How to install mosquito net

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

By their design and method of attachment, models of mosquito nets are divided into the following groups:

  • removable mesh in a frame version;
  • sliding nets;
  • rolled structures;
  • with magnet mounting;
  • with fastening on adhesive tape.

Mosquito nets do not need special care and are easily mounted in window and door openings. Their maintenance, which is carried out no more than twice a year, is often reduced to a simple washing of the cloth with a mild detergent solution.

Functional purpose

A typical mosquito net is a classic aluminum profile with a fine-meshed web of inconspicuous color stretched over it. As for the functional purpose of the mosquito cloth, then with the help of this simple device you can:

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

Installation of the finished mosquito net will not require any special skills and will be much cheaper than calling a specialist at home.

Frame grid with fasteners

The type of mounting of the grid at the place of installation depends on the place where you are going to mount it. To fix this device on a modern plastic window, for example, you will need a set of mounting brackets and several screws.

In the absence of complete fasteners in the kit, installation can be made in the following sequence:

  1. First of all, you need to try on the finished frame with the grid at the place of installation, which will allow you to mark its mounting points in the window opening.
  2. Further, it will be possible to proceed to the installation of the central and corner fixing brackets on the frame frame in accordance with the marking made earlier.
  3. After this, the mounting parts of the mounting brackets are mounted, fixed at the planned points of the window opening with self-tapping screws of suitable size. In this case, a small gap (about 10 mm) should be left under the upper fastener elements, facilitating the insertion of the edge of the frame into the window space.

Installation of mosquito nets in the balcony openings is made by simply hanging them on the hinges and installing a special holding hardware, designed in the form of magnetic clamps. First, the marking of the places of installation of the loops and their fastening with the help of self-tapping screws is done, and then (after hanging the frame and fitting) fixing magnets are installed in the right places.

Often there are situations in which there is a need to place an order for the manufacture of a new mosquito cloth (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 need to remove the dimensions of the open window opening (its width and height) and add 2 cm and 3 cm to the results, respectively.

After completing the order, you should receive from the contractor a ready-made frame with a mosquito net complete with a set of fasteners for it. This kit should include two pairs of fasteners mounted on the upper and lower 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 much wider than the lower ones.

Attaching to existing fasteners

If there are elements of the internal fastening on the window frame, the grid frame is taken over the side faces (or special handles) and is simply wound with its upper edge under the brackets with simultaneous lifting of the whole frame up to the stop. Then, the lower edge of the mesh is inserted into the fastening elements located at the bottom of the structure, after which the frame is simply lowered into them and aligned to the installation site.
