Pull down insect screens for awning windows?

12 years ago

Hi all,

We have several wood awning windows in our 1940s home and I am looking for some sort of pull down insect screens we can use with them. Is there something that can be mounted to the top and pulled down like a roman shade and secured in the bottom with magnets or something?

phantom screens and a couple of other brands sells retractable insect screens for windows and doors. they are all made of aluminum though some places can do faux wood finish on them
