We advise you to hang the door curtain somewhere in the attic or in the shed during the winter, so that the curtain will hang straight when you use it again in the spring. Of course, you can also put it away somewhere, but we advise you to do that 'in a nice loop'.
Fly curtain selection aid
We want to make your choice for the fly curtain that suits you best as easy as possible. That is why we have added an indication with symbols to each door curtain:
Premium;
When you compare the different fly screen door curtains from our collection, what position does each curtain have on the price-quality comparison ranking?
Density;
Which of the fly curtains actually closes the doorway best, and therefore most effectively stops annoying flies?
Transparency;
Can you see through it clearly once the curtain is hanging, or does the curtain close the doorway well in terms of visibility?
Sound;
Does the curtain make a lot of noise when walking through it, or is the curtain in question low-noise due to the material used?

Premium
All La Tenda door curtains are of excellent quality, but there are of course differences in the overall experience. When you compare the different fly screen door curtains from our collection, what position does each curtain have on the price-quality comparison ranking?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Absolute top notch
⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Very good
⭐⭐⭐ – Good
⭐⭐ – Moderate
⭐ – Basic
Density
Which of the fly curtains actually closes the doorway best, and therefore most effectively stops annoying flies? The density of a La Tenda door curtain is actually the result of 3 technical elements.The number of cords, the diameter of the cords, and the shape of the cords.These 3 criteria together determine whether a curtain as a whole closes the doorway well or less well
✋✋✋✋✋ – very dense
✋✋✋✋ – dense
✋✋✋ – medium dense
✋✋ – moderate dense
✋ – not really
Transparency
The degree of transparency of a La Tenda door curtain also depends on 3 criteria. Is the material used transparent or opaque in itself? Are dark colours or light colours used? And not unimportant, the distance between the cords also determines whether or not there is a lot of light transmission.A lot of light transmission may not be desirable for you. You may be looking for a curtain that can serve as a sunshade or as a room divider. Then let yourself be guided by the models that received the qualification 1 star from us in this category..
👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️ – very transparent – lets almost all the light through
👁️👁️👁️👁️ – reasonably transparent – lets a lot of light through
👁️👁️👁️ – average – lets enough light through
👁️👁️ – opaque – lets little light through
👁️ – very opaque – hardly lets any light through
Sound
And finally, how much noise does the curtain make when you walk through it. This criterion can also influence the choice for one or another fly curtain. A fly curtain made of aluminum chains makes much more noise than, for example, a door curtain made of much softer PVC wires.
🔈🔈🔈🔈🔈 – very loud
🔈🔈🔈🔈 – quite loud
🔈🔈🔈 – slight sound
🔈🔈 – almost soundless

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, that is possible. We sell various sizes of G-profiles. You attach these to the ceiling, after which you simply hang the door curtain ‘in there’.
The La Tenda door curtains are weatherproof, so yes, you can leave them outside when it rains or is windy, for example.
This can be done quite easily. The profiles used are made of aluminium, and can therefore be easily shortened with a hacksaw. Most La Tenda curtains are made of PVC strands, and these can be easily cut to the desired length with scissors, approximately 2 cm above the ground.
Each CASA door curtain is equipped with two or three eyelets at the top. A screw or nail fits through these, so hanging is quite easy.
Each La Tenda door curtain is supplied with an aluminium h-mounting profile. This ‘chair’-shaped profile is attached above the door, on or above the door frame. When you have fixed that, you just click the curtain profile over it easily.
The door curtains are available in the sizes 90x210cm, 100x230cm, 120x230cm and 140x230cm.
The curtains of 120 and 140cm wide can be supplied on request with centimetre accuracy.
Tip: The new La Tenda PRO curtains are also available in a room-high length of 250cm.
La Tenda PVC curtains need time and especially heat to hang out 100% properly. In warm summer weather this goes much faster than with a door curtain that is purchased in a colder month. You can speed up this hanging process by dividing the curtain into 2 halves in 2 bundles tied together after you have hung it. Then heat the bottom 1½ meters of both bundles for about 10 minutes with hot air from a hair dryer or hot air gun. The heat makes the strands supple and they hang nicely straight due to gravity.
Please note: Do not leave the heat source in one place for too long or TOO close to it, because then the PVC can melt.
