In any region, they try to protect residential premises from insects from the street, be it flocks of mosquitoes or single individuals. The most environmentally friendly and in a safe way protection is mechanical - equipping window and door openings with mesh structures, permanently placed or removable, compactly folding or rigid - in the form of frame sashes of a certain size.
Types of devices for protecting homes from mosquitoes
To know how to install mosquito net– necessary additional accessory window frame, let us consider in more detail the most common designs of these protective devices and their characteristics.
The main task of such nets is to create a barrier to the path of insects from the street to the apartment. Based on this, window and doorways housing for protection against mosquitoes was previously equipped with any mesh material suitable at first glance - gauze, tulle, gauze fabric, fine-mesh steel construction mesh etc. However, it soon became clear that due to certain factors these materials lose their functionality and require repair or replacement.
Some functions of mosquito net devices
To choose the right fabric for mosquito protection, we list the necessary characteristics that it must have:
- the optimal combination of mesh size and the thickness of the base material - creating a barrier in the path of insects while allowing the unhindered passage of air and maintaining sufficient transparency for viewing;
- strength - the ability to withstand random mechanical impacts and wind;
- moisture and heat resistance, ultraviolet resistance - the material preserves the strength characteristics and geometry of the canvas under the influence of atmospheric moisture, summer air temperature and sunlight;
- antistatic properties - to prevent clogging of cell openings with dust attracted by static electricity;
- ease of daily care to maintain the necessary sanitary and hygienic condition;
- safety – absence of harmful emissions into the air.
Based on the above requirements, not all mesh materials are suitable for durable and effective equipping of window and door openings with protection against insects: gauze quickly becomes dirty, stretches and impairs visibility, uncoated steel wire mesh rusts, and fine-mesh nylon mesh accumulates static electricity and becomes clogged. dust. These materials can only be used for a temporary solution to the problem, but quality arrangement Mosquito protection for housing uses special fine-mesh mesh canvases.
Types of mesh for mosquito repellent devices
Mosquito repellent mesh has certain characteristics.
The first of them is cell size , which is in the range of 0.5 – 1.2 mm. As the cell lumen decreases, the protective ability of the mesh increases - less dust will penetrate into the room. But it should be borne in mind that the canvas with cells minimum sizes you need to wash it more often - as it gets dirty, its permeability to air and light quickly deteriorates. Canvas with a cell maximum size There is almost no barrier to dust. That's why the best option when choosing the degree of protection, there will be a mesh with a medium-sized cell - from 0.8 to 1 mm.
The second most important characteristic of a mesh fabric, which is also tied to the cell size, is material of manufacture , from which the canvas is made:
- cotton - with high resistance to ultraviolet radiation and retention capacity (lint on threads), cotton netting for protection against mosquitoes from the outside is rarely used, since the lack of resistance to moisture and mold causes its fragility;
- polyester (nylon) – in the absence of any outstanding individual characteristics canvas made of thread up to 0.8 mm thick, supporting weight up to 4 kg, is quite strong, durable, cheap and therefore most common for external protection against mosquitoes;
Fine mesh mosquito repellent fabrics: on the left – made of cotton, on the right – made of polyester.
- nylon – a polymer for the production of anti-allergenic mesh of complex fine-mesh “anti-dust” weaving, which traps even flower pollen;
- steel thread - fabric woven from steel wire is widely used due to its high strength, but the price of material with a protective zinc coating or stainless steel is quite high;
Mesh material: on the left – “anti-dust”, on the right – “anti-cat” made of stainless steel
- fiberglass (glass fiber coated with PVC) – the best choice, due to the high transparency and strength of the canvas, which does not support combustion and is resistant to all atmospheric factors.
A significant factor when choosing a mesh is also its color , affecting light transmission, transparency and compliance with the interior. A gray canvas is the most transparent for viewing, but if the window is not panoramic, this factor can be sacrificed in favor of the aesthetics of the canvas and choose a mesh of a different color.
Colored mesh fabrics for mosquito protection
If there are pets in the house, it becomes especially important strength cellular canvas, which must withstand the impact of claws, teeth or the weight of pets. Grids that can withstand these factors are combined into "anti-cat" group and are produced from polyester, fiberglass and metal (woven steel and aluminum perforated).
Kinds metal mesh class "anti-cat": 1 - woven steel, 2, 3 - aluminum perforated.
The strength of cellular canvases of this class allows them to be used for mosquito control devices installed both on large format windows and on doorways.
From the products offered modern market, anti-mosquito cloths from such foreign manufacturers as the German Roto (Roto Frank AG), the Danish Velux Group, the Polish Fakro Group and the American Pfeiffer (Phifer & Company) have proven themselves well.
Designs of mesh devices for protection against mosquitoes
Mechanical mosquito protection devices are produced today in many varieties, the difference from each other is often not even noticeable visually. But there are two main groups of such devices:
- frame (frame);
- frameless.
Frame They are a frame of a fixed size and format on which a mesh fabric is attached. On a window or door block Such a sash can be installed in the opening using the following devices:
- plungers (pins on springs);
- loops;
- Z-shaped fastenings;
- corner clamps;
- rotary flag clamps;
- guide rails.
Frameless designs mosquito repellent devices include the following types:
- on sticky mounting tape;
- roll (roller);
- pleated.
If you have basic installation skills, all types of protective devices can be installed. self-installation, simply the installation of each of them is carried out taking into account the individual nuances of the design.
Methods for installing mosquito repellent devices and necessary accessories
Let's see how on one's own install a mosquito net on plastic window, if the protective device is ready or semi-ready (mesh canvas with Velcro).
Installation of a mosquito sash in a window block on plungers
Plungers are a system of movable pins (rods) with closer springs, installed along the perimeter of the sash at its end and holding the frame with the mesh in window opening by focusing on the inner edge.
Important! With the plunger method of fastening, the frame with the mesh is not installed as an overlay on the window block, but in the opening between sealing rubber bands, therefore, the accuracy of measurements of the future frame is especially important - the distance between opposite points between the seal is measured in several places and the average value is taken as the design value. Measurements are usually carried out by the protection manufacturer.
Of all the methods for installing mosquito protection, the plunger method is the most reliable and therefore expensive, but still affordable mounting option.
The manufacturer installs 4 plungers on the protection frame - 2 on each side. By placing the frame in window hole at the installation site, use a marker to mark the drilling points along the pins for installing the mating sleeves. Having drilled 2 holes on one side and installed sleeves in them, install the frame rods in the sockets and rest the pins against the window block on the other side. Once again checking the correct location of the marks applied, make the remaining two holes.
A brush seal is glued along the outer contour of the sash with a mesh to fill the gaps between the window block and the mosquito protection sash.
Locations of spacer plungers and sealing brushes
After installing the remaining response sleeves, the frame with the mesh is installed in place, pushing the plungers into the sockets.
Installing mosquito protection in a window opening on hinges
Window sashes, as a rule, open inward, so a frame with a mosquito net is installed on the window block from the outside - on the trim using self-tapping screws.
Hinges are installed on the protection frame in such a way that their supporting half remains removable downwards when the pins are directed upwards.
Important! If the apartment floor is the first, then the hinges on the sash can be installed so that the axes of their supporting halves are located towards each other or are directed towards opposite sides– with this type of fastening, the frame from the street side can only be removed by unscrewing the screws.
Accessories for swing installation doors: hinges, lock (magnetic and latch)
Having secured the latch and hinges to the frame with screws, the sash is applied to the window block and centered, after which their axial halves and the lock are fixed with self-tapping screws on the frame - it is more convenient to perform this operation with two people and with the help of an electric screwdriver.
Installation of hinges and lock on the sash
A swing installation of mosquito protection is indispensable when equipping doorways with mesh, but it is better to install 3 hinges on the door.
Fastening the frame with a protective mesh to Z-shaped brackets
For this method of installing a sash with a mesh, metal fasteners of a Z-shaped configuration are used, and the elements top position differ from the lower brackets in the dimensions of the pressure shelf.
Z-shaped brackets and their location on the window block
This method of attaching frame mosquito protection is also quite reliable, but the location of the clamps must be precisely adjusted to the height. In addition, it is sometimes necessary to glue additional gaskets into the brackets to ensure a tighter fit of the sash to the block.
Installation begins by fastening the lower clamps with self-tapping screws at a distance of 25 mm from the lower edge of the window opening. Then the height of the frame is set upward from the brackets and another 12-15 mm is added to the risks, after which the upper Z-elements are mounted, which for aesthetics should be located exactly opposite the lower ones.
Z-clamps: lower and upper (with technological gap)
As can be seen from the figures illustrating the plunger and two subsequent methods of installing mosquito flaps, the dimensions of the rod fixation protective frames with the same dimensions window opening will differ to a lesser extent, which must be taken into account if a decision is suddenly made to change the mounting option.
Linking the size of the mesh sash to the dimensions of the opening, depending on the method of installing the protection
Fixing frame protection to corner stops
This method of fastening is a variation of the previous one and differs from it in the location of the brackets and, accordingly, in their design.
Installation of a mosquito frame on the corners - “pockets”
Corner stops, also called pockets, by definition are mounted in places where the corners of the protective frame adjoin the window block, and the elements of the top row differ from the bottom stops. Measurements of the location are made identical to the layout of the Z-brackets.
The location of the top and bottom row of “pockets”
Mounting the frame on “pockets” is a reliable fixation technology and even has an advantage over installation on Z-brackets - the protection frame cannot be moved to the side by a gust of wind.
Mosquito frame with flag clips
The essence of the fixation method is to use rotating brackets, the durability of which depends on their design and material of manufacture.
The sash, equipped for convenience with a crossbar or handles, is located outside the window block. After installing the frame in place, the flags are turned outward beyond the contour and press the frame profile to the binding.
Metal version of flag clamps
Attaching the flags to the frame is not difficult - using self-tapping screws along the perimeter of the sash in increments depending on the size of the opening and the wind load on the window.
Plastic version of rotary flags
This fastening method is inferior in reliability to the previous ones, since the fit of the flags on the sash and the tightness of the frame fixation weaken over time, and therefore the brackets require periodic tightening of the screws.
Installation of a protective sash with a mesh on the guide rails
Plastics are currently being produced window units, the design of which includes a movable sash with a mesh that moves in the opening along guides located outside or inside and which are part of the profile. But such window frames are much more expensive than conventional ones, so it is more advisable to equip the window with a sliding frame yourself.
Window blocks made from a profile designed for industrial installation with mosquito sashes
To equip a window with a sliding sash, you must order the frame itself with a mesh and guides. The height of the protection frame is taken in such a way that there is space left at the top and bottom of the horizontal sections of the window block for mounting the runners, and the width depends on the size of the opening.
The guides can be made of aluminum or plastic and, depending on preference, are attached to the block from the outside or inside.
Important! The slats are installed between each other at a distance that provides a gap of 1-2 mm with the sash on top for free movement of the frame at any time of the year, and strictly parallel to each other.
Samples of installed sliding mosquito protection doors
For easy sliding, the sash is equipped with rollers on the bottom, sliders on the top, and the contour of its junction with the guide is finished on the back side with a brush seal.
Using a tape measure and a building level, the installation of the guides is marked, after which they are fastened with self-tapping screws. Roller fittings and handles are installed on the shutters for ease of movement, after which the protection assembly is inserted into the runners. If the frame moves easily after installation and adheres well to the block, then restrictive plugs are attached to the ends of the guides.
The idea of sliding doors will be more complete if you watch this video:
Installing frameless mosquito net protection on adhesive tape
Of all the existing ways to protect your home from insects and dust, this method is the simplest.
The principle of attaching a protective mesh without a frame to a window opening
Purchase adhesive tape with a length equal to the perimeter of the window opening, and a mesh canvas with the necessary characteristics for the size of the window block with a margin of 3-5 cm in both directions.
Sold and ready-made kits protection of a certain size, including fabric, Velcro and glue.
Components are produced various colors so that the mounted device fits optimally into the interior of the room.
Kit for installing mosquito protection with adhesive tape
Velcro is attached to the profile of the block from the inside with glue - after preparing the base (degreasing and marking along a ruler). It is better to stitch the tape to the canvas sewing machine, having previously turned the edges of the mesh inward.
The technology is simple, functional, cheap and safe.
Rolled (roller) design of a mosquito protection device
This type of device is the most modern both in technical design and visually, which determines its high cost - from 5 thousand rubles. per square meter.
The design consists of a horizontally mounted cylindrical box, in which on the c axis return spring a blade is placed that extends along guides with brush seals to the required length if you pull the handle located on the outside.
External view and internal design of roll-up mosquito protection
Roller shutter devices are produced in industrial conditions, but there are restrictions on dimensions: height - up to 250 cm, width - up to 200 cm.
Important! With many advantages this design has a serious drawback - only a regular mesh can be installed in it, and “anti-dust”, “anti-pollen” and “anti-cat” canvases cannot be used.
Roller shutter protection against insects: on the left – at the installation stage, on the right – installed in place.
Anti-mosquito net of the pleated system
This type of protection is new on the domestic market. Each device is manufactured for a specific size of window opening, while the maximum dimensions are limited to 5 meters in width and 3 m in height, which allows them to equip public, administrative or sports premises with large glazed areas.
Schemes of possible canvas movement depending on the design of the protection
The operating principle of the device is to cover the opening with a mesh folded in the shape of an “accordion” in a vertical or horizontal direction (depending on the design).
The design solution of the device imposes restrictions on the material of the canvas - the “pleated” protection uses polyamide canvas, the characteristics of which, however, are quite high.
Types of cellular canvas for pleated protection
Advantages of the pleated device:
- the ability to service large openings;
- high degree of compactness when folded;
- durability;
- wide choice of colors.
Pleated type of protection in working condition
Despite the apparent complexity internal structure, “pleated” is quite possible for independent installation, since when assembled it is a rectangular block, ready for installation on a window frame.
Installation diagram of one of the types of mosquito protection of the “pleated” type against domestic manufacturer"SK-F" (SKF).
In addition to high technical and aesthetic characteristics, “pleated” stands out among other types of protection and is priced from 8 thousand rubles. for 1 square meter.

Conclusion
In most regions of Russia, mosquito protection for door and window openings is essential accessory. Based on this, domestic and foreign manufacturers offer these products in a wide price range that can satisfy consumers even with low purchasing power. Therefore, by giving priority to functionality, you can protect your home from insects and dust for a very small amount.
The main point of the article
- The most environmentally friendly and safe protection against mosquitoes is mechanical (fencing) means, therefore mesh canvases are widely in demand to solve this problem.
- Not only housing, but also most premises for any other purpose needs protection from mosquitoes and dust, so manufacturers of mosquito protection offer devices of various functionality and performance classes.
- Despite the varying degrees of complexity of mosquito protection devices, the vast majority of them are suitable for DIY installation.
- Ready-to-install products industrial production have installation instructions, compliance with which guarantees the efficiency and durability of the device. If the accessory is made independently or in a small craft workshop, then you need to know some of the nuances of its installation that are characteristic of this design.
- Following the recommendations of professionals will protect against damage to the material and ensure long-term and effective protection rooms from dust and insects.
This article is devoted to the simplest devices that allow you to protect living quarters from the penetration of mosquitoes and other annoying insects - mosquito nets.
According to their design and method of fastening, models of mosquito nets are divided into the following groups:
- removable mesh in frame design;
- sliding nets;
- roll structures;
- with magnetic mount;
- with tape fastening.
Mosquito nets do not require special care and are easily installed in window and door openings. Their maintenance, performed no more than twice a year, most often comes down to simply washing the fabric with a mild cleaning solution.
Functional purpose
A typical mosquito net is a classic aluminum profile with a fine-mesh fabric of inconspicuous colors stretched over it. Concerning functional purpose mosquito cloth, then with the help of this simple device you can:
- Protect your home from various insects entering it.
- Prevent dust and small particles from entering the room plant origin, which are the cause of allergic diseases.
- Protect pets from accidentally falling from an open window.
Installation of a ready-made mosquito net will not require any special skills and will cost much less than calling a specialist to your home.
Frame mesh with fastening elements
The type of fastening of the mesh at the installation site depends on where you are going to mount it. To attach this device to a modern plastic window, for example, you will need a set of mounting brackets and several self-tapping screws.
If the kit does not include ready-made fasteners, installation can be done in the following sequence:
- First of all, you need to try on the finished frame with a mesh at the installation site, which will allow you to mark its attachment points in the window opening.
- Next, you can proceed to installing the central and corner mounting brackets on the frame in accordance with the previously made markings.
- After this, the mounting of the mating parts of the fastening brackets is carried out, secured at the designated points of the window opening using self-tapping screws of a suitable size. In this case, a small gap (about 10 mm) will need to be left under the upper fastening elements, making it easier to insert the edge of the frame into the window space.
Installation of mosquito nets in balcony openings is carried out by simply hanging them on hinges and installing special retaining fittings, designed in the form of magnetic clamps. First, the locations for installing the hinges are marked and secured using self-tapping screws, and then (after hanging the frame and trying on) in the right places Fixing magnets are installed.
There are often situations in which there is a need to place an order for the production of a new mosquito net (in case of wear or damage to the old frame, for example). In this case, you will need to make all installation measurements yourself. To do this, you will need to take the dimensions of the open window opening (its width and height) and add 2 cm and 3 cm to the results obtained, respectively.
After completing the order, you should receive from the performing company a ready-made frame with a mosquito net complete with a set of fastening elements for it. This kit should include two pairs of fasteners to be installed on the top and bottom edges of the structure. When installing, try not to confuse the upper and lower sets of fasteners, while paying attention to the fact that the upper strips are noticeably wider than the lower ones.
Hanging on existing fasteners
If there are elements on the window frame internal fastening the mesh frame is taken by the side edges (or special handles) and simply placed with its upper edge under the brackets while simultaneously lifting the entire frame upward until it stops. The bottom edge of the mesh is then inserted into fasteners, located at the bottom of the structure, after which the frame is simply lowered into them and aligned to the installation site.

Mosquito nets should be installed in calm weather.
To install (install fasteners) a mosquito net you will need: a tape measure, a pencil, a screwdriver or screwdriver, a set of fasteners and screws.
For your safety, it is advisable to have an assistant hold the mosquito net when you measure and screw the fasteners and use the open adjacent flap, if there is one.
Mosquito net fastenings are screwed with self-tapping screws onto the street side of the window, 2 pcs. on top and 2 pcs. below.
Recommendations: annually, before installing mosquito nets, visually inspect the fastenings (corners) for yellowing. You should also try to swing each of the brackets by hand. If you hear a characteristic cracking sound or feel significant deformation, the fasteners should be replaced. Otherwise, the mosquito net may simply fly away.
Important!!! If a metal grill is installed on the window, then installation of the mosquito net is possible only with the disassembly of the mosquito net and subsequent assembly at the installation site (outside the window).
There are several ways to install mosquito net fasteners (depending on the free width of the protruding profile on the street side of the frame).
Standard method.
Open the window sash where the mosquito net will be installed. WITH outside windows, install the mosquito net fastenings using self-tapping screws, as shown in the figure.Important!!! The length of self-tapping screws or self-tapping screws should be less than 30 mm, since longer ones can rest against the reinforcement running inside the PVC window.
The top and bottom mounts are different. Longer fasteners are placed upward.
To the bottom window profile on the outside we attach 2 lower fasteners for the mosquito net profile (they are smaller in size than the upper ones) and either mark with a pencil the points for drilling for the fasteners and drill, or immediately tighten the screws with a drill, take the screw size 3.9x16 or 3.9x19 mm.
To make the work easier, the fasteners can be glued to the profile with double-sided tape, just don’t forget about the screws!
Holding the mosquito net by the frame, we apply it to the outside of the window, place it on the lower fastenings and check the dimensions. We install the upper brackets at the top of the window profile; it is most convenient to attach them first with double-sided tape, then tighten the screws with your hands free.
The location of their installation in height can be determined either by marking with a pencil the top of the mesh installed on the lower fastenings, or by calculating - the size from the supporting part of the lower bracket to the supporting part of the upper bracket should be 8 mm greater than the height of the mosquito net.
Having installed all the fastenings, we take the mosquito net by the frame and stick it out of the window, first insert it into the upper fastenings until it stops. When correct installed mounts the bottom of the mesh should pass almost flush over the lower fastenings. Then we lower the mesh down onto the lower fastenings and check how firmly it holds on the fastenings. If there is the slightest doubt, it is better to lower the top fastenings for a tighter fit of the mosquito net.
Take the mosquito net first by the frame in the middle on both sides and stick it out through the light opening of the window. 
Not by the handles, as some would-be experts advise (the handles are rolled up with a rubber cord and with an awkward movement they will break out and simply remain in your hands), but by the frame. 
Place the mosquito net (holding the frame on both sides) by the fasteners from above until it stops (picture below: position<1>), then grab one handle with one hand, then grab the other handle with the other hand, press bottom part mosquito net to the frame and place it in the lower mounts (position<2>).
Be sure to check that the mosquito net is wrapped around the lower fasteners and not standing on them. See the picture below. 
To remove the mosquito net, you need to repeat all the steps in reverse order. take hold by the handles, lift up as far as it will go. Then grab the frame with one and then the other hand, move the bottom of the net a little from the frame and lower it down (until the upper fasteners come out of engagement) and bring the mosquito net into the room.
If there is a sash nearby, then it will be more convenient to grab the bottom of the mesh frame through the adjacent sash and, lifting it up as far as it will go, move the bottom of the mesh away from the frame and, holding the frame with both hands, bring the mosquito net into the room.
Non-standard installation of mosquito net No. 1.
Unlike the standard installation of a mosquito net, the non-standard one differs only in the installation of the upper fasteners on the sides of the net (used when the top of the free frame profile is less than 5 cm):
The process of installing and removing the mosquito net is the same as with the standard installation method.
Non-standard installation of mosquito net No. 2.
It is used when there is 3-4 cm on top of the free profile. First, the upper fasteners are screwed (as with a standard installation) as high as possible. Then the mosquito net is placed against them all the way and we mark the bottom of the net with a pencil. We fasten the fasteners to 5 mm. below the mark.The mosquito net will be inserted on the side. We take it by the frame, insert it first into the upper mount, then into the lower one. It is advisable to push the mosquito net in without distortion (try to keep it strictly vertical).
Non-standard installation of mosquito net No. 3.
PIt is used when there is less than 3 cm at the top and there are two opening doors nearby.First, the upper fastening is screwed to the side on the vertical part of the frame profile (farthest from the adjacent sash). You can retreat 10-15 cm from the upper corner (it would be better to press the middle of the mosquito net).
When winter ends, the warm season comes, insects become active on the street, which, intentionally or not, strive to get into a person’s home. The easiest way to do this is through a window or door. Therefore, it is natural that a person seeks to protect these “channels”. AND modern solution In this vein is the use of so-called mosquito nets.
They allow you to keep windows and doors open so that the room can enter Fresh air, but protect from insects.
Therefore, it is worth considering this invention in more detail, including the features of its installation.
About the article:
Kinds
- removable frame;
- sliding frame;
- pleated;
- roll type;
- secured with tape or magnetic tape;
- "anti-cat";
- "anti-dust";
- for doors or windows.
Let's look at the main types in more detail.
"Anti-cat"
If you have pets at home, then when installing a mosquito net, you should also think about their safety. There is a special model for this – “anti-cat”. It is created from special strong threads, thanks to which the product can withstand the most severe loads. Consequently, the same cat will not be able to tear or damage the mesh. At the same time, the product is equipped with an additional fastening that improves safety. And you shouldn’t take off such a net even for the winter; its strength is enough to withstand such severe weather. The quality will not deteriorate.
Sliding
Suitable not only for regular windows, but also for terraces and balconies. This mesh looks like two sliding parts that can open and close. In this case, there must be special guides on the opening for moving parts. And thanks gray color visibility from the windows is not impaired.
Rolled
Most effective solution. They look like a twisted roll placed in a box. It is mounted above the window. An important advantage of this design is its versatility. After all, the mesh looks good and is convenient to use. There is nothing complicated about installing such a mosquito net. This does not require special care. And, of course, there are some downsides - high cost.
"Anti-dust"
Today, allergies are a fairly common phenomenon among different layers population. Therefore, for such cases, you should think about yourself by installing an anti-dust mesh. This product is created from a dense material that traps even the smallest particles. True, this is where the disadvantage comes from - rapid contamination. However, it is very easy to clean. First, the surface is washed with soapy water. warm solution, and then wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
Such a mosquito net does not deteriorate the appearance of the window, and at the same time allows good transmission. Sun rays. And its main disadvantage is the high price. Otherwise everything is very decent.
For doors
There are also such models. They not only protect the room from insects, but also play the role of a regulator of incoming air. Such products are installed on hinges. Fixation occurs with magnets. A similar mosquito net on the door is a guarantee of the absence of drafts. Of course, if this was taken care of in the rest of the premises.
Fastening
Speaking about mosquito nets, we cannot help but touch upon the issue of their fastening. And it could be like this:
- using ears;
- on hinges;
- on plunger pins;
- on z-shaped fasteners.
The last option is the most successful in terms of reliability and ease of use. There is no need to make additional holes in the frame. This fastening can be used for both wooden and plastic windows. The only drawback is the loose fit of the mesh. Thanks to the remaining small gaps, particularly resourceful insects can still enter the room.
The pins are screwed into window frame. Therefore, the fastening is reliable. The elements are made of stainless steel. This solution allows the mesh to fit tightly to the frame, as well as to easily install and dismantle it.
Hinged mounts are good for doors. In this case, a reinforced profile is used, because the load on the frame is greater.
Which mount to choose?
It all depends on the location where the installation will be performed. For a plastic window you will need four fasteners and eight screws.
To remove the screen from the window, take the plastic holders with both hands and gently pull them up. First, the mesh will come out of the lower holders, then it should be bent, and then removed from the upper ones. After this, the net remains to be taken into the room.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated in installing and dismantling a mosquito net, even if a plastic window is used. Therefore, in most cases there is no point in turning to specialists to perform such procedures - your knowledge and skills should be sufficient.
The great Russian poet A.S. Pushkin wrote about the annoyingness of insects: “Oh, red summer, I would love you if it weren’t for... mosquitoes and flies!” Indeed, in the warm season you cannot hide from insects even at home if its windows do not have reliable protection. By installing a mosquito net, you will forget about these problems forever.
Advantages of mosquito nets
Mosquito nets for windows can be purchased online, like any other product. This is not only profitable, but also convenient. When ordering something, a prudent buyer always tries to evaluate the pros and cons of a future purchase. By installing a mosquito net, you will forget:
- about unpleasant mosquito bites, which are especially unpleasant for children; . annoying flies flying over dining table;
- poplar fluff flying into the apartment in June;
- small debris that can enter the house through the window.
Many companies now offer window screen manufacturing services.
If you decide to entrust the installation of a mosquito net to a professional, you will not have to worry about how to measure correctly, what type of net to give preference to, and other difficulties associated with installing it on a window or window. doorway. If you don’t want to wait for the master, pick up a tape measure and start measuring! The easiest way to measure a mosquito net is to find out the height and width of the opening window sash. It will suit you if, when you open the window, there will be at least 25 millimeters on the side from the light opening to its edge and at least 35 millimeters on top.
What you need to know if you decide to install a mosquito net yourself
To ensure that the mosquito net is installed correctly, you will need professional advice:
- the mesh is attached to the window with outside using special upper and lower fasteners, which are sold complete with it;
- so that insects cannot penetrate the cracks between the mesh and the window, it must extend onto the frame;
- You can find out the size for ordering the mesh in this way: by measuring the height of the light opening, add 3 centimeters to it, and do the same with the width.
How to install a window screen yourself
Once you have the mosquito net, start installing the fasteners. It will take no more than a quarter of an hour and occurs in several stages:
1. lower (smaller) fasteners are installed - mark with a marker or pencil the points located 2 centimeters below the light opening and fix them with an electric drill or screwdriver;
2. from the place where the lower fastenings are installed, measure the length of the mesh and add 1 centimeter - this will be the place where the upper fastenings should be located;
3. Check the reliability of the fasteners by gently pressing on them.
Now you can install the grid itself.
The instructions prescribe the following actions:
- grab the handles and pull the frame with the mesh out;
- place the upper fasteners inside the frame;
- secure them over the seal;
- Fix the lower brackets in the same way.
The window screen is installed! As you can see, this is not so difficult to do. It is removed in reverse order.
