Curtains mesh - a universal and safe means of protecting the premises from insects (22 photos)

No one doubts the importance of protecting the room from mosquitoes and flies in the hot summer season, when everyone opens windows and doors in anticipation of fresh and cool air. However, the use of conventional textile curtains is not enthusiastic. The canvases are confused in the drafts, they do not guarantee reliable protection from insects, and their aesthetic appearance is very doubtful.

With the development of technology and the installation of plastic structures, special models of curtains have appeared that are hung on openings.

A mosquito curtain on the door is an ideal option for protecting the room (living room, kitchen) from insects and street dust with the balcony door open. Modern models fit perfectly into the interior and are easy to install. The magnet grid is made of thin and strong polyester threads. The cell sizes do not allow midges and mosquitoes to get into the house, but they do not hold fresh air from the street.

Manufacturers offer several models of grids that differ in the arrangement of magnetic elements:

• with separate magnetic latches;
• with magnetic tapes threaded into the wings along the edges of the canvases;
• with small magnetic pickups, evenly spaced along the edges of the wings.

Each buyer decides independently which curtain on the door with magnets to give preference. There are no functional differences between these products.

The mosquito net-curtain has the following advantages:

• durability - the material is resistant to weather changes (temperature and humidity changes); after cleaning of any kind (manual, mechanical, chemical), the material fully retains its qualities, and the strength of the magnets is not lost. The synthetic fabric does not fade in the sun and can be cleaned many times;
• comfortable use is provided by fixing the mesh on the top and sides of the opening. Between the canvases you can freely pass, as the elements are easily disconnected and connected. Streaks of material do not need to be adjusted because they are not confused. So that the fabric in everyday life does not get dirty quickly, the material is impregnated with special compounds that repel dirt;
• reliability - a snug fit of the mesh along the contour of the opening guarantees high protection against insects;
• aesthetic appearance and variety of colors allow you to choose a mosquito model for an apartment with any environment. Products with drawings or ornaments are sold. A curtain-grid in the interior can become a bright decorative element or imperceptibly fit into the design of the room;
• simple installation process: no special tools or skills required. The parameters of the panels are standard: the height is 2.0 - 2.1 m, and the width of one strip is about 46 cm. If the doorway has smaller parameters, then the mesh on the door is easily trimmed;
• affordable cost - you don’t need to save money or take a loan for such a product.

Mosquito curtain on the door: installation steps

For the product to work seamlessly, there is no need to rush when attaching. Accurate installation eliminates the possibility of distortions when fixing the material.

The kit contains two sheets of fine mesh, two magnetic tapes, weighting weights, decorative trim and fasteners (adhesive tape or special buttons).

1. The tape fastening the canvas cloth is cut.
2. Weighting materials are inserted into the lower parts of the strips, which will create a constant tension of the material. Sometimes models are sold in which the weights are inserted into the canvas by the manufacturer.
3. The magnetic strips are neatly disconnected and threaded into specially sharpened waders at the edges of the curtains. At this point, it’s important not to rush. It is necessary that the magnetic holders for the curtains are located evenly and wrinkles do not form on the canvas. It is important to ensure that the magnetic side of the strip is facing the inside of the room.
4. You can hang a magnetic grid on the doorway in several ways. In this case, you need to pay attention to the edges with magnetic elements located in the center of the frame.

If the doors are wooden, then the product is fixed in the upper part of the frame with the help of studs. If a plastic construction is installed, it is better to purchase special curtains. Such models are equipped with a special strap, which simply fits inside the frame and is fixed with special devices.

You can also fix the mesh using double-sided tape. In this case, the adhesive tape is carefully cleaned of dust and dirt. First, double-sided tape is attached, and the grid is already attached to it. For reliable fixation, you can pre-iron with the iron those places of the grid that will be applied to the adhesive tape.

In order for the mosquito net to work with magnets easily and conveniently, at the stage of its fastening, you need to monitor the preservation of a distance of 2-3 mm between the lower edge of the paintings and the floor. If there is no gap, this will degrade the performance properties - the grid will drag along the floor and slam shut badly.

If the kit has a decorative trim, then it is better to install it. This will give the design a finished and beautiful look.

Mosquito net curtain: rules for care

The material from which the canvases are sewn is not afraid of water, so the surface is easily wiped with a wet cloth. If severe dirt or stains appear on the surface, the product is simply washed. Before washing, magnetic strips must be removed. You can use any detergents. It is advisable to dry the sheets when unfolded or suspended so that wrinkles do not form.

The mosquito net curtain at the end of the season must be washed. It is better to clean the product in storage in its pure form.

Magnet curtains are seasonal decorative items, so all designs do not take up much space when assembled, they are easy to install and remove. All these qualities make magnetic curtains affordable and popular.
