๐ช Not all mosquito screens are the same. Here are 3 types โ and how to choose.
A mosquito screen is a mesh insert that keeps insects out of an open window. The mesh you pick decides what else it blocks โ claws, dust, or light.
๐พ Anti-cat screen (pet screen)
An anti-cat screen uses PVC-coated mesh up to 7ร stronger than standard fibreglass, so claws can't tear it and pets can't push through or fall out. Best for homes with cats or dogs โ on windows and balcony doors. Colours: black, anthracite, grey.
๐ซ๏ธ Anti-dust screen (micro-mesh)
An anti-dust screen has a micro-mesh about 5ร finer than a standard screen, blocking pollen, dust and tiny midges as well as mosquitoes. Best for allergy sufferers and homes near busy roads or on lower floors. Colours: grey, black.
๐ Blackout screen (pleated)
A blackout screen is a pleated screen with light-blocking fabric โ it keeps insects out and darkens the room in one product, and slides to any height. Best for bedrooms, nurseries and skylight windows. Colours: graphite, dark grey, beige.
Which one? Pets โ anti-cat. Allergies or city dust โ anti-dust. Better sleep โ blackout.
