Window Blind and Fly Screen Combo

· Posted: 25.08.2022 · #1

Hi,

In the attached images is a window screen which is torn a little on one side. I presume that either the screen and roller can be bought and fitted or the entire blind and fly screen unit can be bought (dimensions 102cmx52cm) and screwed in to replace the existing one.

I've been looking in a couple of shops including charles camping but nothing showing. Could someone tell me what these are actually called for search purposes ? Or even better would anyone have a link to a shop with a good selections of these window covers

Thanks Paul.

They look like Seitz window, they will probably have a code or seize in one of the corners,

Thanks guys. It's seitz alright. Very small range of these blinds on leisure shop direct though. The size i have (1020x520) doesn't appear to be showing anywhere. I guess that's what can happen with older models.

Will look tomorrow for a specific marking and try searching with that. I gather also that a larger frame is good too once there is room for it.

Have a look at some of these sites to be sure you have the correct xsize and any code numbers.

Thanks. That is good to know however I suspect the markings on my Seitz window pre date this system. They are probably the original 1998 windows that would have come with the van

There is a good bit of space around the frame. I'll probably take the internal frame off later today and have a good look at it. An internal frame a few cms larger looks like it would fit though it may look a a bit odd with the one on the other side

Just as well I took the screen frame off. It actually screws into the window frame rather than the surround panel, they would have come as a single unit. This means that a replacement screen frame would need to be the exact same dimensions.

I suspect I may have more of a chance getting a new roller than screen frame. Having said that the tear is small and doesn't impede the action and taking it off enabled me the clean the blind properly as I could support the back whilst scrubbing hard. This particular window was beside the stove which probably accounts for the blind being a lot dirtier than others.
