As soon as summer comes, the owners of all apartments open the windows to allow fresh air to enter. However, the pleasant coolness is overshadowed by various insects that do not allow you to sleep peacefully and bite throughout the night. To protect yourself from such a nuisance, you should figure out how to install mosquito net.

A standard mosquito net is made in the form of an aluminum profile with fine-mesh material stretched over it. The canvas has a gray color that is not noticeable, while the color of the profile is similar to the color of the window.

Mosquito cloth performs several functions:

1. Protecting your home from insects.
2. Prevents the penetration of small plant particles that can lead to allergies, as well as particles of howl and dirt.
3. With the help of a screen, you don't have to worry about the safety of your pets when you have an open window.

Characteristic

Mosquito nets have one significant advantage - easy maintenance. It is enough to wash the fabric a couple of times a year with a mild detergent. It can also be removed quite easily, so it won’t take much time to clean.

The process of manufacturing and installing the mesh also does not require the investment of excessive effort or the possession of special skills and tools. Self-installation and production of a mosquito net will require much lower financial costs than ordering from a company that installs PVC windows.

The mesh can be installed on a door or window opening of any size. This work does not take much time and depends on the complexity of the installation. Installing a standard frame mesh will take no more than 2 hours.

If the old grid malfunctions, it is enough to order the same one by removing it exact dimensions. Moreover, the fastening system on the windows themselves is already available. In this case, great attention must be paid to the choice of the company to which you will give the order. You can contact the company that installed the windows, but it will cost you much less to buy from a wholesale warehouse that specializes in selling components for manufacturing companies.

If your window was installed during winter time, there is a possibility that the mosquito net will simply not be included in your order when you place it. In this case, measurements must be performed differently:

1. Open the frame for which the future mosquito cloth is intended.
2. Measure the width and height of the open opening.
3. Next, add 3 cm in height and 2 in width to the results obtained.

When the order is ready, you should be given both the mesh itself and the fasteners for it. Fasteners include two pairs (upper and lower).

When installing, do not mix up the fasteners: the upper strip is much wider than the lower one.

Installation

• Install the fasteners from below so that the mesh subsequently installed in it is located 1.5 cm lower than the window opening;
• Next, secure the top fasteners to the frame. To determine their height, measure the distance from the bottom fastener, including the height of the mesh itself, and add 10 mm;
• Install the frame as follows: pull it out through the window, then insert it into the groove of the upper fastener, pull the frame towards you and lower it into the lower groove.

To install mosquito nets, you can use two fastening methods. Let's look at them below.

Internal fastenings

Installation is carried out as follows: take the product by the side handles, place the hooks on top of the window overlay and lift the mesh up to the end. After this, place the hooks from below behind the frame flange and lower the product onto the lower fasteners. Next, align the mosquito net in the window opening.

External fastenings

This method is more reliable and practical, but more dangerous, since to attach the corners to the screws you need to lean outside the window. If you have no previous installation experience in this way and you live on high floor, entrust this work to specialists.

Installation is carried out in the following order:

• The upper fastenings are fixed with screws at a distance of 5 cm from each edge. The screws used should be no larger than 2 cm, otherwise they will rest against the window frame.
• Having installed the upper fastenings, proceed to the lower ones, for fixing which there are also two ways:

1. Suitable when there is external access to window profile: you need to take the product, install it in the upper fastener, pull the mesh towards you and press the lower edge to the profile. At this time, another person should make a mark on the outside of the bottom edge. By mark made secure the lower fasteners with screws.
2. In this case, after installing the upper fasteners, measure the length of the product, add 2.7 cm. Measure the total length from the end of the fastener from above. Make a mark and screw the bottom element according to it.

At this point, the installation process is completed, and you can enjoy fresh air without fear of various insects.

This video shows the process of installing a mosquito net.

The design of a mosquito net usually includes:

• frame profile;
• mullion profile;
• special connecting corners;
• fastening cord;
• corner profile;
• 4 plastic or metal holders (z-mounts).

After attaching the mosquito net to balcony door, window in the room or on the balcony, you can completely forget about annoying insects. This will help you avoid using fumigators and other health hazards. chemicals for insect control. In addition, the device protects against dirt, dust, and the penetration of allergens into the house - plant particles, poplar fluff. It also ensures the safety of pets when the window is open.

Among the main advantages of this design:

1. Ease of use. How to remove a mosquito net from a window? - you won’t have such a question, since the nets are easy to install and just as easy to remove if necessary - for washing, for example.
2. The mesh can be washed regular soap and a sponge.
3. Aesthetics and attractive appearance - the installed mesh will not spoil even the elaborate design of the room.
4. The mesh has tiny holes that can protect not only from insects, but also from raindrops. At the same time, the material does not block the view from the window in any way or impede the access of fresh air.
5. The design is durable because it includes metal (aluminum) frame elements and fiberglass.
6. The material is incredibly resistant to stretching, tearing, bending tension, and in addition, does not fade in the sun.
7. Due to its small thickness, the mesh is compact, which means it can be stored anywhere.

Types of mosquito nets

When deciding how to install a mosquito net on plastic windows, it is worth determining what type of structure you will use. The main varieties here are:

1. Framework It is considered the simplest and most affordable in terms of cost. It can be removable and extendable. This type is ideal when there is no need to constantly open the mesh. If the mesh is made large, then an additional reinforcing bar is installed in the middle.

   

2. One of the varieties of frame mesh is considered to be plunger mesh - it is not attached to special corners, but is mounted directly into the window opening.

   

3. Velcro design or tape is also elementary. It is mounted on inside window sash and can be easily removed if necessary.

   

4. The mosquito net can be attached to the balcony door by type standard door . It is hinged and opens inward or outward - just like a regular door. In the closed position, the mesh is held by special magnets, and a handle is provided for convenient opening.

   

5. Roll considered one of the newest inventions. It includes a guide profile, a mesh roll and a special crossbar with handles. The principle of using the product is reminiscent of roller shutters - when open, the mesh is hidden in a box above the door. This perfect solution for large window openings and glazed balconies.
6. Pleated similar to a roll structure, but moves horizontally, gathering into an accordion. This mesh can decorate the interior with its original appearance. Designers often decorate pleated designs with drawings and other decorative elements, experimenting with colors.

More information about various types You will find mosquito nets for windows in our article. You will also learn about proper care for such designs.

We talked about the features of nets for balcony doors on how to make a net for a door with your own hands.

And about that, read here. In the warm season, this thing can be very useful, especially if your windows are on the sunny side.

Features of fastening mosquito nets

Attaching a mosquito net to plastic windows or doors can be done in 4 basic types fasteners:

1. The plunger mount is considered the most expensive, but also the most reliable and resistant to wind. The plunger is a special metal part with length adjustment. It uses springs. The mesh with this fastening is easy to remove and put on. By the way, the plunger is suitable for windows of any type.
2. The most unreliable fastening is considered to be a “flag” fastening - fastening using small plastic hooks. However, it can break off if there is a strong gust of wind.
3. Metal corners (z-shaped fasteners) also make the fastening reliable. However, such corners must be tightly fitted to the frame, and also additionally secured to it from inside the room.
4. Plastic corners are also considered a popular type of fastening. They are located on the outside without changing the design of the windows. The mesh can be easily removed if necessary. In addition, this design will not interfere with the normal closing of the window.

How to install a mesh on a balcony door

Work on installing a mosquito net on a balcony door should begin with the correct measurements - when open door from the outside and always close. After this, the method of fastening the structure is determined - it depends on the design features of the door and the location of the mesh.

Then the tools and components necessary for the work are prepared - these are self-tapping screws, a screwdriver, hinges and a clamping mechanism, magnets. Before installing the mosquito net, the places where the hinges are attached are marked, after which the hinges are fixed to door profile self-tapping screws. After the loops are inserted into the mosquito net, a clamping mechanism is installed. At the final stage, clamping magnets are installed, which are also secured with self-tapping screws.

Installing a mosquito net on a window

Installing a mosquito net with your own hands on plastic windows begins with assembling the structure.

Tip: Before you start installing and assembling the mesh with your own hands, you need to take the correct measurements.

As a rule, the size of the anti-mosquito structure practically corresponds to the dimensions of the window sash. This needs to be checked - the window sash is opened and measured along the light opening, after which 20-30 mm is added to the height and width.

The plastic frame profile is cut in strict accordance with the window opening. An additional crossbar can also be mounted here - it is designed to increase the rigidity of the structure, which is necessary with a large height-to-width ratio.

At the top and bottom, the frame profile is reinforced with an impost, usually made of aluminum. This guarantees the strength of the entire product.

After the profile is ready for assembly, it is connected with corners. These corners are made of especially durable PVC (1-2 mm thicker than the profile) - therefore, the structure becomes resistant to deformation.

The mesh is pulled over a fastening cord, and then this cord is mounted from the inside into the frame profile, as a result of which the fabric is reliably stretched and completely secured.

After that, metal corner profile elements are mounted on the frame, which are needed to secure the structure in the window.

Lastly, 2 handle holders are attached to the mosquito net, thereby ensuring ease of installation. Then the fully assembled mosquito net is installed on the window.

If you are going to install an anti-mosquito net on a window, and you already have it in assembled form, then keep in mind that the width finished product should exceed the dimensions of the window opening by 2 cm, and the height - 3 cm. Together with the mesh, special fasteners are supplied in the amount of 4 pieces. (2 pairs). Each pair has an upper and a lower element, with the upper one being wider than the lower one.

These fasteners are placed on the frame and screwed - the main thing is not to confuse the sequence. So, the lower elements are attached first - so that the edge installed mesh shifted 1.5 cm below the window opening. And in order to determine the place of fastening of the upper element, add 1 cm to the height of the mesh and measure this distance from the fastenings below. The mesh is simply inserted into the grooves, being attracted to the frame and falling down.

As a result of simple manipulations, you will receive an effective barrier to insects and reliably protect your home from blood-sucking flies, wasps and moths. In addition, the mesh cells allow you to capture even small particles of dust and large debris - which means even the air in your room will become cleaner.

Installing a mosquito net on a plastic window video

And here you can watch a video that demonstrates the installation of a mosquito net on a PVC window using plastic fasteners.

This article is devoted to the simplest devices that allow you to protect living quarters from the penetration of mosquitoes and other annoying insects - mosquito nets.

According to their design and method of fastening, models of mosquito nets are divided into the following groups:

• removable mesh in frame design;
• sliding nets;
• roll structures;
• with magnetic mount;
• with tape fastening.

Mosquito nets do not require special care and are easily installed in window and door openings. Their maintenance, performed no more than twice a year, most often comes down to simply washing the fabric with a mild cleaning solution.

Functional purpose

A typical mosquito net is a classic aluminum profile with a fine-mesh fabric of inconspicuous colors stretched over it. Regarding functional purpose mosquito cloth, then with the help of this simple device you can:

1. Protect your home from various insects entering it.
2. Prevent dust and small particles from entering the room plant origin, which are the cause of allergic diseases.
3. Protect pets from accidentally falling from an open window.

Installation of a ready-made mosquito net will not require any special skills and will cost much less than calling a specialist to your home.

Frame mesh with fastening elements

The type of fastening of the mesh at the installation location depends on where you are going to install it. To attach this device to a modern plastic window, for example, you will need a set of mounting brackets and several self-tapping screws.

If the kit does not include ready-made fasteners, installation can be done in the following sequence:

1. First of all, you need to try on the finished frame with a mesh at the installation site, which will allow you to mark its attachment points in window opening.
2. Next, you can proceed to installing the central and corner mounting brackets on the frame in accordance with the previously made markings.
3. After this, the mounting of the mating parts of the fastening brackets is carried out, secured at the designated points of the window opening using self-tapping screws of a suitable size. In this case, a small gap (about 10 mm) will need to be left under the upper fastening elements, making it easier to insert the edge of the frame into the window space.

Installation of mosquito nets in balcony openings is carried out by simply hanging them on hinges and installing special retaining fittings, designed in the form of magnetic clamps. First, the locations for installing the hinges are marked and secured using self-tapping screws, and then (after hanging the frame and trying on) in the right places Fixing magnets are installed.

There are often situations in which there is a need to place an order for the production of a new mosquito net (in case of wear or damage to the old frame, for example). In this case, you will need to make all installation measurements yourself. To do this, you will need to take the dimensions of the open window opening (its width and height) and add 2 cm and 3 cm to the results obtained, respectively.

After completing the order, you should receive from the performing company a ready-made frame with a mosquito net complete with a set fastening elements for her. This kit should include two pairs of fasteners to be installed on the top and bottom edges of the structure. When installing, try not to confuse the upper and lower sets of fasteners, while paying attention to the fact that the upper strips are noticeably wider than the lower ones.

Hanging on existing fasteners

If there are elements on the window frame internal fastening the mesh frame is taken by the side edges (or special handles) and simply placed with its upper edge under the brackets while simultaneously lifting the entire frame upward until it stops. The bottom edge of the mesh is then inserted into fasteners, located at the bottom of the structure, after which the frame is simply lowered into them and aligned to the installation site.

In any region, they try to protect living quarters from insects from the street, be they flocks of mosquitoes or single individuals. The most environmentally friendly and in a safe way protection is mechanical – window and doorways mesh structures, permanently placed or removable, compactly folding or rigid - in the form of frame doors of a certain size.

Types of devices for protecting homes from mosquitoes

To know how to install a mosquito net - a necessary additional accessory for window frames, let's take a closer look at the most common designs of these protective devices and their characteristics.

The main task of such nets is to create a barrier to the path of insects from the street to the apartment. Based on this, window and door openings of housing for protection against mosquitoes were previously equipped with any mesh material that was suitable at first glance - gauze, tulle, gauze fabric, fine-mesh steel construction mesh, etc. However, it soon became clear that due to certain factors these materials lose their functionality and require repair or replacement.

Some functions of mosquito net devices

To choose the right fabric for mosquito protection, we list the necessary characteristics that it must have:

• the optimal combination of mesh size and the thickness of the base material - creating a barrier in the path of insects while allowing the unhindered passage of air and maintaining sufficient transparency for viewing;
• strength - the ability to withstand random mechanical impacts and wind;
• moisture and heat resistance, ultraviolet resistance - the material preserves 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 cell openings with dust attracted by static electricity;
• ease 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 protection against insects: gauze quickly becomes dirty, stretches and impairs visibility, mesh made from steel wire without coating they rust, and fine-mesh nylon ones accumulate static electricity and become clogged with dust. These materials can only be used for a temporary solution to the problem, but quality arrangement Mosquito protection for housing uses special fine-mesh mesh canvases.

Types of mesh for mosquito repellent devices

Mosquito repellent mesh has certain characteristics.

The first of them is cell size , which is in the range of 0.5 – 1.2 mm. As the cell lumen decreases, the protective ability of the mesh increases - less dust will penetrate into the room. But it should be borne in mind that fabric with cells of minimal size must be washed more often - as it becomes dirty, its permeability to air and light quickly deteriorates. Canvas with a cell maximum size There is almost no barrier to dust. That's why the best option when choosing the degree of protection, there will be a mesh with a cell of medium size - from 0.8 to 1 mm.

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

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

Fine mesh mosquito repellent fabrics: on the left – made of cotton, on the right – made of polyester.

• nylon is a polymer for the production of an anti-allergenic mesh of complex fine-mesh “anti-dust” weaving, which traps even flower pollen;
• steel thread - fabric woven from steel wire is widely used 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 (glass fiber coated with PVC) – best choice, due to the high transparency and strength of the canvas, which does not support combustion and is resistant to all atmospheric factors.

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

Colored mesh fabrics for mosquito protection

If there are pets in the house, it becomes especially important strength cellular canvas, which must withstand the impact of claws, teeth or the weight of pets. Grids that can withstand these factors are combined into "anti-cat" group and are produced from polyester, fiberglass and metal (woven steel and aluminum perforated).

Types of metal mesh of the "anti-cat" class: 1 - woven steel, 2, 3 - aluminum perforated.

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

From the products offered modern market, anti-mosquito cloths from such foreign manufacturers as the German Roto (Roto Frank AG), the Danish Velux Group, the Polish Fakro Group and the American Pfeiffer (Phifer & Company) have proven themselves well.

Designs of mesh devices for protection against mosquitoes

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

1. frame (frame);
2. frameless.

Frame They are a frame of a fixed size and format on which a mesh fabric is attached. On a window or door block Such a sash can be installed in the opening using the following devices:

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

Frameless designs mosquito repellent devices include the following types:

• on sticky mounting tape;
• roll (roller);
• pleated.

If you have basic installation skills, all types of protective devices can be installed. self-installation, simply the installation of each of them is carried out taking into account the individual nuances of the design.

Methods for installing mosquito repellent devices and necessary accessories

Let's see how on one's own install a mosquito net on a plastic window if the protective device is ready or semi-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 closer springs, installed around the perimeter of the sash at its end and holding the frame with the mesh in the window opening by resting on the inner edge.

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

Of all the methods for installing mosquito protection, the plunger method 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. By placing the frame in window opening at the installation site, use a marker to mark the drilling points along the pins for installing the mating sleeves. Having drilled 2 holes on one side and installed sleeves in them, install the frame rods in the sockets and rest 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 mesh to fill the gaps between the window block and the mosquito protection sash.

Locations of spacer plungers and sealing brushes

After installing the remaining response sleeves, the frame with the mesh is installed in place, pushing the plungers into the sockets.

Installing mosquito protection in a window opening on hinges

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

Hinges are installed on the protection frame in such a way that their supporting half remains removable downwards when the pins are directed upwards.

Important! If the apartment is on the first floor, 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 only be removed by unscrewing the screws.

Accessories for swinging the sash: hinges, lock (magnetic and latch)

Having secured the latch and hinges to the frame with screws, the sash is applied to the window block and centered, after which their axial halves and the lock are fixed with self-tapping screws on the frame - it is more convenient to perform this operation with two people and with the help of an electric screwdriver.

Installation of hinges and lock on the sash

A swing installation of mosquito protection is indispensable when equipping doorways with mesh, but it is better to install 3 hinges on the door.

Fastening the frame with a protective mesh to Z-shaped brackets

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

Z-shaped brackets and their location on the window block

This method of attaching frame mosquito protection is also quite reliable, but the location of the clamps must be precisely adjusted to the height. In addition, it is sometimes necessary to glue additional gaskets into the brackets to ensure a tighter fit of the sash to the block.

Installation begins by fastening 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 set upward 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 exactly opposite the lower ones.

Z-clamps: lower and upper (with technological gap)

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

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

Fixing frame protection to corner stops

This method of fastening 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 stops, also called pockets, by definition are mounted in places where the corners of the protective frame adjoin the window block, and the elements of the top row differ from the bottom stops. Measurements of the location are made identical to the layout of the Z-brackets.

The location of the upper and bottom row"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 moved to the side by a gust of wind.

Mosquito frame with flag clips

The essence of the fixation 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 are turned outward beyond the contour and press the frame profile to the binding.

Metal version of flag clamps

Attaching the flags to the frame is not difficult - using self-tapping screws along the perimeter of the sash in increments depending on the size of the opening and the wind load on the window.

Plastic version of rotary flags

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

Installation of a protective sash with a mesh on the guide rails

Plastics are currently being produced window blocks, the design of which includes a movable sash with a mesh that moves in the opening along guides located outside or inside and which are part of the profile. But such window frames are much more expensive than conventional ones, so it is more advisable to equip the window with a sliding frame yourself.

Window blocks made from a profile designed for industrial installation with mosquito sashes

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

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

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

Samples of installed sliding mosquito protection doors

For easy sliding, the sash is equipped with rollers on the bottom and sliders on top, and the contour of its junction with the guide is finished on the back side with a brush seal.

Using a tape measure and building level The installation of the guides is marked, after which they are fastened with self-tapping screws.
