Insect screens for windows

Insect screens - Features

Insect screens prevent insects from entering the home, an issue we face from early spring to late autumn. Various insecticides are available, but most are chemical and can cause allergic reactions. Insect screens eliminate the need for chemicals by providing a fine mesh barrier, even against the smallest insects.

Window and door insect screens help maintain peace at home during active insect seasons. They are especially useful for homes near water bodies or green areas. Insects not only disturb but can be dangerous for allergy sufferers or carry germs. Opening windows during warm months attracts insects, but mosquito screens prevent their entry.

Insect screens do not hinder window and door use and are designed to be aesthetically pleasing. The high quality of materials and range of colours ensure they blend with both interior decor and external façades.

Types and Installation of Insect Screens

An insect screen must be custom-sized for effectiveness. The Knall store provides a Measurement section for proper sizing. Screens come in two types: framed fly screen and roll-up fly screen. The framed mosquito screen uses a special collar or magnet, while the roll-up screen operates like a window blind with a chain mechanism. Both types use a fine mosquito net mesh in an aluminium cassette and are suitable for various window types.

Protection is provided by a mesh with 1x1 mm holes, made of fibreglass coated with PVC, making it resistant to weather and mechanical damage. Modern screens use durable aluminium profiles and come in colours to match the building's scheme.
