On a hot summer day, it becomes necessary to open the window and door wide to feel a light breeze. However, along with the street air, a flock of annoying insects tends to enter the house, whose presence noticeably worsens the comfortable atmosphere in the room. Reliable protection against uninvited guests is a mosquito net on the door. Characterized by its simple design and ease of use, the product is an indispensable attribute for any room.
The mosquito net on the door does not spoil the appearance and has a special weave that does not limit the view
Mosquito net on the door: characteristics and advantages of the product
The anti-mosquito product is a grayish mesh fabric with small cells, which is mounted on a metal profile with a cross-section of 53x18mm, which has high technical characteristics. This leads to increased product strength and high bending resistance. The design of the mosquito net is represented by elements: fastening cord, frame, impost and corner profiles, connecting components, plastic or metal holder. The traditional cell size is 1.1x1.1 mm.
The shape and dimensions of the mesh must fit exactly into the doorway so that the door closes without interference
The mosquito door to the balcony is a barrier not only for annoying insects, but also for poplar fluff, pollen and large debris. The product is characterized by a number of advantages:
- impervious to insects;
- fire resistance;
- resistance to fading;
- increased strength;
- compactness;
- versatility;
- ability to withstand loads without damaging the product;
- resistance to mechanical stress and precipitation;
- wear resistance;
- unremarkable, which does not affect the exterior and interior of the room;
- ease of installation, operation and maintenance.
Mesh door panels require periodic cleaning, which should be done with a soft sponge and detergent. It is unacceptable to use aggressive detergents and hard brushes, because they can damage the cell structure.
Mosquito nets on doors are used to protect residents of apartments and country houses from insects
Order
When purchasing or ordering, you must measure the glass opening, since there should be four centimeters left on each side for the latches and hinges. If the area planned for installation is large enough, the best choice would be a mesh on a metal profile. Before you begin installation, you need to take measurements; add four centimeters on all sides to the results obtained to obtain the required size for purchase.
Having received your personal dimensions, you purchase a fine-mesh mesh, four wooden slats with a section of ten by twenty, three meters long, “liquid nails” or universal glue, two sets of small spring-loaded hinges, decorative handles, self-tapping screws, eighteen paper clips, a plasterboard profile twenty in length four centimeters, which will subsequently be cut into three-centimeter pieces and self-adhesive magnetic plates.
What are door mosquito nets made of?
The mosquito net fabric is made of polyester, fiberglass, cotton, nylon coated with polyvinyl chloride. The first option is the most common for the manufacture of balcony door screens. It is represented by a synthetic material whose properties are similar to cotton. Such products are not afraid of moisture, dry quickly without changing their original appearance. They do not need special care. Polyester is a durable and lightweight material that does not fade under the influence of sunlight and is not afraid of insects.
Nylon door nets are characterized by strength, wear resistance, and elasticity, which prevents damage and tearing of the product. The material is lightweight and undemanding to care for. Such products have the lowest cost.
Most often you can find mesh fabrics made of fiberglass. This composite polymer material is characterized by lightness, high strength, wear resistance, resistance to abrasion and rotting, and durability.
The mosquito net fabric is made of fiberglass, which is then coated with a rubberized PVC-based compound.
The mosquito net for the door made of cotton is natural and environmentally friendly. The product allows air to pass through well, does not fade in the sun, does not wrinkle and does not require special care. However, such meshes are expensive compared to other options.
Hinged mosquito net for balcony door
In appearance, the product resembles a regular window frame mesh, which is distinguished by a more powerful aluminum profile. Such reinforcement is carried out in order to increase the strength of the structure, which has significant dimensions. The nets are attached using door hinges and fixing elements. Hinges are installed in the amount of two pieces on the outside of the doorway. The products are characterized by ease of installation and dismantling, ease of operation and maintenance. The swing mesh can be single, consisting of one leaf, or double, having two identical halves.
Helpful advice! A swing mosquito net is the most suitable option for residential premises where there are children, since opening and closing such a door will not cause difficulties for a child.
Hinged accessories can be installed not only on the balcony doorway, but also on the veranda, entrance doors of country houses
The mosquito net for the front door or balcony opening is made to order, which allows you to purchase a product of any shape and size. The design can be equipped with an additional element in the form of a closer, but this increases the cost of the product. In swing mosquito doors, vertical or horizontal lintels can be used to create rigidity and give stability to the product, allowing the door to be fixed in the open position. You can buy a mosquito net for the door from 1000 rubles.
Areas of application
When choosing lattice doors, you need to decide where exactly the model will be installed . The following indicators are important here:
- type of construction;
- product quality.
Tambour doors constitute a special category. They are installed in multi-storey residential buildings. In such buildings, a lack of natural light is common. That is why this type of door will come in handy here. This is a stylish and practical alternative to standard models.
At the same time, vestibule doors rarely lack sophisticated elements. Simple models without forged parts are mainly used here. The simpler the product, the less it costs. These doors open using a swing mechanism.
There is no proper ventilation in basements and warehouses. That is why doors with bars are used here. Ventilation is a necessity in warehouses where food products are stored. As in the previous case, beauty is not of significant importance for these models. The main thing is reliability and strength.
Lattice doors are also installed in residential premises. This is especially true for dachas. Not only reliability and durability are important here, but also aesthetic qualities.
Hinged and sliding doors are used for residential buildings. The dimensions of the doorway are selected individually. You can decorate such objects with forged parts and use large-volume decorative elements. It is worth paying attention to canvases whose surface is painted with paint. Doors with silver paint and a gilded effect look very sophisticated.
Sliding mosquito nets for the balcony
The product is suitable for terraces and balconies. The sliding door is controlled according to the principle of compartment doors. Plastic or aluminum can be used for the frame, which consists of guides and rollers. To ensure smooth movement of the doors, the design is equipped with sliders for easy operation. To increase the rigidity of the structure, imposts are used, which are horizontal or vertical jumpers.
The main advantages are the compactness of the product, due to which it does not require additional free space for opening, and the unlimited height of the structure, which can reach 2.5-3 m. However, such a mosquito door is not suitable for all openings. The product is not highly reliable and has a low level of protection against insects, since it does not fit tightly to the doorway. You can buy a mosquito net for a balcony door from 2,500 rubles.
The sliding design of mosquito nets is not only made on the principle of compartment doors, but also has all their properties
Terms of use
The mosquito door protects the balcony not only from mosquitoes and flies, but also from dust. It is for this reason that it is necessary to clean it.
There are several ways:
- Without removing, wipe the mesh with a slightly wrung-out sponge.
- If any dirt cannot be washed off, the mesh is removed and washed in the bathroom using a cleaning agent and a sponge.
When washing, you should not use detergents such as Pemolux and brushes with high rigidity. They can damage the cells.
Mosquito net in roll and pleated system for doors
A roller mosquito net is a fabric that is rolled into a roll, located in a special aluminum box. It can be mounted on the outside above the doorway (which will ensure vertical movement of the mesh) or on one of the sides. In this case, the false window sill will move horizontally.
The product moves along special guides fixed on the sides or at the top and bottom, and completely covers the doorway. In this state, it is fixed using an end device. Then, under the influence of spring inertia, the product easily twists back to its previous roll position.
To eliminate the possibility of dirt getting in and the formation of gaps between the doorway and the mosquito net, as well as to ensure silent sliding of the product, the structure is equipped with a sealing brush. It is installed in the groove of the final profile and box. The average cost of a product is 4,500 rubles. It is better to entrust the installation of a roller mosquito door to a professional.
The pleated mosquito net system is the simplest and most convenient to use.
Rolling mosquito doors are characterized by the following advantages:
- the net does not need a special place for storage, since it can not be removed all year;
- the roller system is unnoticeable both from the inside and outside, which does not spoil the appearance of the door;
- does not require additional space for opening.
The pleated system is fixed on a special frame. The product has the appearance of an accordion when folded, and in the open position it is represented by a rigid door. The canvas can be plain, colored or have a variety of patterns. Mosquito nets for pleated doors are most often used as a protective barrier against insects in large openings. You can buy the product from 6,000 rubles. Installing a pleated system on a door requires the use of special tools and special work skills. Therefore, to install the product, you should seek help from specialists.
Mosquito net on the door with magnets: design features
A door mosquito net with magnets is installed on the balcony door or veranda of a summer house, being a reliable and inexpensive solution that provides adequate protection of the room from insects. The product is presented in the form of curtains. They are attached around the perimeter of the opening using adhesive tape. The curtains are connected to each other by means of multi-polar magnetic inserts, which are sewn into the adjacent edges of each panel.
The mesh on the door with magnets looks like curtains, along the length of which magnets are placed
The magnetic mesh on the door is easy and quick to install and does not require special care. A vacuum cleaner can be used for periodic cleaning. Due to the fact that the mesh is impregnated with a special component, it is not afraid of moisture, does not fade or wrinkle, so it can be washed without fear. A person does not have to make any special effort to open: the product closes itself under the influence of magnetic attraction. For insects, such a net is an insurmountable obstacle.
Magnetic mosquito nets for doors are available in standard sizes for standard doorways, so a product of a non-standard shape and size cannot be selected. The canvas can have different colors, which makes it possible to choose an element to suit any interior style of the room.
There are also swing door screens with magnets, which are attached to hinges on one side of the product. A magnet is mounted on the other side of the canvas. It is recommended to additionally equip the doors with a closer. You can buy a mosquito net for a balcony door with magnets from 600 rubles.
The mesh flaps, made from lightweight fabric, close immediately after passing through the magnets using the force of attraction
Installing a mosquito net on a door with magnets
Installing a mosquito net with magnets is a simple and not labor-intensive process, which consists of the following steps:
- remove the product from the packaging;
- cut the connecting tape that holds the two halves of the mesh curtains together;
- lay the product on a flat, clean surface;
- stretch two magnetic strips into special holes on the sides of the curtains;
- clean and degrease the doorway slopes using special products;
- secure the top and side parts of the mosquito net to the doorway using Velcro strips or special buttons;
- check for tight fit of both halves of the curtains from the top to the bottom edge;
- adjust the mesh height so that the gap between the product and the floor does not exceed 2 mm.
Helpful advice ! In order for the mosquito net to ensure the free passage of air inside the room, it should be regularly removed and washed, first removing the magnets.
The top and side parts of the mosquito net must be tightly attached to the doorway using Velcro strips
A mosquito net with Velcro is attached to plastic windows, and for wooden windows you should use special buttons. If the opening of the balcony door turns out to be smaller than the standard dimensions of the mosquito net, its edges can be tucked in or trimmed with ordinary scissors.

Making a wooden frame
Taking into account the size of my door 70x190, 4 bars are needed. The same amount will be required for a maximum canvas size of 100x200 cm. The diagram is as follows.
Fig.1.
Wooden frame.
The first compartment in the photo is the future hole for the dog. Its height is about 40 cm (the dog is not big). The second crossbar is needed to install the handle. It is located at a distance of about 100 cm from the bottom bar.
Before describing the construction process, it should be said about the method of attaching the bars to each other. In my opinion, the most reliable is an adhesive connection with a groove. Those. A quarter is made on the pieces to be joined and glued together.
Fig.2.
Connecting frame parts.
You can also fasten the bars to each other using metal corners or self-tapping screws. However, as the practice of operating a similar structure previously shows, over time this type of connection becomes loose.
I have described the main fundamental points, now the process itself. First, we cut the bars to the required length and mark the locations of the grooves.
Fig.3.
Preparation for making grooves.
Next, we begin cutting out the quarters. In order for everything to turn out smoothly, without the use of industrial equipment, I cut out the grooves simultaneously on all identical parts, having previously tightened them using clamps.
Fig.4.
Marking of blanks.
You can cut out a quarter using a hacksaw and chisel. But because I have a router, I made them with it, it turns out smoother and more accurate.
Fig.5.
Preparation for milling grooves.
Fig.6.
Milled quarters.
After all the grooves have been cut, it is necessary to assemble the structure. To do this, lay out all the parts on a flat surface and glue them together. To do this, use moisture-resistant PVA glue. As practice has shown, joints of wooden parts using modern PVA glue survive the winter outdoors perfectly.
In order to obtain a high-quality adhesive joint, it must be loaded, for example, tightened with clamps.
Fig.7.
Gluing the frame.
During the assembly of the frame, it is necessary to monitor its geometry using a square. You should also promptly remove excess glue. After which we leave the assembled structure for a day.
Innovative models of mosquito nets on doors
In addition to the above designs, there are innovative models that have improved performance characteristics. For pet owners, the ideal solution is an anti-cat mosquito door. The canvas is made of polyester with a small cell, it is impregnated with a special composition, which creates a strong and reliable mosquito protection that cannot be damaged by beaks, claws and teeth. The color of the product is predominantly black. Animals react to such coloring as an obstacle, so they will not try to leave the room. The cost of a mosquito net for a balcony will be 2000 rubles.
Mosquito nets are varied in their characteristics and designs, and models are constantly being improved
For people suffering from allergies, as well as lovers of cleanliness, the “anti-dust” model is ideal. The fabric is made of the finest polyester threads, which form microscopic cells measuring 0.6-0.8 mm. They prevent dust, poplar fluff and pollen from entering the room. However, such products are characterized by reduced ventilation quality. The average price of a mosquito net for a door will be 2,500 rubles.
There are special models of anti-dust nets, which are additionally equipped with a self-cleaning function. It lies in the ability of the product to change the polarity of electrical charges. For example, a dust particle flying up to the mesh changes its charge to the opposite one, due to which it is repelled from the product. In this case, 100% blocking of dust and pollen occurs.
Important! A product with a self-cleaning function is much simpler and easier to clean. Just wipe it with a damp sponge and it will regain its original appearance.
The anti-dust mesh is made of very thin polyester threads that create microscopic cells, which protect against street dust, dirt and pollen.

All about installation
The canvas is mounted on an aluminum profile. It has grooves that are on one side of the door. The seaming cord is placed in it, onto which the mesh fabric is subsequently installed.
It is necessary to take into account some operational aspects when installing a protective structure, namely:
- temperature changes;
- gusts of wind;
- high humidity.
That is why the mount must be installed conscientiously.
To assemble the frame, it is necessary to use a transverse profile. It is made of the same material as the door to the balcony. It will give additional rigidity and reliability to the entire product.
The profile is attached to the central part of the door. If the mesh is large, several cross-sectional profiles can be used.
To combine the balcony door and profile, corners are used that are fixed at the corners of the protective system. With their help, the structure can be protected from gusts of wind and added additional reliability.
In order to secure a swing-type system, it is necessary to use hinges that function automatically. The minimum number should be two.
Additionally, handles are used, and fasteners and screws are used to strengthen the frame.
