While we protect ourselves from heat loss in heated rooms in winter by sealing windows well, in summer we do everything we can to be able to sleep at night with the window open and enjoy the fresh air during the day. Of course, leaving the window open at night is not a problem either, but it certainly won’t prevent the invasion of annoying insects that can make our lives miserable. Itchy mosquito bites or a fly buzzing around your ear in the morning? Nothing pleasant, but there is a solution for everything. Many people reach for special insecticides or insect repellents, but the best solution in this case will definitely be to install mosquito nets on the windows.
How to choose a mosquito net for a window?
Mosquito screens are widely available and manufacturers offer them as roller screens, framed screens or standalone products. In any case, it is worth knowing what to look out for when choosing them. There are several important features that a good mosquito screen should have. Protection. A mosquito net must, above all, provide maximum protection against insects, i.e. the size of its openings should gradually keep insects out. Wind resistance. In this case, you should pay attention to the quality of the material the mosquito net is made of. It should be of high quality so that it does not get damaged by strong winds. Transparency. A fly screen is supposed to protect you from insects, but it should not block daylight. Therefore, it should be made of transparent fabric. Although some people choose to use insecticides or insect repellents, most homes have mosquito screens installed. They are popular because they have many advantages, as many people have already discovered. Why are we increasingly reaching for this type of insect protection? First of all, because they are practical and fulfil their function.
Mosquito screens for windows effectively protect us from insect infestations, which can be very bothersome during the summer. Thanks to the installed mosquito nets, we can sleep peacefully at night with the window open without worrying that a mosquito bite will wake us up from our sweet sleep. During the day, we can enjoy the fresh air without inviting buzzing flies inside. Importantly, mosquito screens can be installed in both hinged and tilt-and-turn windows as well as in balcony doors. Therefore, anyone, regardless of the type of windows they have, can install this window screen in their home. Unlike blinds, shutters or other window coverings, the insect screen is very easy to install. It is attached to the window frame using special movable hooks. You can certainly do it without the help of a professional and the hooks on which the mosquito net is mounted do not affect the structure of the window. Another advantage of a fly screen is that it looks very good. We all pay attention to the appearance of our windows. That is why manufacturers have created a wide range of colours to choose from. We can easily find something suitable for our interior, whether it is a mosquito net in white, brown, oak or mahogany. Another big advantage is that once the insect screen is installed, it does not get in the way of roller blinds or curtains, which is very important for those who like to decorate their windows in this way. It is also very easy to look after. After removing the mosquito net, simply clean it with warm water and washing-up liquid. It is also worth noting that for pet owners living on higher floors, the mosquito net can have another very important function. Namely, it will protect animals from getting out and falling through an open window. The mosquito net is strong enough to stop a pet that wants to escape through an open window.
