Shop Self Adhesive Magnetic Tape 12mm x 10mtr side B. Free delivery on eligible orders of ยฃ20 or more. Review: Perfect for fly screens - I upped my game on creating flyscreens this year. Up until now I've used velcro but saw magnetic tape mentioned in a review for the flyscreen mesh itself so figured I'd give it a go. This is perfect, sticks well to UPVC and has also has stuck well to the mesh although I may add a couple of staples or extra glue to ensure it lasts all summer as mesh isn't generally an ideal surface to stick to. When you use velcro the screens are harder to open so when you want to open/close the window it can sometimes pull the velcro away from the mesh/window but with this magnetic tape it's a breeze as you're not having to rip it apart. (see short video) You have to buy the Tape A and Tape B separately - it would be nice if they came as a pack - but less than 6 quid is a really good price for a 10 metre roll especially with free postage. I managed to do 4 top windows out of this roll and I've ordered a second batch for remaining windows I need to do. 10 metres sounded a lot when ordering but I really should have measured around all the windows first as my smallest window (pictured) took 220cm of a roll which surprised me a little! It's easy to cut and it did let me pull away from window to adjust it when I was putting it up as I'd not immediately pressed it down firmly, just lightly laid in on the surface. I'm happy to recommend this tape, it does exactly what I need it to and it does it well. I'll report back in a couple of months on how it lasts. (I've added this review to both Tape A and Tape B purchases) Review: Great product - This is not a fancy 3M magnetic strip but as I suspected it does the job. 12mm wide magnetic strip that is not super strong but if enough of the strip is used it will carry a light load. If using A and B then it will be much stronger of course. I just used one side of magnetic on metal to hold up foam insulation on a metal fireplace. The adhesive is good and the magnetic strips are perfect. Having 10metres meant I could really go to town ensuring the foam would stay up.

Easy to cut and good adhesion
Was hoping it was a little stronger but has been acceptable for the project I use it for. I used insect mesh and made a pocket down each side and inserted magnetic strip to both it and the windows; this means the pets and people can push their way through the door and it snaps back to keep the bugs out. We needed velcro at the top but as a seamstress I felt this was one of the best things I have invented ever!!! I would possibly look for a slightly stronger magnet, but it has done the trick in any case!

Omg where has this been all my life?!
I just want to say before I rave about this product, is that I felt like buying A & B was slightly cheeky as when I was assembling this, roll A was sticking to each other on the magnet side.. so I'm not sure if roll B was necessary but oh well I've brought it now so it doesnt matter. Anyways, this is an absolute lifesaver! I used to have velcro and it was an absolute nightmare and mess and kept coming off the mesh etc. I brought new mesh and started all over again. I am so so sooooo happy this exists! I cant believe I've gone all my life being a wuss about bugs when this exists! I'm able to open my windows in summer and enjoy that breeze, I could even keep it open during those hot nights to keep to room temperature ideal for me and baby! As the photo shows, there is a section on my window where there is a little vent thing, but I was able to just about fit the tape above that vent to completely seal any change a bug has to get into my room! I'm so happy, for the first time in years I can open both windows and enjoy the breeze without panic! This is literally one of my favourite things I've brought this year! Thank youuuu!!! ๐๐๐

Great idea but fiddly
Couldnโt get the net to stick to the tape again if I had to re stick

Cheapest I could find
Most magnetic tape came in 2.5 times the price, or even double the price was the next cheapest. This stuff works really well (you need to buy the corresponding A side tape). I've put it around all of my windows for fixing fly netting to prevent bugs during the summer. Easy to cut to size. You have to press it firmly to get it to adhere to the window frame, but this wasn't necessarily an issue. The only slight problem i had was with the shipping - the first time was 4 days after the longest estimated delivery date, but when i emailed the vendor they did promise to sort it out, and the tape did actually turn up the next day.

Perfect for the classroom!
I have purchased this magnetic tape numerous times over the last few years. It is really durable and long lasting. I never have to replace it during the school year. It is really easy to cut with normal scissors and the backing peels off easily...even if the static does make it stick to your fingers afterwards! A tip for use on smaller items, before you stick it down (with the backing still on) bend the tape back on itself to remove the natural bend it has acquired from being rolled up. This means that it won't cause your items (like classroom labels) to bend or curve in the same direction. I have used this in a variety of situations such as on whiteboards, display boards and metal storage cupboards. Easy to attach and stable once in place. The magnets hold strong enough to avoid wobble but will allow easy repositioning.

Better Than I Hoped For!
Purchased A & B to create mesh screen across some of our small windows when open. We live in the sticks and it's insect, arachnid hell. These strips worked absolutely perfect, could not be more happy. Stuck the 'A' strip round the window uPVC frame and they stick brilliantly, solid. I don't get those that say the adhesive is on the weak side? Cut my mesh to size and stuck the 'B' strip round is edge, again the adhesive worked perfectly. So now I just lift the mesh to the window, A & B magnetically click together perfectly with more than enough force. So, window can now be open without us being festooned in creatures. I would highly recommend this product for such projects every time.
