with windows open, often around the clock in July. A magnetic screen takes minutes to fit, costs little compared to fixed frames and comes off again in autumn.
Standard mesh stops mosquitoes and flies. For knott and other tiny biters common in Norrland, choose the finest mesh grade offered and make sure the magnetic strip seals continuously with no gaps at the corners.
Pull each screen off, wash it in mild soapy water, dry it fully and store it flat, for example under a bed or on a wardrobe shelf. The receptor strip stays on the frame ready for spring.
Yes. The strips are adhesive-backed, so nothing is drilled and nothing damages the frame. When you move out, the screens come with you and the frame is left as found, which keeps landlords happy.
That is the main use case in Sweden. The magnets hold a continuous seal whether the window is open an hour or all of a light June night, and the mesh passes the cool evening air the whole time.
No. The screen mounts on one flat face of the frame, so glazing depth is irrelevant. What matters is a clean, flat surface a couple of centimetres wide for the receptor strip.
Yes, measure in millimetres and measure every window separately, even ones that look identical. Swedish houses often mix window generations, and a few millimetres of difference changes which kit size fits best.
Barely. Standard mesh reads as a very light tint, and dark mesh is actually easier to see through in bright light. You keep the long summer light and lose the insects, not the view.
Usually yes. Older stuga frames just need a clean, dry, flat spot for the strip; wipe off flaking paint or dust first so the adhesive bonds. Custom cutting handles the odd sizes older cottages tend to have.
Sweden compresses a year of outdoor living into about ten weeks. When the warmth finally arrives, every window in the house opens and tends to stay open, through long evenings that barely get dark. The mosquitoes know the schedule as well as you do.
Magnetic fly screens match the Swedish rhythm better than any fixed system: fit them in May, forget them all summer, store them in September.
Visitors assume a northern country has few insects, and Swedes know better. Warm, still evenings near water bring mosquitoes in numbers, and the further north you go the worse the biting midges get. Because the season is short, homes are not built with the fixed screening you see in Australia or America. That leaves a gap magnetic screens fill neatly: proper mesh protection for the weeks you actually need it, without permanent hardware on windows that spend most of the year sealed against the cold.
The magnetic format turns screening into a seasonal routine, like swapping to summer tyres. The receptor strip stays on the frame year-round and is barely visible. The mesh panel snaps on in seconds in May and pulls off in September, gets a wash, dries and stores flat over winter. Stored mesh avoids months of UV and weather it does not need to endure, so panels last more seasons. Spring refitting takes minutes for a whole house once the strips are in place.
Most Swedish windows open inward or tilt, which is the friendliest layout for magnetic screens. The mesh sits on the frame face and never collides with the sash, so you open, close and air the room without touching the screen. Measure the flat face where the strip will sit, in millimetres, window by window. Mixed window generations are common in Swedish houses, so resist the urge to measure one window and multiply by six.
Order from the Swedish store first, use the European hub for unusual cases, and have the whole house ready before Midsummer. The mosquitoes will not wait, and neither should the screens.
