With the arrival of spring, nature awakens – and with it, the less welcome residents of our homes. Mosquitoes, flies, wasps, or horseflies – all become active just when we most feel like opening the windows and enjoying fresh air. But if you want to maintain peace, comfort, and most importantly, a bug-free zone at home, insect screens should be on your spring to-do list right next to window cleaning.

Why install screens in spring?

Spring is the ideal time to prepare for insect season. Most households start ventilating regularly, days get longer, temperatures rise – and insects begin to find their way inside. Mosquito season can start as early as April, and flies emerge from their winter hiding places as soon as it warms up. Let’s be honest – once a mosquito flies into your bedroom, it’s already too late.

Installing insect screens in spring will save you many sleepless nights and annoying visits to your kitchen.

What Types of Screens Are Available?

Modern window and door screens are far more than just classic mesh. Today’s market offers a wide range of solutions tailored to different needs and building types:

• Fixed screens – the simplest and also highly effective option. Perfect for standard windows, they’re easy to install and remove.
  
• Roll-up screens – ideal for areas where you occasionally need access outside (e.g., potted plants on the windowsill). The mesh rolls up into a box, similar to a blind.
  
• Plisse screens – a foldable version best suited for balcony doors or large patio windows. They’re discreet and stylish.
  
• Door screens – a quick and affordable solution with self-closing hinges for balconies, patios, or garden entries.
  

Choosing screens based on window or door type

Not all windows are the same, so it’s important to pick the right screen for your specific needs:

• Standard windows – fixed or roll-up screens usually suffice here.
  
• Balcony doors – plisse or door screens are best.
  
• Roof windows – require specially shaped roll-up screens that won’t interfere with the window’s operation or natural light.
  

Why choose custom-made Screens?

You may have considered buying universal screens from a DIY store. They’re cheap, quickly available, and seem practical at first glance. But in reality, they often don’t hold well, don’t fit precisely, and aren’t particularly attractive.

Custom-made screens, on the other hand, offer several advantages:=

How to take care of insect screens

To make your screens last as long as possible, some basic maintenance is required – but don’t worry, it’s simple:

• Regular cleaning – ideally once or twice a season using a soft brush or gentle shower.
• Check frame tension and seal regularly.
• Store properly in the off-season – if you remove the screen, keep it in a dry, clean place.

A high-quality screen, with the right care, can last many years without losing its shape or effectiveness.

Design and color: Screens can be stylish

Forget about ugly gray mesh! Today’s insect screens are available in a variety of frame colors (e.g., white, anthracite, brown, wood imitation), so you can easily match them to your windows or façade.

Thanks to thin and fine mesh fabric, they’re almost invisible – both from the inside and outside.

Summary: Spring peace starts with insect screens

• Choose the right type for your windows, doors, and lifestyle.
• Consider pollen screens if you suffer from allergies.
  Custom-made screens pay off in comfort and aesthetics.
