With the arrival of spring, you really want to open the windows and let fresh air into your home, but you can forget about comfort if there are no protective barriers in the openings. Regardless of whether you live in a private cottage or in a city apartment, small debris, exhaust gases, sand fractions, smog and dust enter the room through an open window. And we are not even talking about annoying insects - mosquitoes, midges, ants. For allergy sufferers suffering from hay fever, ventilation becomes a real torture. The Anti-Dust mosquito net will help create a comfortable environment in the house and trap pollen in the air.
Anti-dust mosquito net: what is it - design and types
The Anti-Dust mosquito net is an innovative development for protection against allergens and insects. It is a protective structure made of aluminum profile and a special mesh with a minimum cell area. The product repeats the shape of the active leaf or door leaf. It is permanently fixed in the light opening from the street side. In addition, Anti-Dust nets can be sliding or hinged. Recently, canvases in the form of curtains with magnetic fasteners, which are designed for use in doorways, have become popular.

How to install a stationary mosquito net “Anti-dust”
The design of the Antipollen mesh consists of the following elements:
- profile frame;
- corner profile;
- cellular fabric;
- connecting corners;
- fastening cord;
- fastenings
To install it, prepare the following tools: drill (screwdriver), self-tapping screws, mounting bracket, pencil.
Installation can be performed using external and internal fasteners. Manufacturers recommend installing the Anti-Dust mosquito net using internal fasteners, since they provide a tighter fit to the structure and window profile. To do this, you will need metal z-shaped fasteners (hooks) and self-tapping screws with a drill. Next we proceed in the following order:
- Prepare a work surface for the mosquito net.
- On each side of the structure, at an equal distance from the edge of the frame, marks for drilling are made with a pencil. For reliable installation, it is recommended to install fasteners in 6 places: two fasteners along the width of the structure, one fastener along the length.
- Drill holes in the mosquito net frame.
- We attach fastenings to the structure. Using a screwdriver or screwdriver, screw the self-tapping screws into the frame, the size of which should not exceed 3.9 x 19 mm. We securely fix the fastenings on the frame of the mosquito net.
- We insert the mesh into the window frame.
Advantages and disadvantages of this type of installation:
- There is no need to drill the window frame;
- The fastening ensures reliable fixation of the structure;
- The sealing contour wears out quickly, which can tear or wear out in the places where the fasteners are installed.
There is another way to install a mosquito net - on the outside of the profile structure. You can read more about this type of structure installation in our article on OknaTrade.
FAQ
How much does Poll-Tex mesh (anti-dust, anti-pollen) cost?
From rubles per square meter. The exact cost depends on the selected type of mesh: frame, sliding, insert or wing.

How long will the mesh last?
Service life is from 5 to 10 years. Based on the experience of our customers, the service life is much longer.
Does the mesh darken the window too much?
The permeability of the mesh depends on the choice of fabric, usually the darkening ranges from 5 to 15%.
Can the mesh be blown away by the wind?
We have not encountered such cases in our practice, but this possibility is not denied. To prevent this from happening, you need to securely secure the canvas to a metal fastener.
Can an unextinguished cigarette butt set a mosquito net on fire?
This is impossible, because The mesh fabric consists of non-flammable material.
Disadvantages of Antipollen nets
Before you buy the Antipollen mesh, it is recommended to learn about the additional disadvantages of these designs.
The main disadvantage of nylon sheets with small cells is the reduction in light transmission of windows. Also, meshes can negatively affect the air exchange process. This problem usually occurs if you rarely wash them. Nylon fabric does not like sudden changes in temperature. In such cases, the threads become brittle over time, which leads to the destruction of the mesh. To extend the life of such nets, they need to be removed before the first frost from the windows and returned to their place only in the spring, when warm weather sets in.
Dismantling structures for the winter is necessary for one more reason - birds look for stuck insects in the canvases and can tear them.
When to use the Anti-Pollen canvas - features of these nets
Protection from insects and poplar fluff alone may not be enough if a person suffering from allergies lives in a house or constantly works in an office. For such cases, an Antipollen mosquito net is required. It is this that can provide effective protection against various microparticles that enter the interior from the street. This dust net for windows is also recommended in cases where children spend a lot of time in the premises. After all, the child’s body reacts more strongly to irritants, so contact with them must be minimized.
Before going on sale, the Antipollen canvas was tested, and the tests showed excellent results. Multifunctional dust collection mesh retains:
- 99.7% birch pollen;
- 100% products of flowering summer grasses;
- up to 93.1% pollen of ragweed and nettle;
- about 75-90% of smog and harmful emissions;
- up to 85% normal dust.
Thanks to this protection, from early spring to late, substances that cause allergic reactions remain on the outside of the windows. The canvas itself also does not pose a threat to health and perfectly allows fresh air to pass indoors.
What are the Antipollen mesh fabrics made of?
To produce this protective material, nylon threads are used, which become electrified during operation and attract microparticles. However, protection is provided not only by the material, but also by the size of the cells. If they are too large, organic matter and dust will overcome this barrier. The optimal cell size for Antipollen meshes is 0.25X1 mm, and the thickness of the nylon threads is 0.2 mm.
Caring for the Antipollen mesh
The anti-pollen net, reviews of which are both positive and negative, over time can itself become a source of allergens.
This happens in cases where you do not take care of it. That is, negative reviews are left by people who allow a critical accumulation of microparticles on the outside of the canvas. To ensure the stability of the protective properties of the mesh, the fabric must be cleaned of dirt every week. If you do this less often, the efficiency of the design will decrease. It is best to rinse the screens in the bathtub or shower. The inconvenience associated with the weekly removal of the structures of their openings is compensated by the most effective protection against pollen. When cleaning, only soap is allowed to be used as a detergent. It is prohibited to use washing and abrasive powders, as well as aggressive chemical compounds. Also, do not clean the canvas with hard brushes or sponges.
How is Antipollen different from other paintings?
The Antipollen mesh can create a serious obstacle to the path of small particles due to its design features. The thing is that the mesh is made of a special Poll-Tex ® fabric produced by Van Heek Textiles BV, which, as it were, attracts air pollution, preventing it from entering the house. This effect is achieved thanks to several distinctive features.
- The mesh is made from innovative nylon fabric in Holland, using German technologies, which gives it the same effect of “attracting” allergens.
- The cell size is also selected based on the average size of pollen particles, allowing it to be partially retained mechanically.
The cells have a non-standard size and shape - they are much smaller than those of the Standard canvas and have a rectangular shape. This thread frequency allows for reliable protection.
The canvas has been repeatedly tested by scientific institutes and clinics in Germany, Holland and other European countries, consistently showing high results, recommendations for installation in conditions of increased allergenic activity.
When installing a mosquito with Antipollen fabric, it is worth considering the fact that it has a high density, which means it will transmit light poorly. You can compensate for losses by choosing an unusual shade of the mesh - we offer you a choice from the RAL palette. Alexander, mosquito net specialist
Currently, nets against dust, insects and organic matter are represented on the Russian market by products of domestic, European, American and Chinese manufacturers.

Reviews of the Anti-Dust mosquito net
Feedback from housewife Anastasia Vasilyeva: “What I didn’t do to protect myself from dust getting into the apartment. Last year, a friend advised me to buy an Anti-Dust mosquito net. I thought: why not? I spent a long time looking for a cheaper price, and in the end one net cost me 1,500 rubles. The mesh stood from March to October and did an excellent job of its main function - protection from dust. There are no questions about the quality of the design. Pros: excellent protection from pollen and debris – the amount of dust on the windowsill has noticeably decreased.”
Feedback from pensioner Konstantin Vladimirovich:
“Good afternoon. I live on the first floor of a house in the very center of the city. Soot, smog and exhaust are not so bad. I'm allergic. I can’t stand the smell of weeds: wormwood, ragweed, quinoa. He always forced his wife to close the windows, even in the spring they sat in the stuffiness. It was only ventilated after a heavy downpour. Two weeks ago I decided to buy an Anti-Dust net. Reviews about it online have been positive. What can I say? I am absolutely satisfied with the purchase. My cough has stopped bothering me and I don’t smell any unpleasant odors. The amount of dirt on the windowsill has decreased. Another plus is that random garbage has stopped getting into the apartment. Among the disadvantages, I can highlight the high price compared to a regular mesh.”

Features of the canvas
The standard mosquito net has a mesh size of 1.2*1.2 mm. It is excellent for protecting against large insects, but such a mesh cannot trap dust and pollen.
According to statistics, about 15% of Russians suffer from pollen allergies. For a full and comfortable life, they need a Poll-Tex mosquito net (Anti-Dust or Anti-Pollen). It traps up to 95% of dust and pollen coming from the street, and makes you feel much better.
Anti-dust mesh is recommended for installation:
- for allergy sufferers;
- residents of apartments located near roads and highways;
- for families with small children - the air in the house will be clean and you can be calm about the health of your loved ones;
- on streets lined with poplars;
- if you are concerned about dust coming from the street;
- if midges flying in from the street interfere.
Despite the small size of the cells, the Poll-Tex fabric does not interfere with air circulation and does not reduce the quality of ventilation. Rather, on the contrary, more purified air enters the room, thereby improving the atmosphere in the room.
The Poll-Tex fabric protects against large and small insects, as well as dust and pollen (to protect against smog and the smallest particles, it is better to use a Nanofilter fabric).
