Installation of mosquito nets: Step-by-step instructions

Now it is impossible to imagine metal-plastic windows without mosquito nets. In the summer, without defense, it is not necessary, because insects (mosquitoes, midges and flies) are storing to penetrate the dwelling. In addition, the mosquito net serves as protection against dust, garbage and fluff. You can order a mosquito net complete with windows and immediately install it after mounting window blocks or purchase separately.

The classic version of the mosquito net is made of aluminum profile, which is stretched by a mesh cloth. Standard mosquito nets on the windows are made of a fine grid of a gray shade to protect our dwellings from the penetration of annoying mosquitoes and flies. In the past century, when no one knew about metal-plastic windows, there were no mosquito nets. In those days, people cling to gauze or mesh cloth. If it was very hot on the street to sleep at night calmly and not worry that all family members could bite mosquitoes, the windows were discovered, and the free opening was wrapped in a subtle cordan cannol. Naturally, such protection did not work and the insects still flew into the premises.

Now about the buzz of mosquitoes and sleepless nights you can forget and order special plastic mosquito nets.

The main task of grids is to ensure reliable protection of housing from the penetration of flies, mosquitoes and midges. In addition, the grid delays dust, garbage and small particles that can cause allergies. If you set mosquito nets on the windows and doors, you can not worry about your safety and security of pets. Suppose you live on the 5th floor or higher, you want to open the windows window to air the rooms, but afford such a luxury you are unable because your favorite cat can fall out of the window. If there is a mosquito net, it can be avoided.

In addition to the advantages of protective nets, there is another important plus - simplicity in care. Twice a year, the mesh is cleaned from dust and contaminants with a soft sponge with a soap solution. After half an hour, the grid put on the previous place.

Types of protective products

Cost, method of fastening and configuration of mosquito nets may differ. Consider the main types of protection:

• on a frame of a robust frame, a removable design;
• sliding design on the frame;
• rolled;
• magnetic tape or scotching;
• the product with the applied composition, protecting the dwelling from dust;
• durable grid - protection from pets of domestic animals.

Consider popular types of mosquito nets used to install on windows and doors.

If your home has animals (dog or cat), then the safety of pets also need to take care. You can order a protective grid with a funny name "Antikushka". It is made of durable material, so the mesh is able to withstand a larger load. If the animal tries to break the grid with curls - nothing will work. Mosquito net will remain as strong. To spoil protection or tear her pet can not. For safety, this mesh model has a durable mount, so it can not be removed for the winter.

Sliding mosquito net is suitable for installation on balconies and terraces. Consists of 2 sliding halves that open and closed at pressure. To function correctly, you must install the guides, they serve to adjust and move halves. The color of the mesh canvas is standard, gray. By the way, mosquito nets of any kind are made of a gray shade cloth. Such a color does not impair visibility and does not affect vision.

Mosquito net on magnets is a convenient solution. This model is considered universal because it is possible to order a grid of any size to install in the country, take with you to rest or provide protection in the home where non-standard sizes are installed. Among the advantages of this type of grid, it is worth noting the simplicity of installation - it is necessary to remove the protective tape and apply the grid to the metal-plastic window. Due to the magnetic ribbon, it will be firmly held on the frame. There is a second option to protect the windows, but instead of a tape with a magnet, the grid is equipped with a sticky ribbon (by type of bilateral tape).

Among the disadvantages of the mosquito net in rolls should be noted a short time. In addition, this design is unable to be called.

The classic option is a grid stretched into a durable plastic frame. It can be made of standard mesh canvas with small cells, with protection from calates of domestic animals and with a special coating - dust protection. Mosquito net is installed on both the doors and windows.

A variant of the mesh with dust protection is made of a canvas with very small cells that are able to delay large dust particles. This is the main advantage of mosquito net, disadvantage - complex care. Since the product delays dust, then it is necessary to clean the canvas often. To do this, remove the design, rinse with a stream of warm water, then apply a soap solution, wait 5-7 minutes and rinse with warm water again. After water procedures, the grid must be carefully wired with a soft cloth (not wet) to check how effectively the cells from dust were cleaned. Despite the quick pollutability, the grid misses the light. The cost of such protection will be 2 times higher than the price of a conventional mosquito net.

Mosquito net

Depending on the selected type of mesh, the mount may be different:

• fastening "ears";
• loops;
• plunger pins;
• fasteners "Z-shaped".

Popular and frequently used fasteners for the installation of mosquito nets are fasteners in the form of the letter "Z". Installation using such fixtures will be easier and more reliable. It is important that it is not necessary to make holes in the metal-plastic frame. In addition, the grid can be installed not only on plastic windows, but also on wooden frames. Of the disadvantages it is worth noting only one thing, such a mosquito net holder does not provide dense fit to the frame, so small insects can still squeeze through a small hole.

Reliable mounting option - the use of pins. They screw in the window frame, so the mesh fit tightly and insects cannot penetrate inside the housing. Ease of installation and fastening reliability - it is worth paying attention to it. It is also important that the grid can be easily dismantled for the winter or in order to wash away from pollution.

Mounting on the loop is best to choose when you need to install the grid on the door. Then it is desirable to order a durable profile with an additional jumper so that the design over the years has not saved under the weight of its own weight.

How to install mosquito net

By ordering mosquito nets on the windows, you get your order with the desired set of fasteners. When removing measurements, it is necessary to specify the fastening issue so that the manufacturer makes mosquito nets and provided a complete set of fasteners. If you are engaged in these questions yourself, then you need to familiarize yourself with some nuances in order to correctly remove measurements.

What you need to know:

1. Open the window. Take the construction roulette and measure the free opening first horizontally (a), then vertically (B). Record measurements on a sheet of paper.
2. Next, depending on the selected fastening type, you will need to add a few millimeters to the resulting digit.

If you want to work with zigzag fastening ("z"), to the resulting digit of measurements in width and height (A and B) you need to add 5 cm. So we get a clean size of height and width. Fastenings are needed by 2: lower and upper, plus another 8 screws (size 3.2 x 16).

If you want to install mosquito nets on the windows to the brackets, then to the resulting digit "A" (width), you need to add 5 cm to the measurements at a height of +18 mm.

When mounting meshes on the pins add to 2 mm measurements on each side.

ATTENTION if there are protrusions in the window opening, which may interfere with the installation of the grid, it is necessary to notify the manager when ordering. It is also desirable to take a picture of the window and tell it to those skilled in the art that you have done measurements to avoid annoying misunderstandings upon receipt of the order and independent installation.

After you have chosen the mesh fastening method, you must prepare tools. An electric drill can be useful if you need to drill holes for loops.

Features of mosquito nets:

1. We make marking for fasteners. For the standard dimensions window, 4 elements can be distinguished, for large windows - 8.
2. After the marked markup with a drill, we drill holes in the mosquito net frame.
3. Applying apply to the frame, screw the screws, check your work.
4. Now you need to make 2 more markings for fixing holders. Making measurements vertically divide resulting in half the number - this will be the attachment point.
5. Screws are screwed into the plastic frame grid holders, check the strength. The material can be different: from plastic or metal. If you chose the first option, then it is desirable to treat the holders of very carefully, because they quickly break down.

How to insert a mosquito net

Many people who decide to perform the installation of nets, asking: "How to wear a mosquito net" in the window. This work is simple, the main thing - be careful not to accidentally drop a grid on land.

It is necessary to turn to the "from ourselves" the fastener ("ears" or holders) to put the grid. Now take the grid for the holders and gently output the grid to the window, now get it back, insert into the bottom and lock on top. Hold the grid for the holder with one hand, try to rotate the fasteners to fix the frame. That's all, you successfully coped with the work, now you can enjoy the fresh air, without fear that insects will disturb you.

We looked at the external method of fastening mosquito nets on the windows. There is another method that can be used for installation of protective structures is an internal mount.

Main installation is somewhat different:

• around the perimeter of the window opening it is necessary to drill holes;
• next, fix the fasteners;
• install the handles in the middle of the mosquito net;
• we take the grid for holders, we start the grid first over the window to install the lower part of the mesh in the groove;
• next, we lower the cloth and align in the opening.

At first glance, the installation may seem like a challenging task, but if you are in the subtleties of the mosquito mosquito mosquito, then you will enjoy from the work done. Just remember that regardless of the selected fastener method, the grid is not calculated on a strong mechanical pressure, so you do not need to let it close to the open windows of your pets and children.

How to remove the grid

For the winter it is best to shoot mosquito from windows to protect them from harsh weather conditions. If there is no possibility to remove the grids so that they do not be damaged in the room, then they can be left on the windows. Nothing terrible with grids will not happen, only the life of the products will be reduced.

To remove the grids, you need to do the opposite: first unscrew the ears or brackets (do not forget to hold the product with one hand for the holder). Next, remove the outward grid, deploy and add to the room. Perform this work extremely careful not to miss the grid to the ground.

You can care for grids and need. At the end of the summer season, when it was cool on the street, protection can be removed and wash. You can simply wipe the product with a wet sponge to remove dust, fluff and dry insects, but best, attribute meshes in the bathroom and clean it warm with warm water with a detergent. You don't need to rub too much, it is not necessary to walk with a damp sponge along the surface to remove the contamination, then apply a soap solution, wait a few minutes and washed off with water. Such manipulation must be made at least 2 times a year.
