To prevent your patio door from becoming an entryway for insects, it’s best to install a mosquito screen for the warmer months. Insects like wasps, mosquitoes, flies, and spiders can easily enter otherwise, but with a well-fitted insect screen, you can keep these uninvited guests outside while enjoying fresh, cool air. This is especially handy when hosting gatherings and wanting to keep the door open. We offer a wide range of mosquito screens in various styles and colours – from insect screen shutters and sliding systems to pleated curtains – so there’s something to suit every tase, including practical options with magnetic closures.
There is a wide range of insect screen options available to suit different needs and types of patio or balcony doors – from simple, budget-friendly frame systems to versatile all-rounders. Depending on the intended use and installation location, various systems can offer effective protection against flying insects. Options include:
When choosing the right solution, both quality and price should be considered. A professional installation can be worthwhile, though many systems are also suitable for DIY assembly. In addition to functionality, aspects such as design, shape, and colour play an important role. White mesh allows more natural light in while offering a degree of privacy, while darker tones like brown, black, or anthracite provide better visibility through the screen.
Here is some more information on the different options available:
Many newly built homes feature large windows to let as much natural light in as possible. And even here, the right insect screen ensures you can enjoy fresh air without without any worries. The fixed frame screen is easily mounted onto the window frame – no drilling or screws required. It holds a fine mesh that keeps unwanted guests where they belong: outside.
Swing doors are the ideal insect protection solution for any frequently used patio or balcony door. Easy to install, this type of screen door opens in both directions and can be operated hands-free. A magnetic closure keeps the door securely shut, even in windy conditions, while allowing it to open with minimal effort. After all, your insect screens should never get in the way – especially when you’re heading out to the patio with both hands full.
This type of insect screen is suitable for both patio doors and all kinds of windows. Easy to open and close, the roller screen runs smoothly along guide rails fitted to the window frame, leaving no gaps for insects to sneak through. During months with fewer insects, the screen can simply be left open, and it’s easy to install yourself with just a few simple steps. Whether you’re looking for something space-saving, budget-friendly, or easy to use, an insect screen offers the perfect protection for any patio door.
For patios or balconies with limited space, sliding insect screen doors are an ideal solution. The mesh runs along a track mounted above the patio or balcony door, meaning there’s no need for extra space to swing the door open in or out. For added stability, a matching guide rail is installed at the bottom. This makes the insect screen easy to slide open and close – even for children.
The simplest option is the mosquito curtain or pleated curtains. This insect screen is quickly attached to the door frame using Velcro and is ready to use in no time. The curtain usually consists of two overlapping panels that meet in the middle to prevent insects from entering your home. A magnetic closure keeps the two parts securely sealed. This type of insect protection is also perfect as a quick or temporary solution while on holiday – whether you’re securing a holiday rental or a camper against mosquitoes, flies, wasps, or spiders.
The right frame for your mosquito screen can save you a great deal of money, time, and effort. As with all insect protection, quality in both materials and installation is key. Aluminium and uPVC are among the most common materials used for frames. Aluminium stands out for its excellent properties: it’s rustproof, weather-resistant, durable, and still lightweight.
uPVC frames, on the other hand, are especially popular for DIY kits for simpler insect screens. The components can be easily cut to the required length, making them highly adaptable.
The screen mesh itself also plays a role in achieving a harmonious appearance. Mosquito screens for patio doors are usually made from fibreglass mesh. It’s weather-resistant, durable, easy to maintain, and also available in different colours.
If you opt for a silver screen, for example, you and your guests will be better shielded from the eyes of curious neighbours. These mosquito screens are especially ideal for patio doors facing the street or when no fence or other privacy barrier is present in the garden.
An insect screen for your patio door is generally low-maintenance and easy to care for. To enjoy your insect protection for as long as possible, however, it’s worth following a few simple care tips. All you need is a bucket of lukewarm water, some dish soap, a lint-free cloth, and lubrication to keep the hinges running smoothly. With these five easy steps, you can keep your mosquito screen in great condition:
The right insect screen for a patio door doesn’t just keep insects outside – it also helps keep pets safely inside. Mosquito screen doors have the added benefit of preventing pets like dogs, cats, rodents, or birds from wandering outdoors unattended.
This means that hamsters, guinea pigs, or rabbits can move freely and safely inside the home, protected from potential dangers in the garden. Even indoor cats in apartment buildings can enjoy fresh air and a view without the risk of escaping via the balcony or patio.
