The mosquito net makes it possible to protect the interior of the house from all harmful insects without using chemical repellents. It is a sustainable method that we recommend.

There are different mosquito nets: alone or integrated into a rolling shutter with a double slide. These mosquito nets can be rolled up in an independent box or integrated into the aluminum box of the shutter or pleated for sliding mosquito nets.

You can also simply buy canvas and make a wooden frame that you attach to the window... Be careful not to damage your window frame.

How to choose your mosquito net according to your window?

There are different types of mosquito nets.

A few questions help you determine by these patterns:

  • How many times will I handle this mosquito net?
  • What type of carpentry will be concerned (window door, bay window or rolling shutter)?
  • Will I soon install my mosquito nets on an existing carpentry or will I take advantage of a renovation/construction to install them?

The roll-up mosquito net for a bedroom window

The Vertical Roll Up Screen is ideal for use on small to medium sized windows in your home. Its interior handle makes it easy to lower or raise the canvas as needed . Some models have a small cord to catch it more easily.

The professional model presented with technical advantages that you do not find on the models of the large distribution, such as:

  • The telescopic slide which catches up with the squareness of the table,
  • The double telescopic pull bar that fits perfectly on the window sill
  • The hem in the slide for better support and longevity of the fabric.
  • Bettervue black canvas, with tight fiberglass mesh to make it almost invisible (see the photo below in the article).

These little extras make installation easier, but above all ensure a perfect seal between the frame of your window and the guides, or the threshold and the pull bar. “Tiger” mosquitoes can hang on to find a passage!

The horizontally retractable mosquito net with a folded mosquito net for a French window or a sliding bay

This horizontal mosquito net is ideal for protecting passage areas such as a French window, or a sliding door that overlooks your garden.

Indeed, it allows you to open only the width necessary for your passage, unlike a roll-up mosquito net which will have to be raised over the entire width.

It will therefore be easier to handle, avoiding having to bend down each time if you had a vertically roll-up mosquito net. It makes life easier for people who have back pain. Moreover, if v

ou pass through this door regularly, the horizontal mosquito net will be more pleasant and quicker to handle.

A real pest barrier, this mosquito net will convince you from the very first use.

Mosquito net integrated into a rolling shutter with aluminum box for insulation from the outside

If you plan to change your shutters, this is the opportunity to equip yourself with shutters equipped with a roll-up mosquito repellent film in the aluminum box of the latter.

This model of shutter is equipped with a double slide on each side to allow the aluminum apron of the roller shutter to be lowered in one rail and the mosquito net in the other.

The anti-mosquito fabric unrolls manually by direct and possibly motorized pulling. The pull bar is equipped with a brush over the entire width to ensure the junction between the threshold and this bar. Thus, you are sure to prevent mosquitoes and other pests from entering your bedrooms or living rooms.

The shutter itself can be motorized. It is only the mosquito net that remains on manual use.

How to choose the right mosquito net material?

The mesh of a mosquito net fabric can be made of polypropylene threads welded together or PVC-coated glass fibers.

This type of tight mesh prevents insects from entering thanks to its fineness.

Checking the strength and quality of the fabric is of primary importance:

  • Resist bad weather,

  • to UV

  • to fire (that it meets the M1 standard)

  • handling to last longer with efficiency.

Our proposed models are dedicated to the professional market and are very robust.

What color should you choose for your mosquito net fabric?

Generally sold in white, the mosquito net does not darken the room, but offers a less good view of the outside environment.

Black in color, it creates a screen from the outside, yet appears invisible from the inside.

Between the two there are also fabrics in anthracite grey. It is the best solution for your brightness and sight.

You can see on this photo that with a black canvas the vision towards the outside is not attenuated.

Where to buy a mosquito net?

A wide choice exists. From the DIY store to his pharmacy, there is potentially a wide variety of different mosquito nets. Whether it is a simple magnetic curtain or a fixed frame for the cheapest, these models require storage for the winter and are usually less efficient than the models that can be rolled up in a roller shutter or a mosquito net box.

The advantage of our products is their professional quality and their invisibility thanks to the black Bettervue fabric. Their small boxes allow the mosquito nets to blend in with the decor and not reduce visibility when viewed from inside your home.
