Do-it-yourself mosquito net on rods. Installing a mosquito net

Often times in life there are situations when it becomes necessary to install or change a mosquito net. The need for replacement usually arises in families with children, children love experiments, which means that damage to the mosquito is inevitable.
For those who are not familiar with the specifics of mosquito nets for plastic windows, the installation of a new product turns into a real hell. To get rid of hours of torment, we offer several installation methods at once. We recommend that you read the article carefully, and save it to bookmarks or print. If necessary, there will always be a hint at hand.

The warm season is the time for the activity of all kinds of insects. Whether deliberately or not, they seek to enter people's homes through doors and windows. Pesky flies, mosquitoes, spiders and beetles bring a lot of inconvenience. Therefore, it is obvious that everyone is looking for an opportunity to defend themselves. To the rescue come mosquito nets, or as they are popularly called mosquitoes. These parts allow fresh air to freely enter the room and protect against insects. In this way, doors and windows can be left open at all times.

Mosquitoes for plastic windows: durable and reliable

In the modern world, it is impossible to imagine a window without a mosquito net. Thanks to her, people are spared from annoying insects and poplar fluff that fills the room. Simple and unobtrusive design, combined with functionality have made mosquito nets an irreplaceable accessory in the interior.

The simple design and convenient form of fastening have made mosquitoes the most popular addition to the new plastic window.

In the summer, you want as much fresh air as possible in the house. But open window openings cannot provide full air circulation. Previously, there was no way out of this situation. There was no purchase of a protective accessory for balcony doors. I had to do with improvised means, such as gauze. Manufacturers paid attention to the needs of consumers and developed special nets for balcony doors. They have a swing mechanism, and fit into any type of doorway without any problems.

Pet owners are familiar with the situation when the first rays of the sun lure cats to the balconies. There they hunt for birds flying by all day, and after that they like to "scratch" their claws on a mosquito net. And no matter how hard you try, explain to the animal that it is impossible to do this. The pet will try to squeeze out the mesh.

You can often see birds circling around the window, trying to pull out a stuck mosquito or midge. This phenomenon, especially often, can be observed by residents of the upper floors.

Taking into account the wishes of customers, manufacturers have developed a special mesh model "Anticoshka", with a reinforced PVC coating. The substance used in the manufacture of this design does not harm human health. And it is not inferior to conventional nets in air and light transmission capacity. Along with this, "Anticoshka" protects against mosquitoes, midges and flies, as well as against solutions of salts, alkalis and basic acids, industrial gases and moisture.

The special processing technology of the mosquito net makes it very durable. It is almost impossible to damage, tear or scratch the product. Now, don't worry about your pet falling out of the window. And birds wishing to feast on midges caught in the net will not violate its integrity.

Not a single folk remedy, such as the smell of anise, cloves or eucalyptus, guarantees one hundred percent protection against mosquitoes. Only mosquitoes can help you forget about the night buzz.

Care and types of mosquitoes on plastic frames

Every owner wants the nets on the windows to serve as long as possible. To do this, you need to adhere to simple rules for caring for them.

Before purchasing a mosquito net, you need to carefully measure and decide on the size of the product. To do this, open a window, measure the light opening. After, add another 20 millimeters to each parameter. The result is the correct size of the insect screen.

• For doors. One of the new developments. They perform the function of not only protecting against insects, but also regulating the flow of air. In addition, a mosquito for doors is guaranteed to protect the house from drafts. Such products are attached to special hinges. The mesh is fixed with a magnet.
• Anticoshka. This type of mesh is essential for pet owners. Especially for such consumers, this model was developed. Due to the fact that the pet will not be able to damage and spoil the product. In addition, this type of mosquito is equipped with additional mounts, which increases its safety. This mesh does not need to be removed for the winter, as the increased strength of the mesh makes it able to withstand the most severe frosts.
• Anti-dust. Today dust allergy has become an epidemic. The disease is common among people of all ages and populations. To protect yourself and loved ones from unpleasant symptoms will help mosquito net "Antidust". The product is created on the basis of a very dense fabric, which is able to retain the smallest dust particles. However, this leads to rapid pollution. But mosquitoes are very easy to clean. All that is needed is to wash the mesh surface with soapy water, then wipe it with a dry cloth.

The mesh does not affect the penetration of sunlight into the room, and does not impair the appearance of the window.
There is only one drawback of the grid - high cost.

• Roll - for many, this is considered the most optimal solution. The advantage of the mesh is its versatility, they are used to close windows and doors, terraces and balconies. When assembled, they look like a roll in a box. An additional plus is the easy care of the products. The installation process is also as simple as possible. But the main disadvantage of such a model is the high price.
• Sliding - can be used to protect windows, balconies and terraces. This type of mesh opens and closes with two sliding pieces. Closed mosquitoes do not affect the visibility from the window, thanks to the gray color. To install the sliding mesh, you will need to install special guides.

There are different types of fastenings for mockit nets:

• Anti-dust;
• Removable frame;
• Anticoshka;
• Frame sliding;
• Fastening on magnetic tape or tape;
• Plisse;
• Rolled.

Speaking of mosquito nets, we must not forget about the types of their attachment. There are 4 types of them:

• On hinges;
• With ears;
• On the pins;
• On z-shaped fasteners.

The most popular (which is quite justified) is the last mounting option.

Z-shaped fasteners are reliable and convenient. Another "plus" is that there is no need to make additional holes in the window frame. The use of this mount is permissible for wooden and plastic windows. The lack of fasteners is a loose fit of the mosquito to the frame. Clearances, allows a small amount of insects and dust to enter the room.

To mount the pins, you will have to make holes in the window frame. Thus, the fasteners are very reliable. With this fastening, the mosquito fits snugly to the frame, and the stainless steel elements guarantee a long-term service of the fasteners. If necessary, the mesh can be quickly removed and dismantled.

For doors, a hinge mount is the best option. For this, due to the increased load, a reinforced type of profile is used.

There is no definite answer about which type of fastening to choose. It is necessary to take into account the place where the installation will be carried out. For a plastic window, you need eight self-tapping screws and four fasteners. Measure first. After that, non-angled fasteners are mounted equidistant from each other. Corner pieces fit in the corners.

Removing the mosquito is also very simple. To remove it, grasp the plastic holders and gently but firmly pull up. So, the mesh comes out of the lower holders. After that, it is folded back, and the upper ones are removed. After that, all you have to do is hide the mosquito net in the pantry until next summer.

Obviously, removing the mosquito net is not difficult. The process is very simple, even when the procedure needs to be carried out with a plastic window. There is no need to ask a professional to remove the mesh. Even a person with no experience can cope with removing the mosquito net.

Installing mosquito on windows

We all face the problems of the warm season: flies, mosquitoes, midges; stuffiness; poplar fluff and dust in the house. At the same time, it is difficult to find a solution for all tasks at once. The fight against mosquitoes and other insects is inextricably linked with the appearance of excessive stuffiness in the room, and vice versa.

From spring to late autumn, all kinds of insects constantly fly into the window open for ventilation.

Previously, gauze was the only solution to the problem. It was attached to door and window frames. But thanks to modern technology, mosquito nets on window frames are called upon to get rid of midges and ensure a regular supply of air.

These products represent heavy-duty designs. They are installed in the vents and window openings. The design of the mosquito is very light. This makes it possible to secure them using the so-called grooves designed specifically for this purpose. In addition, to simplify the installation process, all nets are equipped with special handles.

To install a window insect screen, you can use the services of a professional from a window company or do it yourself. The procedure is very simple. The only difficulty that non-professionals usually have is the installation of grooves. In the future, mosquito nets will be attached to these parts.

The frame for mosquitoes is made of a special aluminum profile. The mesh, which will directly protect the house from insects, is attached to the base of the product with a rubber cord.

An obstacle for insects to enter the house are very small lattices on the net, their standard size is 1x1 mm. Mosquitoes fit aesthetically into the interior of the room and do not spoil the overall look of the window. Products provide unhindered air circulation and sunlight penetration.

An additional advantage is the ease of maintenance of the mesh, the prostate removal and installation.

To please their customers, the companies offer classic mesh colors: gray, white and brown. At the request of the customer, the mosquito can be made in any other color.

Having bought a net for windows, you will forever forget about insects, dust and poplar fluff in your house for many years. Products do not deform under the influence of external factors, do not fade.

Fastening the masking mesh on the window is carried out using one of two types of fasteners. The choice will depend on the wishes of the customer and the quality of the window installation.

Correct installation of the mosquito net on the window frame

Although the installation of the grid does not require special knowledge, some nuances still need to be taken into account. First, take the mosquito by the handle located on the side of the product. After that, it is necessary to start long fastenings (so-called hooks) for the influx of the window frame. Now, lift the mosquito up until it stops. At the next stage, slightly pulling the mosquito net towards ourselves, and at the same time, we start hooks for the influx of windows. Lower the mosquito onto the short mounts at the bottom. The installation is complete, it remains to align the mosquito relative to the window opening.

Consider the mountings before installing. Z-shaped corners are considered a practical and reliable option for installing window mesh.

How the mosquito net is attached

• Installation begins with screwing onto the top mounts with screws. The size of the screws must be no more than 20 mm. When using products of greater length, they can rest against the reinforcement that is inside the PVC window.
• If the distance from the edge of the bead to the slope is more than 50 mm (this is ideal), measure 50 mm from the edge of the bead on both sides. Mark the appropriate places with a pencil.
• Then, according to the early marks made, attach the long fasteners, and fasten them with screws.
• In cases where the distance from the edge of the bead to the slope is 50 mm, but more than 30 mm, you need to determine the minimum distance by measuring it from the edge of the beads on both sides. Start by installing the upper Z-shaped corners, after which you should install the lower ones. In this case, experts offer two possible types of installation.

Instructions for removing the mosquito net on the frame

The mosquito net must be removed every year during the winter season. In order not to resort to the help of specialists, you need to master a simple dismantling technique.

First, you need to take the mosquito net by the handles and pull with a little effort. This process should continue until the bottom hooks are disengaged from the overflowing window frame. When this stage is over, pull the window mesh out and down. Done. Now you need to bring the mosquito into the room where it will be stored.

As you can see, the installation and dismantling of mosquito nets is not difficult, even for an inexperienced user. However, you still need to have some skill, so for residents of the upper floors, the procedure can be dangerous. Since installation requires leaning out of the window, at the stage of fixing the corners to the screws.

First option

This option is used in cases where it is not possible to get to the window frame from the outside in order to make the appropriate marks necessary for installing the mesh.

You need to start by installing the upper mounts, and you need to carefully measure the product. After that, add 27 mm to the results obtained. We mark the resulting length from the end on the upper mount to the bottom. Now, lean the mounts directly against the markings on the frame, and secure them with the screws.

When the lower and upper ones are fixed, you can start installing the mesh on the frame. To do this, take the mesh by the handles and start it by the upper fasteners. After that, you need to slightly raise the mesh, and at the same time, pulling the product to the frame, and lower the mosquito onto the lower fastener. At the last stage, we adjust the position of the mosquito net and level it.

If even after reading the above instructions, the installation of the mesh seems difficult, it is recommended to contact a specialist. In addition, when buying a mosquito net, you can immediately order an installation service.

Second option

This technique is used in summer cottages and houses; in apartments located on the ground floor or if both sashes open in the window. These requirements are due to the need to approach the outside of the profile from the outside.

You need to take a mosquito and install it in the mounts located at the top. Next, we lift, and slightly directing towards ourselves, lean the bottom of the net in the frame. You will need help at this stage. Since at the same time you need to make marks on the window frame at the edges of the mosquito net.

Those who intend to use this method should take into account that in the process it is necessary to secure the mesh using the upper holders. Next, measure out 27 mm, after which the final marks can be made. According to them, screw the short holders with screws.

Installing the mosquito net yourself

With the arrival of spring and warmth, people try to keep the windows constantly open. However, this inevitably leads to the appearance of a large number of insects in the house: flies, mosquitoes, moths, butterflies, beetles and ants. They interfere with sleep at night, and bites cause itching and discomfort. In addition, such "neighbors" are often carriers of dangerous diseases.

The only way out of this situation today is to install a mosquito net on the windows.

The innovative design of mosquito nets protects not only from insects, but also from dust, poplar fluff and birds entering the room.

The mesh frame is made of durable, ultra-lightweight aluminum. Usually, it has the color of the window frame, but at the request of the client, it can be painted in any color. And the mesh itself, most often, has a light gray color. Thus, it does not stand out, merges with the landscape outside the window, and does not distract attention.

The device of a net against insects is very simple, and installation does not require special knowledge and skills, so everyone can do it. Therefore, if the mosquito net is damaged or worn out, first you need to remove it. To find out what size of mosquitoes to order, you just need to freeze the old product. You can easily acquire a new protective mesh for windows of the required size in a specialized store or in a warehouse.

If the earlier window was without a grid, it is also possible to take measurements, although this will be more difficult. To do this, you need to open a window opening, after which the perimeter measurements are taken. To the results obtained, 3 cm in height and 2 cm in width are added.

In addition to the mesh, the kit also includes two pairs of fasteners for the upper and lower parts of the window frame. These parts differ in design. The top hardware is slightly wider and has a bar. Therefore, it is impossible to confuse the mountings. However, the difficulty is a reliable fixation and correct attachment to the window frame.

The lower part of the mounts is laid out from the outside of the frame. To securely fix the product, the fasteners should be 1 - 1.5 cm below the window opening. Another fastener is fixed to the upper opening.

To correctly determine the place for the fasteners, add 1 cm to the grid parameters.

The further installation process will not be difficult. In order to insert the mosquito net, it is required to pull the net through the open opening to the outside. After that, it is inserted into the upper securing groove. This is done through a movement, during which the mosquito is attracted to the inside, and at the same time goes down.

For owners of wooden windows, it is also possible to install a mosquito net. However, in this case, it is important that there were no protrusions on the outside of the window frame (since they lead to damage to the mosquito), and the sash opened outward.

There are two options for attaching mosquito nets:

1. In the first case, Z-shaped fasteners are used, which are attached from the outside. The upper parts are fixed first, and then the lower ones. Work is carried out on the outside of the window frame. Therefore, this method is considered hazardous to life and health if work is carried out at high altitudes.
2. The second option is characterized by internal fastening. This technique is pretty simple too. It consists in the fact that the mosquito, with the help of handles, is wound up behind the upper window opening, and in this position is carried to the stop. When this process is completed, the mount from the bottom starts up behind the influx of the window frame. Now, it remains only to bring the net to the lower bindings with a confident movement.

The final stage in the first and second cases will be the alignment of the mosquito, and checking the tightness of its fit.

Do I need to install a mosquito net on windows

It is impossible to keep the windows closed during the spring and summer period. The heat forces to keep windows and doors constantly ventilated. However, along with the refreshing air currents, all kinds of insects enter the room. They, with annoying buzzing, do not give a quiet rest at night. In addition, their bites cause unpleasant itching and redness. No less harmful, familiar to all, moth. Although it does not harm health, it spoils things made from natural fabrics. An anti-mosquito net will protect you from pests.

The standard mosquito net is a frame made of a lightweight aluminum profile, it serves as a base on which a material with small holes is attached - an anti-mosquito net.

Due to the light gray color in which the mesh is painted, the product is practically invisible to the human eye. The color of the profile matches the shade of the window frame. Thus, although the main function of the nets is to protect against the penetration of insects into the room, the aesthetic component is also inherent in the products. In addition, mosquitoes protect against dust, pollen, poplar fluff, this fact is especially important for people with allergies. Be sure to keep feathers, leaves and other debris away from the wind from entering your home. Thanks to modern developments, nets protect pets from falling.

Another important advantage: mosquito nets do not require any special maintenance. Throughout the entire period of operation, products must be cleaned with a soap solution twice a year: at the beginning of the season of use - in spring and autumn, after removal.

To remove a mosquito, no special knowledge or skills are required, therefore, caring for it is simple and does not take much time. The process of fixing the anti-mosquito net is simple, and anyone who has set such a goal can cope with it.

To clean the mesh, you do not need to purchase additional tools and tools.

For those who do not have extra funds, there is an option to make a mosquito on their own. The process is not too complicated and fast. In addition, the method will be much cheaper than ordering a product in a special workshop.

Today, a mosquito net can be installed on any type of door and window opening. The installation process, depending on the size and complexity, takes from 30 minutes to an hour. However, the full cycle of work of this type, for metal-plastic windows, takes up to two days.

In cases where there is already a mesh on the window, but it is worn out, it is very easy to order a new one. To do this, take measurements of the old product and buy a mesh of the same size. In such cases, you do not need to buy new mounts.

When it becomes necessary to order a mesh, the main question becomes: "Where is it better to buy it?" Many people think that the best option is to contact the company where the window was purchased. This statement is true, but buying a product from another specialized manufacturer is also possible.

And for those who want to save money, there is another option. To do this, you need to find a wholesale warehouse that sells components for individuals and legal entities. In such organizations, you can buy an anti-mosquito net at times cheaper.

detailed instructions

For those who have installed new plastic windows, but for some reason did not order a mosquito net for him, it will be much more difficult to take measurements on their own. But following the instructions below, the task will be simplified.

• To begin with, you need to open the window to which you intend to close the mosquito;
• It is necessary to measure the length and width of the open window frame;
• To the results obtained, you need to add 3 cm to the height indicator, 2 cm to the width;
• When you intend to entrust the production of a mosquito net to professionals, the company should provide not only a finished product, but also a set of fasteners for it.
• Fasteners consist of two pairs of parts, different in design - for the top and bottom. The top mount is slightly wider than the bottom one and has a bar. During the installation process, it is very important not to confuse these parts.
• The fasteners must be correctly positioned in the opening of the window frame, and fasten them well.
• Bottom mounts should be on the outside of the window frame. The part should be positioned taking into account that after installation, the mesh should be 0.5 cm below the opening.
• The upper attachment parts, respectively, are located in the upper part of the frame.
• To accurately determine the location of the parts, it is necessary to measure the height of the mosquito from the lower mounts, and add 1 cm to the result.
• If all the previous steps are done correctly, it is very easy to insert the mosquito net.
• Pull the product out of the window opening. Insert it into the grooves of the holders from above. At the same time, lightly pull the net towards you so that it fits snugly against the frame. This should be done until the mesh rests against the lower mounts.
• It will not be difficult to install a mosquito net on a wooden window. But in this case, it is important that the sash opens inward, and there are no protrusions and gaps from the outside. It is important that the mesh does not break during installation work.
• Today, there are two options for attaching the mosquito net to the frame. Their choice depends on the wishes of the owner, and the quality of the window installation.
• The first method involves attaching the mesh to a plastic window using internal fasteners.
• In the process, the product is taken by special handles on the side, the field of this, the upper "hooks" are wound up for the influx of the window. The field of the net is lifted up to the stop.
• The next step is to get the bottom "hooks" behind the sludge of the window frame. Pull the net down onto the short bindings.
• When the main work is completed, the mosquito net is aligned with the opening.
• Another method of fixing is to use Z-shaped parts from the outside of the window.
• To begin with, the upper fasteners are fixed to the screws.
• Measure 50 cm from the edge of the bead on both sides of the window and mark the results with a pencil or marker.
• Focusing on the marks, we mount the long mounts and fix them with screws.
• When choosing screws, you need to remember that their length should be less than 20 cm. If the product is of a larger length, there is a possibility that the screw will rest against the reinforcement in the pestle window.
• When you are done with the upper fasteners, proceed with the installation of the lower ones. There are two options for this.
• One case applies when it is possible to get to the PVC profile from the outside.
• The mosquito net is inserted into the upper mountings, after which, pulling the net towards you, raise it, and lean the bottom against the frame.
• While one person performs the above actions, the second one makes marks at the edge of the window. These marks serve as indicators of where to screw short fasteners with screws.
• Another option is used when it is impossible to get to the outside of the window.
• As in the previous case, the upper mounts are fixed first.
• Now measure the size of the mosquito net, and add 2.7 cm. The result obtained is measured from the end of the upper attachment to the bottom, a mark is made in the corresponding place.
• Fasteners are fixed with screws.
• We take the mosquito net on the frame by the side handles, start by the top fasteners. After that, we raise the lower part of the mesh to the frame, until it stops and the lower fasteners.

As you can see, the process is not too difficult. After just a few hours of work, fresh air will freely enter the room, and you can forget about flies and mosquitoes forever.

The latter method is considered the most reliable and practical option. But it will be difficult for a beginner to complete it, since it requires certain skills. Therefore, sometimes it can pose a danger to human health. Since in the process of installation work it is necessary to protrude out of the window to fix the corners with screws.

How mosquitoes are installed

Mosquito nets have become part of everyday life. This is a great way to protect your home from annoying insects without blocking the constant flow of fresh air. We are ready to tell you how to quickly install mosquito nets on windows and doors.

Installing a mosquito net on the window

To mount the mosquito, in addition to the product itself, you must have a set of parts for fastening: it includes four fasteners and the same number of self-tapping screws. Usually, these items come with a net.

Place the mosquito on a flat surface. Take measurements and markings accordingly.

Corner fasteners are mounted in the corners of the frame. Non-corner pieces are fixed in the center of the window frame. During these works, keep an even distance between all parts.

Fasteners for the top are mounted over the top corners of the mesh, keeping a distance of 12 centimeters. This technology will provide the mosquito with sufficient space to enter. To fix the fasteners on the self-tapping screws, a screwdriver is used.

Removing the mesh from a plastic window is also easy. To do this, you need to grasp the plastic holders that are in the middle of the mosquito. With a gentle motion, lift it up vertically. When the mesh comes out of the lower hooks, the bottom is pulled back a few centimeters away from itself. Then, slowly lower it until the mosquito comes out of the holders from above. In the last step, place the product indoors.

Various fastenings of mosquito nets and their features

The general principles of installing and fixing a mosquito net on an aluminum window are almost the same as in previous installation cases. However, there are still some features:

• The mesh is inserted into the frame by the upper guide.
• Having reached the maximum position on the top of the structure, insert the lower edge of the sash behind the lower guide.
• Now you can lower the product.

Usually, even for a non-professional, the total installation time of a plastic window structure takes no more than 30 minutes.

Standard models of nets on the frame are mounted in a few minutes - by attaching them to the window frame with special latches.

Installation of structures with Z-shaped fasteners takes a little more time, within 10-15 minutes. However, the process itself will be more complicated.

For those for whom the reliability of fasteners is important, we recommend paying attention to metal parts. Such products do not crack, are not damaged, and they are not afraid of severe frosts and summer heat. In addition, unlike plastic counterparts, metal fasteners will not allow the mesh to fall out even in hurricane gusts of wind.

Recently, roller-type mosquito nets have appeared on the market. Installation of such products without professional assistance is not recommended. But, if you still intend to do it yourself, it is recommended that you do the work together. This will help to do the job better and save you from losing parts.

Installation of anti-mosquito net on the door

Today, anti-mosquito nets on the doors of balconies and verandas are mounted using special magnets and using a clamping mechanism. Before starting work, you need to mark the places where the loops will be fixed. Further, they are fixed to the doorway using screws or self-tapping screws. Next, you need to fix the insect net on the hinges, and fix it with magnets.

The last step in installing the mosquito net on the doorway is to fix the magnets on the door profile using self-tapping screws.

Installation of mosquito nets on plastic windows

Flies and mosquitoes are a real problem during the warmer months. The easiest and most convenient way to control insects in your home is to install mosquito nets on doors and windows. Below you will learn how to install an insect screen on the window premise, as well as the doors of terraces and balconies.

Self-attaching mosquito net to the window

If your insect net comes with Z-shaped mounts, you need to follow these steps:

1. Place the mosquito upright, so that, at the same time, the mount is facing you. It is important to keep in mind that fasteners often differ depending on the length of the hook on this part.
2. Next, place the mesh so that the hook of the larger fastener is turned up, and the smaller one is down.
3. On the side of the net there are plastic or metal handles arranged vertically. Grasp them firmly.
4. Place the mosquito in a designated place to install the stacks in the window opening.
5. Raise the screen as high as possible and place a large hook on top of the window frame.
6. When the mosquito is in its highest position, place smaller hooks over the edges of the window opening at the bottom. Lower the mesh.

This is the simplest option for installing a mosquito net. However, it is only possible if all the necessary parts are available. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that this method is not suitable for all types of plastic windows.

A method of fixing a mosquito net in a window opening

Another equally popular way of fixing mosquito nets on windows, as well as on balconies, using special plastic corners.

Although this option is not suitable for all cases, if you plan to install a mosquito on a plastic window, this option should be studied in detail.

In this case, in contrast to the variant with metal fasteners, where they are installed on the mesh frame, here the fasteners are fixed directly to the window frame.

The process involves the following sequence of actions:

• Measure the window opening and the frame on which the insect net is attached;
• On the outside of the window frame, using a pencil, all the necessary marks are made. In this case, the calculations must be done with a small margin.
• Fix the corners to the window frame using screws;
• Further actions correspond to the installation steps in the above cases. The mosquito is fixed in the window opening using the upper and lower hooks.

Installing a mosquito net on the door

Unlike products designed for windows, door mosquitoes are divided into two types:

• Those that are in a special case, which is a frame;
• Free hanging mosquitoes.

Before you undertake the installation of a mosquito net yourself, you need to consider that this type of work is more difficult than installing a net on a plastic window. This is due to the fact that when completing the mesh, they rely on the work of professionals, and it will be difficult for a person without experience to figure it out. Therefore, it is recommended to entrust the installation of an anti-mosquito net for doors to specialists, this will not only save time and effort, in case of a defect, the product will be quickly replaced with a new one.

As an example, consider a mosquito with a frame. This type of product is attached with hinges, which resembles ordinary doors. In contrast, mosquito nets with magnets are attached around the entire perimeter of the doorway using special magnetic fasteners.

Sometimes the mosquito net comes with a magnetic latch and handles. In addition, if the height allows, you can install several imposts.

For a professional, installing a mosquito net on a door takes no more than 15 - 30 minutes.

The peculiarity of this type of mosquito nets is twisting during removal from the latches or opening. The presence of such a function eliminates the need to twist the product by hand and significantly extends the life of the product.

You already know how to install a mosquito net on a window or door, of which types are. When it comes to the simplest design of a mosquito net, installation is done independently. The work will take no more than half an hour. However, it is recommended to entrust the installation of complex structures to professionals. Employees of a specialized company will easily carry out the installation in a short time. This will save your nerves, and you will not have to worry about the reliability of fixing the structure.

With the onset of heat, many insects appear on the street. But you really want to have fresh air in the house. That is why the question of how to insert the mesh into a plastic window is relevant? This procedure is not difficult to complete. The main thing is to follow some prescriptions. This is described in the article.

Features:

The usual ones are presented in the form of an aluminum profile with a stretched fine-mesh material. The gray canvas is not striking. The advantages of the products include ease of maintenance. It is only necessary to wash the canvas a few times a year using a mild detergent. It's very easy to shoot.

Manufacturing and installation is not difficult. Self-installation will cost less than contacting a company that installs PVC windows. Installation can be done on a door or window opening with different sizes.

What does it protect from?

Mosquito-proof frames are in demand, as they serve to protect the premises from external factors. You can order them immediately with the installation of windows or later. Over time, the structures need to be updated. Although the replacement of the product is performed by firms, it will still be possible to do the work on its own. The nets serve as protection against:

• rain, snow;
• dust, dirt;
• mosquitoes, midges.

Mounting options

Before you get acquainted with how to insert the mesh into a plastic window, you should understand the design features and fastening methods. The frame version is often used. To assemble an anti-mosquito item, you need tools, skill.

In order to profitably use the services of specialists, it is worthwhile to measure the internal opening of the installation site in advance. If desired, the material can be fixed independently. Holders should be purchased from the same company. Velcro fastening is considered an advantageous option. How to insert a mesh into a plastic window? The following mounting options are available:

• plunger - fixing with pins;
• sliding - movement along runners;
• door - hinged hinges;
• roll - unwinding from the drum;
• hooks;
• fixing the mounting angles;
• fastening with magnets;
• rotary structures;
• spring loaded pins into the inner opening.

Reliable protection

How to insert a mesh into a plastic window if there are animals at home? This requires special fasteners to protect the pet from falling. If dust tolerance is poor, you need to install a product with small cells, which will protect against the penetration of various particles. If the side is sunny, then you should choose a structure that has a reflective coating. This will keep the room cool.

Features of work

If a person can hold a screwdriver in his hands, then all the work can be done on his own. How to insert a mesh into a plastic window? It is important to understand the installation using mounting brackets. Fasteners required - 2 each upper and 2 lower.

The parts are fastened to the window with self-tapping screws from the outside. To complete the work, you need to measure the inner opening. You need to order a ready-made frame with parameters 20 mm higher than the obtained indicators, as well as buy components.

Procedure

To find out how to insert a mosquito net into a plastic window, you need to do the following work:

1. Lay down from the outside of the opening 30 mm.
2. Above it should be noted 40 mm.
3. From the bottom of the side of the opening inward, make marks with a distance of 20 mm.
4. Attach the smaller bracket, aligning the inner shelf with the bottom marks on the window.
5. Anchor
6. Fix with self-tapping screws.
7. Repeat the procedure from above using the large brackets.

Reinstallation

How to properly insert the mesh into a plastic window until the work is complete? The structure must be installed in place:

1. The frame is taken out of the window, holding the handles.
2. With a slight inclination, it should be brought up to the stop in the bracket shelf.
3. Then it needs to be vertically aligned.
4. Then it should be lowered, put on the shelf of the lower bracket.
5. To remove the procedure, follow the reverse order.

This is the answer to the question of how to insert a mosquito net into a plastic window. It's important to get the job done without haste.

Installation cost

If you do not want to do the work yourself, you can order it from the master. In Moscow, firms offer services at a cost in the range of 350 - 800 rubles. The price does not include delivery and the call of the master to measure the dimensions. For 1 sq. m. manufacturing and installation is:

1. 1200-1500 rub. - for frame.
2. RUB 2500-2800 - sliding.
3. 3500-3800 rub. - roll.
4. RUB 1,700-2,000 - option "anticoshka".
5. RUB 2400-2700 - "anti-dust".

Care

Mosquito nets are installed on various mounting options, but the care for them is the same:

1. Over time, the product becomes less elastic, therefore it breaks from small mechanical loads. The perforated canvas does not perform well with its functions, therefore periodic replacement is necessary.
2. To extend the service life, the nets are dismantled for the winter. Then the profile will not freeze.
3. After removing, the product must be washed, as a lot of dust accumulates on it.
4. None of the mounts can handle heavy loads. Therefore, if there are children or animals at home, the sash should be kept only in a folding form.
5. But there is a mesh "anti-cat", which has a reinforced canvas and reliable fasteners.

The mesh should be washed with mild detergents using a cloth. After that, the structure should dry naturally. This simple maintenance prolongs the life of the product.

Choice

A reliable product is created from an aluminum profile. The material is durable. In addition, it does not rust, does not deteriorate from temperature extremes. The thicker the profile, the better. It is preferable to purchase a product at least 1 mm thick.

For a convenient use of the mesh, it is advisable to choose a frame with solid connecting corners. Usually the main material is fiberglass, which is durable and resistant to precipitation. To protect the room from insects, you need to choose a mesh with a mesh size of no more than 2 mm.

The nets are available in gray and white. The first type is more suitable. The handles are made of high quality plastic. They are fixed with a rubber cord. If there are animals or children at home, it is better to choose a polyester mesh that can hold up to 4 kg.

Thus, the mosquito net protects against the penetration of various insects. If you wish, you can do all the work yourself. The main thing is to do everything according to the instructions.

In any region, they try to protect living quarters from insects from the street, whether it be flocks of mosquitoes or single individuals. The most environmentally friendly and safe method of protection is mechanical - equipping window and door openings with mesh structures, permanent placement or removable, compactly folding or rigid - in the form of frame shutters of a certain size.

Types of devices for protecting housing from mosquitoes

To know how to install a mosquito net - a necessary additional accessory for a window cover, 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 on the path of insects from the street to the apartment. Based on this, window and door openings of housing for protection from mosquitoes used to be equipped with any mesh material suitable at first glance - gauze, tulle, gauze fabric, steel fine-mesh construction mesh, etc. However, it soon became clear that due to certain factors these materials are losing their functionality and require repair or replacement.

Some functions of mosquito net devices

In order to choose the right canvas for mosquito protection, we list the necessary characteristics that it must have:

• the optimal combination of the mesh size and the thickness of the base material - creating an obstacle in the way of insects with an unobstructed passage of air and maintaining transparency sufficient for viewing;
• strength - the ability to withstand accidental mechanical stress and wind;
• moisture and heat resistance, resistance to ultraviolet light - the material retains 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 the cell lumens with dust attracted by static electricity;
• simplicity of daily care to maintain the necessary sanitary and hygienic condition;
• safety - absence of harmful emissions into the air.

Based on the listed requirements, not all mesh materials are suitable for durable and effective equipping of window and door openings with insect protection: gauze quickly gets dirty, stretches and impairs visibility, uncoated steel wire nets rust, and fine-meshed nylon mesh - accumulate static electricity and become clogged dust. These materials can be used only for a temporary solution to the problem, and for high-quality housing with mosquito protection, special fine-mesh mesh canvases are used.

Varieties of mosquito nets

The mosquito netting has certain characteristics.

The first one is cell size , which is in the range of 0.5 - 1.2 mm. With a decrease in the cell clearance, the protective capacity of the mesh increases - less dust penetrates into the room. But it should be borne in mind that a canvas with cells of the minimum size needs to be washed more often - as it gets dirty, its permeability to air and light quickly deteriorates. A canvas with a mesh of the maximum size is almost not a barrier to dust. Therefore, the best option when choosing the degree of protection would be a mesh with a medium-sized cell - from 0.8 to 1 mm.

The second most important characteristic of the mesh fabric, tied to the size of the cell - material of manufacture from which the canvas is produced:

• cotton - with a high resistance to ultraviolet light and a retention capacity (pile on the threads), cotton mesh is rarely used to protect against mosquitoes from the outside, since the lack of resistance to moisture and mold causes its fragility;
• polyester (nylon) - in the absence of any outstanding individual characteristics, a canvas made of a thread up to 0.8 mm thick, withstanding a weight of up to 4 kg, is strong enough, durable, cheap and therefore most common for external protection against mosquitoes;

Fine mesh mosquito fabrics: cotton on the left, polyester on the right.

• nylon - a polymer for the production of an anti-allergenic mesh of a complex fine-mesh weaving "anti-dust" that traps even flower pollen;
• steel thread - a fabric woven from steel wire is widespread 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 (PVC coated fiberglass) is the best choice due to the high transparency and durability of the fabric, which is non-combustible and resistant to all atmospheric factors.

A significant factor when choosing a mesh is also its color affecting light transmission, transparency and interior fit. The most transparent for viewing is a gray canvas, but if the window is not panoramic, this factor can be compromised in favor of the aesthetics of the canvas and choose a mesh of a different color.

Colored mesh for mosquito protection

If there are pets in the house, it becomes especially important strength mesh canvas that must be able to withstand claws, teeth or the weight of pets. The grids that can withstand these factors are combined into group "anticoshka" and are available in polyester, fiberglass and metal (steel woven and aluminum grooved).

Types of metal meshes of the "anticoshka" class: 1 - woven steel, 2, 3 - cut aluminum.

The strength of this class of honeycomb canvases allows them to be used for mosquito-proof devices installed both on large-format windows and on doorways.

Among the products offered on the modern market, mosquito blankets from such foreign manufacturers as the German Roto (Roto Frank AG), the Danish Velux (Velux Group), the Polish Fakro (Fakro Group) and the American Pfeiffer ( Phifer & Company).

Mosquito netting device designs

Mechanical protective mosquito devices are produced today in many varieties, the difference of which from each other is often not even noticeable visually. But there are two main groups of such devices:

1. frame (frame);
2. frameless.

Wireframe represent a frame of a fixed size and format, on which a mesh cloth is fixed. Such a sash can be installed on a window or door unit in the opening using the following devices:

• plungers (pins on springs);
• loops;
• Z-shaped mounts;
• corner clamps;
• rotary flag clamps;
• guide skids.

Frameless structures anti-mosquito devices include the following types:

• on adhesive mounting tape;
• roll (roller shutter);
• pleated.

If you have basic installation skills, all types of protective devices are possible for independent installation, just the installation of each of them is carried out taking into account the individual nuances of the design.

Methods for installing mosquito guards and the necessary accessories

Consider how by yourself install a mosquito net on a plastic window if the protective device is ready or half 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 spring-closers installed along the perimeter of the sash at its end and holding the frame with a mesh in the window opening by resting against the inner edge.

Important!With the plunger method of fastening, the frame with the mesh is not installed overlay on the window block, but in the opening between the sealing rubber bands, therefore the accuracy of measurements of the future frame is especially important - the distance between opposite points between the sealant is measured in several places and the average value is taken as the design one. Measurements are usually carried out by the manufacturer of the protection.

Of all the methods of installing mosquito protection, plunger 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. Having placed the frame in the window opening at the place of installation, the drilling points for installing the counter sleeves are marked with a marker along the pins. After drilling 2 holes on one side and installing sleeves in them, install the frame rods in the sockets, and push 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 net - to fill the gaps between the window block and the sash of the mosquito protection.

Spacer plungers and sealing brushes locations

After installing the remaining counter sleeves, the frame with the mesh is installed in place, bursting with plungers in the sockets.

Installation of protection against mosquitoes in the window opening on the hinges

Window sashes, as a rule, open inward, so the frame with a mosquito net is installed on the window block from the outside - overlapping with self-tapping screws.

The hinges are installed on the protection frame in such a way that their supporting half remains removable downward when the pins are directed upward.

Important!If the floor of the apartment 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 directed in opposite directions - with this fastening, the frame from the street side can be removed only by unscrewing the screws.

Fittings for swing installation of the sash: hinges, lock (magnetic and latch)

Having fastened the latch and hinges to the frame with screws, the sash is applied to the window block and centered, after which they are fixed with screws on the binding of their axial halves and the lock - it is more convenient to perform this operation together and using an electric screwdriver.

Sash and hinge mounting

Hinged installation of mosquito protection is indispensable when equipping doorways with a mesh, but it is better to install 3 hinges on the sash.

Fastening the frame with protective mesh to Z-brackets

For this method of mounting a sash with a mesh, metal fasteners of a Z-shaped configuration are used, and the elements of the upper arrangement differ from the lower brackets in the dimensions of the pressure shelf.

Z-shaped brackets and their location on the window unit

This method of attaching the wireframe mosquito protection is also quite reliable, but the location of the clamps must be precisely adjusted for height. In addition, sometimes additional gaskets have to be glued into the brackets for a more snug fit of the sash to the block.

The installation begins with the fastening of 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 laid up 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 strictly opposite the lower ones.

Z-clips: lower and upper (with a technological gap)

As can be seen from the figures illustrating the plunger and the two subsequent ways of installing mosquito flaps, the dimensions of the protective frames of the rod fixation with the same dimensions of the window opening will differ in the smaller direction, which must be taken into account if a decision is made to change the mounting option.

Binding the size of the mesh sash to the dimensions of the opening, depending on the method of installing the protection

Fixing the frame protection to the corner stops

This mounting method 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 restraints, also called pockets, are by definition mounted in the places where the corners of the protective frame adjoin the window block, while the elements of the upper row differ from the lower latches. Location measurements are made in the same way as 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 shifted to the side by a gust of wind.

Mosquito-proof frame with flag clamps

The essence of the fixing method is to use swivel 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 turn outward beyond the contour and press the frame profile to the binding.

Metal version of flag clamps

Fastening the flags to the frame is not difficult - with self-tapping screws along the sash perimeter with a step that depends on the size of the opening and the wind load on the window.

Plastic version of rotary flags

This method of fastening is inferior in reliability to the previous ones, since the landing of the flags on the sash and the density of fixation of the frame weaken over time, and therefore the brackets require periodic tightening of the screws.

Mounting the protective sash with mesh on the guide rails

Currently, plastic window blocks are produced, in the design of which a movable sash with a mesh is provided, which moves in the opening along guides located outside or inside and which are part of the profile. But such window sashes are much more expensive than usual ones, so it is more advisable to equip the window with a sliding frame yourself.

Window blocks from a profile designed for industrial equipment with mosquito shutters

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 for the installation of runners at the top and bottom of the horizontal sections of the window block, and the width depends on the size of the opening.

The rails can be made of aluminum or plastic and, depending on preference, are attached to the block from the outside or from the inside.

Important!The strips are installed between themselves at a distance that provides a gap with the sash from above of 1-2 mm for free movement of the frame at any time of the year, and strictly parallel to each other.

Samples of installed sliding mosquito doors

For easy sliding, the sash is equipped with rollers at the bottom, sliders at the top, and the contour of its abutment to the guide is finished from the back 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 sash for ease of movement, after which the complete protection is inserted into the runners. If the frame, after installation, easily moves and adjoins the block well, then limit plugs are attached to the ends of the guides.

The idea of \u200b\u200bsliding sashes will be more complete if you watch this video:

Installation of frameless mosquito net protection on adhesive tape

Of all the existing ways to protect a home from insects and dust, this method is the simplest.

The principle of fastening a protective mesh in the window opening without a frame

A sticky tape is purchased 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.

Ready-made kits of protection of a certain size are also sold, including cloth, Velcro and glue.

The accessories are available in various colors so that the installed device fits optimally into the interior of the room.

Set for mounting mosquito protection with Velcro tape

The Velcro is attached to the profile of the block from the inside with glue - after preparation of the base (degreasing and marking along a ruler). It is better to stitch the tape to the canvas on a sewing machine, having previously tucked the edges of the mesh inward.

The technology is simple, functional, cheap and safe.

Rolled (roller shutter) design of a mosquito guard

This type of device is the most modern, both in technical performance 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 a canvas is placed on an axis with a return spring, which extends along guides with brush seals to the required length if you pull on the handle located outside.

External appearance and internal device of roll-up mosquito protection

Roller shutters are manufactured in an industrial environment, while there are restrictions on dimensions: in height - up to 250 cm, in 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 cloths cannot be used.

Rolling insect protection: on the left - at the stage of installation, on the right - installed in place.

Mosquito net system "pleated"

This type of protection is a novelty in the domestic market. Each device is made for a specific size of the window opening, while the maximum dimensions are limited to 5 meters in width and 3 meters in height, which allows them to be equipped with public, administrative or sports premises with large glazing.

Schemes of the possible movement of the canvas depending on the protection design

The principle of operation of the device is to overlap the opening with an accordion-shaped mesh in the vertical or horizontal direction (depending on the design).

The constructive solution of the device imposes restrictions on the material of the canvas - a polyamide canvas is used in the "pleated" protection, the characteristics of which, however, are quite high.

Types of honeycomb canvas for pleated protection

Advantages of the "pleated" device:

• the ability to service large-area openings;
• high degree of compactness when folded;
• durability;
• wide range of colors.

Protection type "pleated" in working order

Despite the seeming complexity of the internal structure, the "pleated" is quite possible for independent installation, since in the assembled state it is a rectangular block, ready for installation on a window frame.

Installation diagram of one of the types of "pleated" mosquito protection from the domestic manufacturer "SK-F" (SKF).

In addition to high technical and aesthetic characteristics, "pleated" stands out among other types of protection and the price - from 8 thousand rubles. for 1 square meter.

Watching this video will help you to mount the pleated protection yourself:

Conclusion

In most regions of Russia, mosquito protection for door and window openings is a necessary accessory. On this basis, domestic and foreign manufacturers offer these products in a wide range of prices that can satisfy consumers even with low purchasing power. Therefore, giving priority to functionality, you can protect your home from insects and dust for a very small amount.

The main point of the article

1. The most environmentally friendly and safe protection against mosquitoes are mechanical (fencing) means, so mesh canvases are widely in demand to solve this problem.
2. Protection from mosquitoes and dust is needed not only for housing, but also for most premises for any other purpose, therefore manufacturers of mosquito protection offer devices of various functionality and performance class.
3. Despite the varying degrees of complexity of mosquito protective devices, the vast majority of them are suitable for do-it-yourself installation.
4. Ready-to-install industrial products have installation instructions to ensure 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, characteristic of this design.
5. Following the recommendations of professionals will protect from damage to the material and provide long-term and effective protection of premises from dust and insects.

Hide

Summer brings not only positive emotions and relaxation, because you shouldn't forget about annoying flies and dangerous mosquitoes that strive to fly through the open window. The mosquito net is inexpensive, but if you consider that there are several windows in the house, then the result is a pretty decent amount, which, if desired, can be saved. A do-it-yourself mosquito net is made quickly and inexpensively.

Which is better - a store-bought mesh or one made by yourself?

Buying a window mesh will cost you about 1500-2000 rubles, so for the sake of economy, you can make it yourself. Many people ask the question - how to make a mosquito net on the window? It's not difficult, especially since everything you need can be bought at a hardware store. If you are interested in the question of what mosquito nets are made of, then the answer is simple - the material is durable fiberglass with the addition of weather-resistant PVC. The higher the quality of the material, the higher the insect protection.

Before making a mosquito net with your own hands, take careful measurements, do not forget about allowances. If you are going to fasten the mesh with Velcro or glue, choose something that can be easily removed and not damage the window.

A few simple ways to make a mosquito net with your own hands

There are two types of mosquito nets that you can make yourself:

1. Secured with fixing tape is a simple and cheap way to make a do-it-yourself mosquito net.
2. Framework.
3. Rolled.

One of the easiest ways to make a do-it-yourself mosquito net is with a special material and adhesive tape.

Take a high-quality Velcro, the quality of fastening the protective mesh to the window opening will depend on this. You will also need a special material with small cells. The smaller the cells, the better. This material can be purchased at fabric stores, or you can use old items, such as unnecessary tulle. It is best to purchase a special mosquito net - it reliably protects against insects and withstands atmospheric influences.

Mosquito net fixed with adhesive tape

After all measurements are completed, take the material and cut it out, do not forget to leave small allowances. Divide the Velcro into two equal parts. Apply glue to one part and carefully stick to the window opening. After the glue has dried, attach the mosquito net to the adhesive tape. Similar meshes can be made for a car. It is done quickly and easily, with minimal costs. Instead of adhesive tape, special magnets can be used, this will significantly reduce the installation time of the mesh and simplify the process.

Frame window mesh

A more costly and complex method of making a mosquito net is a method with mounting on a frame. To do this, you will need metal corners, plastic cable and blind rivets.

The first thing to do is to measure the window from the outside, because this is where the mosquito net will be attached. Cut the cable to the desired length, keeping a 45 degree angle. Sand the sections and connect with metal corners. Now make holes in the corners where the rivets will be located. They should be outside, not inside the cord. Now it remains to fix the mosquito net itself to the frame. Do not tighten the mosquito net too much, as this can deform or tear the canvas.

Frame window mesh

You can make sliding mosquito nets with your own hands, they will work well and protect the balcony opening or the front door. A mosquito net on the balcony will help you prevent dangerous insects from entering the room and will reliably protect even from street dust. The manufacturing technology is the same, the only difference is that the material is cut in the middle, the edges are processed. For convenience, you can attach magnets or rivets to the edges of the mesh, thus providing additional protection.

Rolled mosquito net

The rolled window mesh operates on the principle of roller shutters. It will reliably protect against insects, and it is convenient and simple to use it. If you are interested in how to assemble a rolled mosquito net with your own hands, then there is nothing complicated here. You just need to be patient and have the appropriate materials.

With your own hands, you can make a mosquito net for windows of any size. To make a roll-up protective mesh, you just need a special box with a shaft and material. Use special magnetic latches to attach the mesh to the window. You can apply the fastening with overlapping screws or at the end of the guide in the opening to the slope. It is more convenient to use rolled mesh than usual, and it is much easier to care for.

Rolled mosquito net

A roll-up mosquito net on the window is an excellent protection against annoying insects. Allergy sufferers will especially appreciate this design - after all, it will protect the room not only from mosquitoes, but also from plant pollen and poplar fluff. It is best to choose a fine-grained material for such a mesh, this will increase the level of protection.

Making a mosquito net with your own hands will not be difficult. If you need a mosquito net for a balcony or window, you can make it yourself quickly and at no extra cost. Spend a few hours with this process and enjoy a calm life without annoying insects! A do-it-yourself mosquito net is very inexpensive. After the summer, it can be removed from the window and neatly packed, and next year it can be hung on the window again.

Homemade and the cheapest option for making a mosquito net without using a frame. This option is attaching the mesh directly to the plastic window profile.

With the onset of the long-awaited warm days, mosquitoes and midges come to life. It is very difficult to hide from them. They penetrate the slightest gap, strive to get to the person as soon as possible. Only a mosquito can stop them. It will also become an obstacle for poplar fluff, dust, etc. Let's figure out how to install it on a plastic window ourselves.

Selection and installation of a mosquito net

The best way to protect your home from annoying guests is the mosquito. It completely covers the frame, preventing insects from entering.

Types of mosquito nets

• Framework. This is a frame assembled from metal-plastic, on which a mesh fabric is stretched. The finished structure is attached from the outside of the window to plungers or Z-brackets. This is an economical and fairly convenient option.
• Rolled. The protection is made as an analogue, only a plastic mesh is placed instead of the fabric. The roll is attached to the top of the frame. If necessary, the edge is lowered and fixed. Convenient in operation, the price is higher than analogues.
• Swing. It looks like a frame, but the frame is reinforced. One side of it is hinged, after which the frame can swing open and close, snapping on the magnet. The design is more often chosen for doors on.
• Sliding. Component of sliding systems. This is a frame moving along the guides, on which the mesh panel is fixed. Its dimensions correspond to the sash. When one of them opens, the canvas moves and closes it.

Despite such a variety of anti-mosquito elements, frame products are most often chosen.

Take measurements

1. Open the sash completely.
2. We measure the width of the opening from one seal to another.
3. Similarly, we measure the height of the opening.

In order not to be mistaken with the dimensions, we must measure in several places. There may be slight discrepancies. We write down the obtained values \u200b\u200bwith an accuracy of millimeters.

Choose a mounting method

An important point: the choice of mounting. Plungers are placed on the frames, they are also stocks or staples. The latter option is much more common. In this case, the mosquito is placed on the outside of the window. It is inserted into brackets shaped like the letter Z. A significant drawback is that the product can be easily removed from the street. Therefore, such fasteners are placed above the first or second floor. On the lower ones, meshes are installed on the plungers. They are also attached from the outside, but the rods that fix the product in place are located on the side of the room. Thus, it is impossible to remove the protection from the outside.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the frame must accurately repeat the light opening. It is almost impossible to do this, there are always small gaps. Insects can take advantage of them. Therefore, a special brush is attached to the perimeter of the frame.

Manufactured according to the specified dimensions is issued to the customer together with the fasteners that he will install himself. Let's look at two possible options.

Workflow for the Z-shaped staple

The set includes four brackets. Two of them with a shelf side of 25 mm, two with a side of 40 mm. The larger ones are placed on top. To work, you need a drill, a 2 mm drill, a screwdriver or just a screwdriver, two self-tapping screws with a screw for each bracket.

1. We open the sash. Outside, on the lower part of the plastic frame, set aside 30 mm down, draw a line. We will install brackets along it.
2. From it we set aside the height of the mosquito, add 18 mm, draw a line. If it is possible to work from the outside, the easiest way is to attach the part to the intended bottom line, mark the top edge. Add an allowance, draw a second line.
3. We outline the areas where we will attach the brackets. We retreat 10 cm from the edge of the skylight to the left and right. We put marks.
4. We apply fasteners to the marked point so that the edge of the shelf is on the line. We mark where the holes should be. We do the same with each bracket.
5. We drill holes. We put brackets, fasten them with self-tapping screws.

It remains to put the mosquito blanket. They take him by the handles, turn him slightly to the side, take him out of the sash. Then they are brought into the upper brackets, leveled. Raised, inserted into the lower mounts, lowered slightly.

Sequence of work for corners

The installation of a mosquito net on plastic is also done on the corners. Like the brackets, they are attached to the outside of the window frame. Fasteners of a larger size are installed on top, smaller ones below. The elements are fixed with self-tapping screws. The layout and installation process is very similar to that described above. There is only one difference. Retainers "hold" the mosquito by the corners, so accurate marking is required.

The lower and upper boundaries are outlined in the same way. Then the middle of the opening is determined. From it to the right and left, lay half the width of the mesh part. The distance between the inner centers of the corners will be equal to the width of the mosquito plus 0.2 or 0.3 cm for free fixing. The installation of the frame in the corner mounts is carried out in the same way as in the brackets.

We figured out how to attach a mosquito net to a plastic one. This is not at all difficult, especially if you order a product according to your size from a company specializing in the production and installation of window systems. All that remains is to put up a protection that will block the path of annoying insects.
