What is a Barrier mosquito netting, and why does the material matter?

Barrier mosquito netting consists of a mesh barrier (either fixed or semi-fixed) that is attached directly to the window or door opening. Never hangs or drapes, but attaches to the frame and creates a continuous curtain that remains open and closed, whether the window is open or closed.

Most consumers are confused by the mesh. Cheaper nets bought from online shops are made with low-quality materials such as thin fiberglass or bad-quality polyester and start sagging and fraying after just one monsoon season. Barrier mosquito net at Unifirst Screens is made of a heavy-duty, UV resistant mosquito barrier net mesh that retains its shape in heat, rain, and direct sunlight in Nagpur as well as in other parts of the world. Without UV stabilization, a net will crack and start to rip within 12-18 months.

The ideal barrier mosquito net for any Nagpur house is one that is made of fine mesh (18×16 mesh count) and has a coated aluminum or UPVC frame. The mixture results in a rigid structure, tight mesh and sealed corners.

Frame Types Installed by Unifirst Screens

• The correct frame type must be installed together with the correct window or door style before installation commences. Unifirst Screens supports four systems:
• The easiest type of nets are those with fixed frames. The mesh is fixed to a hard frame that is fixed permanently in the window opening. These are great for windows that are not opened and closed a lot.
• Sliding barrier nets are those which slide horizontally on a track system. They are most popular for balcony doors, larger windows, and areas where ventilation is required during the day. The barrier will remain in place even if the panel is slightly open.
• Retractable nets roll or fold back when not being used. They are often found on the main entrance doors, where a permanent fixed net would be cumbersome to use.
• Magnetic nets: Net is sewn through the centre seam with a series of small magnets, so that the net can open and close automatically when people walk through it. These are usually set within the doorway of the kitchen or the back entrance.
• One of the biggest fails of a DIY screen installation is selecting the wrong frame type for the opening in question, and one of the top reasons Unifirst Screens requires a site visit before making any confirmation.

Step-by-Step Guide to Professional Barrier Mosquito Netting Installation

Check out what the life cycle of a Unifirst Screens install looks like step by step.

Step 1: Site measurement. All window and door openings are measured exactly height x width, the depth of your rebate in mm and what material your existing frame is etc. Even an error of 5 mm in measurement leads to gaps at the corners where mosquitoes can get into.

Step 2: Frame fabrication. Frames are cut and assembled based on the measurements. Unifirst Screens have aluminium section frames that are powder coated which resists corrosion and does not require touch-up.

Step 3:Mesh tensioning. Under managed strain, the extreme quality mosquito barrier internet mesh is stretched across the enclosure frame. Too little tension and the media will sag; too much tension, and you can pull the mesh threads apart over time. Experienced installers know the difference.

Step 4: Frame mounting. Frames are either screwed directly, suitably friction-fitted or connected via a dedicated channel system depending on the wall and window material. Adhesive tape is not used in the humid weater of Nagpur allows tape to lose its grip in a matter of months.

Step 5: Gap sealing. Once fitted, a brush seal or rubber gasket covers all perimeter gaps in the frame. This is the step that most installers fail to complete, and it is the step that determines whether or not the barrier

Step 6: Inspection. The finished installation is checked from both sides for mesh tension, corner gaps, and frame alignment.

The full process for a standard home four to six windows and one or two doors typically takes three to four hours.

Maintenance Tips to Make Your Barrier Mosquito Net Last Longer

• The properly installed barrier net by Unifirst Screens is low-maintenance. A couple of things to consider:
• The mesh gets accumulated dust and dirt particles over time. Cleaning using a soft brush or a low-pressure water spray every two to three months will prevent any obstructions to airflow and prolong the life of the mesh.
• Avoid cleaning the mesh with harsh chemicals or an abrasive cloth since the UV resistant mosquito barrier net can be harmed by such cleaning substances.
• Inspect the perimeter seal yearly, especially after the monsoon season. Replace any parts of the brush seal which have compressed or dislodged themselves.
• If the installation is done correctly, a properly maintained barrier net will last anywhere between seven to ten years.
