I've purchased this kit and am absolutely delighted with it. I actually have open-outwards windows (contrary to the first reviewer) and I can vouch that the screen does indeed suit open-outwards windows too. It's simple to do this: the screen uses Velcro strips and so any edge of the screen can easily be unattached temporarily to access your window latch behind the screen. Open or close your window, then smooth the screen back into place. Very easy to do this.
Once in place, the mesh is so fine that it is practically invisible. The narrow strips of Velcro fix firmly to both wood and UPVC window frames and there is enough Velcro supplied to completely encircle the window. The mesh is easy to cut to shape (I recommend leaving a little excess for easier fitting).
The only difficulty I can envisage with open-outwards windows are the older-style wooden casement designs that use a metal horizontal bar to prop open the window. This bar will jut inwards through the mesh screen, and so you will need to allow slack in the mesh so that you can tuck it around this bar. More modern windows don't tend to use these prop bars and don't present this problem.

As noted above this product consists of a roll of velcro with a self-adhesive back and a big piece of mesh fabric which is cut to size. We have uPVC windows and this product stuck easily to them. Unfortunately it seems to come unstuck with as much ease despite them being very clean as advised in the product instructions (they peel at the corners as Mr Cheng describes in an earlier review).
We have windows which open outwards and this screen was compatible with these, however the mesh did become a bit tatty and frayed with repeated opening and closing. However as it only cost a few quid, I'd expected this!
If you don't mind re-sticking the velcro daily, this screen is modestly effective for the price.

Good value for money and just what I required. The only down side is that the sticky back of the velcro doesn't stay put. Just used a couple of drawings pins for each strip so now it's O.K.

for a temporary solution
easy to use, but still very temporary solution that should be repeated every year.. the holders can be fall down after 1-2 months on the PVC..

not as good as hoped
had high hopes for this product, unfortunately velcro did not stay stuck to window frame and the netting ripped quite easily.

Non-sticky "sticky strips"
Even after cleaning the window frame as instructed & drying it, the "self-adhesive" strips wouldn't adhere & I thought about using superglue! What a useless product!
