Insect screen Selection Guide

In our country, due to the Mediterranean climate, we have long periods with high temperatures. So the doors and windows are always open in the evenings to enjoy the cool summer breeze. But by opening our windows, we have uninvited visitors. How many times have not hunted insects, small birds but also animals.

The solution is the screens! We all know their usefulness and now we will also learn the choices we have, according to our needs. New generation screens impress not only with their improved aesthetics, but also because they can now be easily installed without the need of a specialiste, a solution that most of us prefer today.

Now we can have screens that:

• Children or we will not stumble when we pass because they have no rolling guides.
• They remain open to the desired point.
• They are highly resistant to stress and are ideal for areas with strong winds.
•  They have brakes and so we can avoid accidents when they are picked up. They are ideal for those who have little children.
•  They have excellent visibility to enjoy the exterior view and we do not need to open them all the time.
•  They have a special door for pets.
•  They are economical without being deprived of quality and aesthetics.

There are several types of screen. Pleated meshes are the most modern ones. They are usually installed in balcony doors and windows. They are distinguished for easy use even in large openings. They are also suitable for the elderly and for the disabled.

Horizontal motion screens are ideal for balcony doors and windows. Their operation is done by means of a manual mechanism which regulates the smooth movement of the screen.

Vertical motion screens are the most economical and ideal for windows. They can also be placed in doors, but they are not particularly ergonomic. It is preferable to be used in doors of sparse passage and to be avoided by elderly users.

The opening screens are ideal for central entrances and kitchen doors, because they can withstand frequent use and are more durable.

Sliding screens have 2 types, single-leaf and two-leaf. One-sided screens are ideal for sliding window frames and V.W frames. Two-sided screens are ideal for large openings, while they provide solutions to frames that passage is frequent. Their advantages are their very low maintenance costs.
