Types of Mosquito Screens

A brief look at the main options and what each one is usually used for.

Magnetic Mesh Screens

Lightweight mesh that attaches with adhesive magnetic strips. Good for rentals and easy installation, especially on smooth frames.

Framed Window Screens

Rigid frames that hold the mesh under tension. Often custom-sized and suitable for long-term use on specific windows.

Magnetic Door Curtains

Mesh curtains designed for frequently used doors. They close automatically with magnets, allowing hands-free movement.

Bed Nets

Canopy-style nets that create a protected sleeping area when wall or frame-mounted screens are not practical.

Outdoor and Patio Screens

Mesh panels or enclosures that reduce insects in outdoor seating or dining areas without fully enclosing the space.
