When ordering from two mosquito nets in our company, we leave and measure completely free of charge (when ordering nets with installation).
If you need to order grids without installation or place an order for only one grid, then we will help you measure this material yourself.
To remove the correct mesh sizes, it is necessary to open the window sash and measure the light opening in the frame in width and height (opening from seal to seal).
In this case, it is better to stick to the lower or upper part of the light opening, since the middle can have a “run-up” of up to 10 mm if the frame is not correctly installed, which can significantly affect the result and the grids may not fit.
40 mm are added to the light opening to the width and height of the light opening, since the aluminum frame from which the mesh frame is made has a width of 20 mm and it covers all possible bends of the profile.
In addition, it is worth paying attention to how much the frame is deepened into the wall of the house from the street, and whether there is the necessary 20mm on each side. If the frame is strongly recessed into the wall and protrudes by less than 20mm, then you can add not 40mm to the light opening, but 30-35mm.
When measuring mosquito doors or measuring mosquitoes on single-leaf windows, you must also measure the width from wall to wall on the street side, and make sure that the size of the net, after adding to the light opening, is no larger than the opening between the walls. Otherwise, the mesh may not fit into the opening.
These rules for measuring mosquito nets on already installed windows are valid for both plastic and aluminum frames. By following the measurements above, you will be able to take the correct measurements and your mosquito nets will fit perfectly on the windows.
In order not to worry about the size of your grids, you can call our measurer and installer, who will unmistakably take measurements and yours will perfectly fit the windows.

Situations are common when they are installed not simultaneously with a plastic window, but after a certain period of time. The difficulty lies in the fact that a standard mosquito net may not fit the dimensions of the window, in which case it is necessary to know how to measure the mosquito net, which will be made to order, in accordance with the dimensions of the customer's plastic window.
Why is it important to correctly measure a plastic window for a mosquito net
Incorrect measurement can lead to negative consequences, for example, if the mesh is too large for a window, it will be problematic to install it, and if it is too small, gaps will appear through which insects and foreign objects from the street will enter the house.
How to correctly measure mosquito nets?
To perform measurements, you will need a regular tape measure and a notebook with a pen to record the results (with millimeter accuracy).
The main stages of measurements:
- Measurements are taken on an open window, so it is necessary to open the sash on which the mesh will be attached;
- Then the width and height of the light opening are measured (along the edge where the sealing gum is located);
- At the end, measurements are made of the outer dimension of the frame in order to make sure that a particular type of mesh is suitable for installation on the selected window.
Types of attachment of mosquito nets: features of their measurements
The design of mosquito nets is usually the same and consists of an aluminum frame and a fiberglass web. In order for the mesh to fit snugly against the window, due attention should be paid to the quality of fastening. Mosquito nets have different types of attachment, so first you need to decide which type you decided to install:
Mount types:
- Z-shaped fasteners. They are especially popular because they provide high reliability of fastening. Fastening takes place using nickel-plated brackets that fit snugly to the frame;
- Plunger (rod) fastenings. This universal mount is suitable for all types of windows. The plunger is a metal pin with a spring (adjustable in length) on which the mesh frame is attached;
- Mounts "pockets". Less common mount, because it does not provide adequate protection.
How to calculate the size of a mosquito net based on measurements
In order to calculate the dimensions of the future mosquito net with a z-shaped mount for plastic windows (see), it is necessary to add 20-25 mm to the obtained height and width of the opening. In addition, it is important to understand whether it is possible to install a grid with such a mount. To do this, take into account the depth of the design of the window box, it can be strongly wound up under a quarter, so there will be difficulties during installation. In this case, it would be more appropriate to install a mesh with plunger fasteners, but it is unsuitable in several cases: if the frame bevel is round and has a large angle of inclination.
This is due to the fact that during installation, the pins are attached to the frame profile, and given the large bevel, it will not be possible to achieve proper strength and reliability. To calculate the dimensions of the mesh, 5-6 mm are subtracted from the obtained results of the height and width of the opening (under the place for the sealing brush, which, during installation, is mounted around the perimeter of the frame). In order to calculate the size of meshes with "pockets" fastening, it is recommended to contact an experienced specialist.
How to measure a plastic window to install a mosquito net
It is not uncommon for a mosquito net to be ordered some time after the windows have been installed. In fact, if new double-glazed windows were delivered in the autumn, it is quite possible to postpone the cost of a mosquito. But, when the owners still decide to order this necessary window accessory, they are faced with a problem. Manufacturers do not make standard grids. Each of them is made to order, strictly according to the size of the window.
In such a situation there is three options .
- Order a mosquito in the same company that made your windows. Perhaps your order with size data remained in their archive.
- Call a measurer to your house. This means a waste of time and the cost of paying for the departure of the master.
- Measure the window for the mosquito net yourself.
The third option seems to be the most convenient. But before taking measurements, you need to know a few subtleties.
As a rule, frame mosquito nets are installed on plastic windows. They are fairly inexpensive and easy to make. Their design is simple - a fiberglass mesh with a cell of 1 mm is attached to an aluminum frame with a section of 10 * 25 mm. But these accessories differ in the installation method. Depending on the manufacturer, you may be offered different types of mosquitoes:
Before measuring the light opening, decide what type of mosquito you are going to order.
The plunger mount is considered the most effective and durable. The mesh frame is attached to the window with nickel-plated spring pins. They provide a snug fit of the structure and aesthetics outside and inside the room.
Z-mounts- the second most used option. Here, the mosquito structure is attached to the window frame using special metal brackets adjacent to the window seal. This mount is strong enough. But after a couple of years of use, the brackets can become loose and gaps will appear between the mesh frame and the window.
The third type of fastener - "pockets"- is used quite rarely, because it cannot provide a sufficiently snug fit for mosquito protection. The grid for this method is made with a margin for the width and height of the window opening. Here, for accurate measurements, it is still better to contact a specialist. In the other two cases, you are quite capable of calculating the dimensions of this product yourself.
To determine the size of the future mosquito net, you will need a tape measure. Open the window and measure the width and height of the skylight. Measurements must be made along the edge of the sealing gum, which is equipped with all plastic windows. Record the results accurately, down to the millimeter.
Product dimensions are calculated as follows:
To understand whether there is enough space around the frame to mount the mosquito, it is also necessary to take into account the installation depth of the window frame. If from the side of the sash it is too much under the quarter, it may be difficult to install the mesh. Installation will be difficult even if the slopes of the plastic window are made too close to the edge of the frame. Consider these factors when deciding on the type of grid. If the frame design does not allow the installation of z-mounts, you can order a mesh on the plungers.
Installing a mosquito net on pins is possible if the bevel of the outer ledge of your window frame does not have a round shape and too much angle. Since the spring pins are attached to the profile of the window frame itself, with a strong bevel, they will not be able to provide sufficient abutment of the parts.
To calculate the dimensions of the future grid, measure the height and width of the light opening, as in the previous case. Further, subtract 6 mm from the obtained dimensions. This is necessary to leave room for the sealing brush, which is mounted around the perimeter of the mesh frame during installation. You can report the received data to the office where you are going to place an order for a mosquito.
It makes sense to order frame nets for plastic windows only if the window sashes open into the apartment. For windows of other designs, there are other types of insect protection.
When taking measurements, take into account each millimeter division of the tape measure. For accessories with a z-mount, it is permissible to round the data, but only up. If the mosquito structure after installation will give a slight overlap on the frame from the outside, it's okay. The main thing is that it completely blocks the light opening, preventing access to insects, small debris and poplar fluff.
As you can see, you can measure a plastic window for installing a mosquito net yourself. If after reading the article you still do not understand any points, you can refer to one of the video instructions for taking measurements.
Petrenko Andrey Yurievich
Order mosquito nets with a full range of services (measuring, manufacturing and installation) is the most correct solution, since the probability of an error is minimized, but even if it does occur, then the entire responsibility falls on the shoulders of the seller company.
When buying only the product, you yourself take all the measurements and install the mosquito net, and in this case, the responsibility for possible measurement or installation errors lies with your budget. The cost of anti-mosquitoes with this option is significantly reduced (on average by 350-400 rubles per square meter). With volumes of 1-5 sq.m, this difference in price will not be so significant, with larger orders (from 10 sq.m) savings of 3500 - 4000 rubles. and more will make a significant contribution to the family budget or save a decent amount for the company. But how to properly measure mosquito nets?
Our company offers two options for fastening m / s - external z-shaped and internal metal. In this article, we will try to explain in detail and in an accessible way what nuances you should pay attention to when taking measurements, in what cases one or another type of fastener is used, and also how to correctly calculate the size of a mosquito net, because. making out order mosquito nets, you must report EXACT NET SIZE AND TYPE OF FIXING .
Option 1: internal metal fittings.
Their main advantage is versatility. Regardless of how your PVC window is installed, you can almost always install a mosquito net on it with this type of fastener.
Before proceeding with the calculation of the dimensions m / s, we need to make sure that its installation will be possible. To do this, it is necessary that the distance from the outer slope to the edge of the frame overlap on the right and left (A and C in the first figure) be greater than or equal to 10 mm, and from above greater than or equal to 20 mm (D in the second figure). If so, then you can safely proceed to the measurements. First of all, we measure the light opening (the distance from overlap to overlap along the width and height of the letters B and E, respectively), then add 20 mm to these dimensions and get the finished size of the mosquito net.
For example, let's take a window block with a size of 1450X1450 mm divided in half. Depending on the profile system, the size of the light opening will vary. In our case (Brugmann profile system), the size of the light opening of one window sash is 620X1315 mm. We add 20 mm to each parameter and get the finished size of the mosquito net equal to 640X1335 mm. Thus, making out order mosquito nets in our company without installation, you will have to name the width and height of the mesh you need (in that order) and the type of fastening. Based on our example, it will look like this: Good afternoon. I want to place an order for a frame mosquito net with metal internal fasteners 640x1335 mm in size, without measurements and installation.
Option 2: external Z-shaped fasteners.
External fasteners are considered the most preferable, since the frame mosquito net is located on the outside of the window, and, therefore, the light opening is not reduced and the tightness of the first sealing circuit is not violated. The only drawback may be some restrictions on their use. The ideal option is when the distance from the outer slope to the overlay on the right and left should be at least 20 mm, and from the upper slope to the overlay at least 50 mm. Only at such distances the mosquito net will not occupy part of the light opening. If your window is still recessed into the opening and these parameters are smaller, and there is no desire to install metal fasteners (due to a violation of the tightness of the window), then you can install external fasteners, but 
the light aperture will decrease by some amount. In this case, the minimum distances will be considered: on the right and left, 10 mm each, on top 30 mm, if the distances are even smaller, then only a specialist can determine the possibility of installation.
Now directly about the measurements. Initially, we measure the light opening, then, focusing on the rules below, we calculate the dimensions of the mosquito net.
A. the distance to the right and left is 25 mm, we add 36 mm to the width of the light opening;
B. the distance to the right and left is 20 mm, but 25 mm, we add 31 mm to the width of the light opening;
B. the distance to the right and left is 15 mm, but 20 mm, we add 26 mm to the width of the light opening;
D. the distance to the right and left is 10 mm, but 15 mm, we add 21 mm to the width of the light opening.
2. Mosquito net height:
A. if the distance is 50 mm, then add 50 mm to the height of the light opening;
B. if the distance is 40 mm, but 50 mm, then we add 45 mm to the height of the light opening;
B. if the distance is 30 mm, but 40 mm, then we add 35 mm to the height of the light opening.
An example of calculating the size of a mosquito net.
The light opening is 620X1335 mm, on the left is the impost (part of the window is 60 mm), on the right from the slope to the overlap is 17 mm, on top - 37 mm.
Since when calculating the dimensions of the mosquito net, the smallest of the available distances from the slope to the overlay is taken, in our case it will be 17 mm. Based on the first rule, 26 mm must be added to the width of the light opening. According to the second rule, 35 mm must be added to the height. Thus, the size of the mosquito net for installation on external mounts is 646x1370 mm, while the light opening will decrease by approximately 15 mm on each side.
We have considered the main nuances of measuring m / s, guided by our rules, you can independently calculate the dimensions of the product you need, order it from our company and install it, while saving up to 400 rubles per sq.m. If you doubt that you have correctly calculated the dimensions or that you can install external fasteners (because for this you need to lean out of the window), then you can always contact our company and order a mosquito net with measurements and installation by the company's masters. In this case, you are insured against any mistake, because. all responsibility falls on our specialists, you can safely continue to do household chores, and we will do what we have been doing for five years - the manufacture and installation of mosquito nets.
This manual is advisory in nature and applies only to mosquito nets produced by our company. In the case of ordering a mosquito net from the Golden Key company without measurements and installation, all responsibility for incorrect measurements, installation errors or size mismatches due to measurement errors lies with the customer.
The recommendations described in this article refer exclusively to profile systems with smooth rectangular or slightly rounded overlays (Aluplast, Brugmann, Rehau, Gealan, KBE, Viva, etc.). For PVC profiles with a sharp overlap bevel (Deceuninck, Thyssen, Foris, Roplasto, etc.), this instruction is not suitable. In this case, it is necessary to resort to the services of the company's specialists. 
In case it is necessary mosquito net replacement already existing, then the final size will be the size of the existing anti-mosquitoes.
How to measure and install a mosquito net?
Mosquito nets are an affordable and most effective way to protect your home from annoying insects. Installing a mosquito net allows you to avoid the use of fumigators and other chemicals to combat annoying insects.
The mosquito net also prevents the penetration of dirt and dust, poplar fluff (which is a powerful allergen) into the premises. A mosquito net will keep pets from falling out of an open window. The mosquito net is an aluminum frame, on which a mesh of glass fibers is stretched.
Types of mosquito nets
Frame mosquito nets– classic mosquito net design. A strong mesh is fixed on the aluminum profile, this design is inserted into the window opening. Such nets are convenient and practical, they are usually used if there is no need to constantly open the net. Depending on the method of fastening, they can be stationary and opening. Frame mosquito nets are recommended to be removed for the winter period for the longest possible life of the product. If a large mosquito net is needed, it is usually made with an additional reinforcing bar in the middle.
Door mosquito nets practically do not differ from frame grids, the design is also a lightweight aluminum profile. The main difference between frame and door mosquito nets is the size of the aluminum profile used. Door mosquito nets are larger. Handles are installed on the door mosquito nets for ease of use. Such grids are universal, they can be installed on entrance or attic doors, or on the doors of balconies and loggias.
Roller mosquito nets work on the principle of roller blinds, that is, if necessary, the mosquito net can be rolled into an aluminum box. The design of such a mosquito net includes a guide profile, a net in a roll and a cross bar with handles. Such mosquito nets are the most functional and easy to use. There is no need to completely remove the roller mosquito net for the winter, just twist it. Another advantage of such grids is the ability to close window openings of greater width. But, as a drawback #8212; such networks, unfortunately, are short-lived.
Mosquito net with Velcro or tape- the simplest mosquito net, which is mounted on the inside of the sash. If necessary, such a grid is very easily and quickly removed.
We measure the window under the mosquito net
Frame mosquito net on swivel z-mounts is the most popular option among customers. So, in order to independently measure the mosquito net, you need to take a tape measure, paper and a pen. Open the window sash where the mosquito net will be installed. Now we measure the light clearance of the frame in width and height.
Mosquito net width on swivel z-mounts will be equal to the frame clearance plus 20 mm.
Mosquito net height on swivel z-mounts will be equal to the height of the frame clearance plus 20 mm.
Mosquito net attachment types
Mosquito net plunger- the most expensive mosquito net mount, but also the most reliable and stable mount to high wind loads. The plunger is a special metal part with a spring that can be adjusted in length. Plunger fastening is universal for any types of windows.
Fastening "flag"#8212; fastening the mosquito net with small plastic hooks. This mount is less resistant to wind loads.
Mounting on swivel z-pieces- the most popular and reliable mount. Z-shaped elements must fit snugly against the frame, and are additionally fixed to it from the inside of the room.
Mounting on plastic corners. Such corners are located on the outside. This design does not interfere with the normal opening and closing of the window, and is also easily removed.
Mosquito net installation
Installation of a mosquito net on swivel z-mounts runs in this order.
1. We have a mosquito net fastening inside the room. Fasteners differ in the length of the hook. It is important that the fastener is located with a smaller hook to the bottom, a large one to the top, respectively.
2. It is necessary to take the grid by the side vertical handles. Which can be metal or plastic. We install the mesh in the window opening and start large hooks for the upper part of the frame. In this case, the grid must be raised to the maximum height. When you reach the maximum height, you will be able to place smaller hooks on the bottom edge of the window frame. Ready.
Mosquito net fastening with plastic corners differs in that the fasteners are installed on the window frame, and not on the grid as in the previous version.
1. It is necessary to make markings for plastic corners on the outside of the window frame.
2. We fix the plastic corners on the window frame with self-tapping screws.
3. Further installation is similar to the method of fastening with z-shaped elements (first the top edge, then the bottom).
When installing plastic windows, many people seek to save on mosquito nets, especially if installation is carried out in the fall. Also, there are breakdowns of the frame of an existing product. In any case, when the period of insect activity begins, it becomes necessary to acquire a saving barrier.
Mosquitoes are rarely standardized in size, since the dimensions of the installed plastic windows are individual. For this reason, the following solutions to the problem are possible:
- Order a mosquito net from the company where the windows were ordered.
- Call an engineer for measurements, which will take some time and require additional costs.
- Measure the mosquito net on the plastic window yourself.
The most convenient option is self-measurement.
Types of fasteners for mosquito nets
Structurally, mosquito nets have a simple structure: a fiberglass net with a 1 mm cell, fixed on an aluminum frame. But these products are different in the way they are installed.
Mesh attachment may vary depending on the manufacturer and can be of the following types:
- Plunger. The most popular type of attachment, which is considered the most durable and effective. The frame of the mosquito net is fixed using spring-loaded pins, which provide a reliable and tight fixation of the mosquito.
- Z-shaped. This type is considered the second most popular. In this case, the mosquito is attached to the window frame using special metal brackets that provide a snug fit. The fasteners are quite reliable, but over time it can loosen, which will lead to the appearance of cracks.
- "Pockets". Such fasteners are used quite rarely, since they do not provide a snug fit of the mesh to the window frame. In this case, measurements are performed with a margin.
Measurements for meshes with plunger fastening
The installation of such a grid is possible if the outer bevel of the window frame does not have a rounded shape or too large an angle of inclination, otherwise the groove for the pin will not ensure reliable fixation of the product. 
You will need a tape measure to measure the window. It is necessary to open the window sash and measure the light opening. The measurement is carried out along the edge of the seal, which is installed on all plastic windows. Results must be recorded to the nearest millimeter. From the resulting width and height, 6 mm must be subtracted to provide enough space for installing the mosquito frame.
Measuring for z-mounted meshes
The calculation of dimensions for this type of mesh is carried out similarly to the previous one, but 20 millimeters must be added to the measurement results obtained.
When using such grids, it must be taken into account that it is mounted outside the window, therefore, there must be enough space for installation. Difficulties during installation can be caused by closely spaced slopes or a window grill mounted near the window. In such cases, it is recommended to use a mesh with a plunger fastening.
Measurements for nets with fastening in "pockets"
Previously, this type of fastening was the most common, however, more effective fastener methods have replaced it. Plastic "pockets" are mounted outside the window at the corners of the light opening. Such fasteners are not able to ensure a snug fit of the mesh to the window frame, therefore it is not recommended for use.
If, nevertheless, there is a need to use this particular fastener, then the measurements of the opening are carried out in the same way as in the case of the z-mount.
Why do you need to measure the mosquito tag? I cut off a piece, and fastened it with buttons on the frame. And if the window is metal-plastic? As a rule, this protective device is ordered together with the window, but what if you didn’t think about it right away? In this case, it is important to know how to measure the mosquito net, because it depends on whether it fits in size.
There are no ready-made nets for sale, since each window is made according to individual sizes.
This article will not talk about a simple mesh, but about a mosquito net that has a strong frame. Also you will learn a lot about on doors and windows.
It is not worth talking about the purpose of the grid, since even a child knows everything about it, but not everyone knows how to ensure that it fulfills its role in full. The point is that the wrong choice can lead to some problems, namely:
- Incorrect measurements will lead to the fact that the grid on the plastic window will be large or small. In the first case, it will be difficult to install it, and in the second, there will be gaps through which various insects will freely enter the room. If the large one can still be adjusted in size, then the small one will have to be replaced.
- The size of the mesh cells should contribute to good air exchange, but at the same time not let insects through. Any deviation will lead to undesirable results.
- Fasteners must be of high quality so that the mesh fits snugly against the window and cannot be torn off by the wind.
measurements
In order to order a mesh for a plastic window, you need to find out the dimensions of the window opening of the opening sash. It is also important to think in advance how to install it - outside or inside the frame. This is an important point, since the sizes of the grids will vary. Although measurements to the nearest millimeter are not necessary for external mounting, nevertheless (in order to avoid unnecessary problems), certain parameters must be adhered to.
Other types of nets can also be installed on the windows, but then it is better to have a representative of the manufacturer come to take measurements.
There is also another version of the net, for the acquisition or manufacture of which you also need to correctly measure yourself - this is a mosquito net with Velcro. In this case, it is not the dimensions of the window opening that are needed, but the frames. Such a grid is fixed on the front side of the window, so it is precisely this that needs to be measured.
If you have a sewing machine, then this kind of mesh can be made at home. For this you will need:
- Sewing machine.
- Strong threads, matched to the color of the purchased mesh.
- Grid.
- Self-adhesive Velcro tape.
- Ironing board (or table).
- Iron.
First you need to purchase consumables. As for the mesh web, its dimensions should be slightly larger than the existing frame dimensions around the window opening. Now we can begin to manufacture the product we need.
For example, the size of the finished mesh will be 100 × 50 cm. In this case, the blank of the canvas should be with an allowance of the order of 1.5–2 cm. If you make an allowance of 2 cm, then the resulting blank will have dimensions of 104 × 54 cm. Further in order:
- An allowance is folded on each side of the grid (in our case, 2 cm).
- The mesh is quite rigid, therefore, in order to fix it in this position, the bent parts must be ironed through a thin fabric that is not afraid of high temperatures.
- Now we cut the Velcro into 4 parts (2 pcs. 100 mm each, and 2 pcs. 50 mm each) and separate.
- We start sewing Velcro (without an adhesive backing) from the top of the mesh, stitching it along the edge. The same procedure is repeated with the other side, then the side parts are sheathed.
- The finished mesh must be attached to the place where it will be fixed, looking at how well it is made. If there are distortions, then with a simple pencil you need to mark its position on the frame.
- A part of the Velcro with an adhesive backing must be glued to the window so that when installing the mesh there are no distortions and both parts of the sewn mount are securely connected.
If you do not have the skills to work with a sewing machine, then the Velcro must be basted by hand - so it does not move under the foot of the sewing machine.
If all the work is done carefully, then this home-made mesh cannot be distinguished from the one that was sewn to order.
Wooden window mesh
Modern wooden windows differ from metal-plastic ones only in the material used in their manufacture. Therefore, the grid for them will be the same as described above.
What to do if you have ordinary wooden windows installed? No one will fasten the mesh to the frame with buttons or a glazing bead. In principle, mesh with Velcro or in an aluminum profile frame can also be installed. If you want to tinker, then you can make a mosquito net on a wooden frame. Measurements are taken in exactly the same way as for Velcro mesh.
Such a product will not be enough for a long time, since the tree may warp, and the slats will often have to be painted, for which the mesh will have to be removed, and there is no guarantee that it can be reused. In addition, you will have to screw the mesh frame to the window frame with self-tapping screws or invent a mount.
Mosquito net for door
As for the mesh on the door, there are several options:
- Standard mosquito door made from a profile.
- Door to sliding patio.
- Pleated mesh.
- Roll door.
- Mesh with magnets.
- Homemade wooden door.
If desired, you can also fix the mesh with Velcro on the door. The question is, will it be convenient to use it later?
The most common option is a frame door. Its opening is carried out in the opposite direction from the main door, and it is held by furniture magnets. Clearance data is required to order this product. This method of measuring is better because, even without knowing the width of the profile used, you will be sure that the internal dimensions of the mesh and the doorway will be the same. When ordering a product, be sure to specify what exactly was measured, and that you indicate the internal size of the future frame of the anti-mosquito door.
Cheaper doors are assembled from a window profile. Over time, they can warp or sag.
Sliding design
If sliding balcony doors are installed, then the grid should be the same. There are standard sliding nets, and there are pleated nets. It should be noted right away that this type of grid does not belong to cheap ones, and it is very difficult for an inexperienced person to install them. Therefore, it is better to take measurements and install the installation by a specialist. This is exactly the case when the desire to save money can lead to additional costs spent on rework.
When choosing a sliding mesh, keep in mind that it will require a lot of space, while the pleated mesh will fit in a relatively small opening.
If you are interested in a roll mosquito net, then you need to know some of the features of installing this product and using it. Installation is carried out outside the frame, which must be taken into account when taking measurements. There are no particular difficulties with its installation, but one must take into account the factor that, due to the specific arrangement of such a door, it is not intended for frequent use, and the point is not in the mechanism itself, but in convenience. Imagine that every time you need to go to the balcony, the grid will need to be raised and then lowered. For this reason, such devices are installed on doors that are rarely used, or on windows.
This mesh does not need to be removed for the winter, since, when folded, it is all placed in a box located above the door.
Mesh on magnets
Recently, such an innovation as a grid with magnets has appeared, which is very convenient to use. The principle of operation of this bisexual mesh is based on the attraction of magnets attached to the inner edges. With a slight movement of the hand or other part of the body, the flaps move apart and, after the passage of a person or animal, they immediately close.
The size of such nets is indicated on the packaging. In order not to be mistaken, you need to measure not the clearance, but the door frame. With this data, you can choose the appropriate grid. Since it often comes with a margin in length, during installation it must be adjusted so that the edges do not cling to the floor or threshold, otherwise it will not be able to close.
In the article, we tried to make the maximum possible overview of the grids and describe how to perform measurements for them. If you want to add something, then leave a comment at the end of the article.
