Insect screens as a solution against all types of pests
The biggest purpose and functionality of insect screens is to provide you with a carefree summer when mosquitoes love to fly around and create unpleasant problems.
In addition to the sting and itching, there is no need to mention the sweating and nervousness that occurs when you hear something buzzing around your head non-stop in the middle of the night before going to bed.
However, an insect screen is a good addition to any building throughout the year, as it does not take away from the functionality of the window, but simply continuously prevents the entry of both mosquitoes and other pests of different sizes and shapes, therefore enabling a carefree sleep and stay indoors.
Why you must have an insect screen
Some insects like to hang around windows and other openings of your home, some fly towards the light, while others are attracted by the smell of food, garbage or your sweat, and often they themselves look for shade or water left behind in the bathroom or kitchen. There are many reasons for the arrival of insects, and one of the definitive and elegant ways to prevent their arrival is an insect screen.
The insect screen will prevent the arrival of spiders, insects, flies, wasps and other smaller animals that could harm your health and disturb the well-deserved peace in your home. Here we will list the most important reasons why you should decide to install insect screens.
An insect screen will not harm the aesthetics of your home
The density and color of insect screens come in different formats and shapes, but most often they are almost transparent white insect screens as well as darkened charcoal colored insect screens. In both cases, you will not harm the appearance or design of the home.
What’s more, you won’t even notice an insect screen from the outside, while in the interior of the building, during summer days, it will create additional slight darkening and thus reduce the impact of UV rays and heat.
Insect screens allow air flow
While the insect screen prevents the entry of unwanted pests, it also allows continuous air flow, which is a very important advantage during the summer. Creating continuous air circulation through different sides and directions of the home will make the warm summer days easier, and you can forget about mosquitoes because of insect screens!
An insect screen can also prevent dust and small debris from entering, making the air that flows through safer and cleaner.
Reduce costs and maintenance
Built-in insect screens require minimal maintenance, and in almost all cases can be washed in a simple and quick way after a long period of use. Forget about electric insect repellent devices that require a direct connection to electricity or operate on replacement batteries, as well as lighting coils that can cause allergies!
In addition to not consuming electricity for anti-mosquito devices, you will reduce the need for air conditioning due to greater air flow, since your windows and balcony openings will always be open.
Better safe than sorry.
Eco-friendly method of protection against insects
Once installed, the insect screen on the window and/or balcony openings will solve the problem of insects coming through these main entrance channels of your building. There is no need to use any chemical agents that, in addition to killing insects, can also have a negative effect on the environment. This makes insect screens an environmentally conscious solution against insects.
If you are concerned about the accessibility and functionality of the opening due to the built-in screens, the decision to buy an insect screen will be made easier by the fact that there are several varieties and versions of the screen. Some allow the screen to be lowered and raised as needed. In other words, the insect screen is not a fixed accessory in such installation methods, but a manipulative upgrade to a window or balcony opening.
Adaptability and ease of use
There are several varieties and designs of screens that are easily and practically adapted to various openings in your building. Whether it’s balcony openings or different window sizes, there will always be an adaptable way to install a screen for your situation.
For those who are renting, that is, are unable to directly upgrade the window, or install an insect screen with a frame, there are simpler options that are based on gluing strips to the window frames to which a mosquito net is then attached.
The tape, as well as this form of mosquito net, can always be easily removed, and the net itself can also be washed at low temperatures in the washing machine after prolonged use and reattached afterwards.
Modern buildings often use large openings with sliding doors, and of course there are custom insect screens for such situations. The material from which the net of the screen is made can vary, and will adapt to the aesthetics of each object – modern architecture will often use aluminium shapes and formats of nets due to the variety of colors as well as the additional aesthetic emphasis it provides.
If you are looking for the ultimate comfort solution, you will probably be interested in installing an automated insect screen that can be regulated by a remote control.
Upgrade the functionality of insect screens with window shutters
If you are thinking about getting screens for the windows to make the summer period easier, then window shutters will also be a very interesting upgrade option. In the case of insect screens, the shutter itself is an upgrade to each of its elements and its purpose of existence.
The shutter will additionally contribute to the aesthetics of your building, whether it is a building of traditional or modern architecture. It also represents an additional overall layer of protection against insects, dust and debris, and allows the best light regulation for your home. In this way, on warm summer days, you can freely regulate the flow of light and air throughout the day, and at the same time prevent the entry of insects.
The shutter itself, if not completely exposed and open, will additionally protect not only your window, but also the net itself. The integrated insect screen in the shutter is also more durable, so it becomes more robust and resistant to use, and is easier to clean directly, if necessary, without removing the entire net and system.
Aluminium shutters, due to their durability as well as the possibility of complete aluminium recycling, represent another eco-friendly solution that will not cause any harm to the environment.
That’s why EUX Systems for shutters offer top quality aluminium shutters with insect screens, of which we single out two main shutter models: DINATA and FORTUNA. Both models allow the installation of a vertical or horizontal mosquito net.
