We determine the type of fastening and depending on this measure the window opening to install the mosquito net.
Previously, to protect your house from insects, it accounted for one of the flaps to close gauze. She could be enclosed in homemade baguette from thin wooden plates. To secure it, miniature nails were used. Often it was simply pulled in the opening without any framing, trying not to leave the gaps around the edges. With the advent of PVC profiles, the situation is radically changed. Homemade adaptations went to the past, and their place was taken by ready, collected in the factory conditions. Only one unresolved problem remained - how to measure the mosquito net on the plastic window.

Step-by-step instructions for measuring mosquito net
So how to measure the window for mosquito net? To begin with, we define with what fasteners you have a design.
1. Determine the fastening type
The design consists of a frame and canvas. Polymer materials and aluminum are used as material for the framing. In the first case, the product is not long and after a few years it will usually break. In the second service life is not limited. With a gentle handling, baguette will simply have a whole eternity. However, whatever the framing and canvas seemed strongly, they cannot withstand the loads over the permissible. When using the most reliable methods of fixing, the design will not stand more than 15 kg. This must be taken into account, leaving children alone in a ventilated room. Repeat on the stretched canvas is very dangerous.
Fixation methods
- Z-segments - holders in the form of the letter "z". Their lower part is mounted on the self-tapping screws on the outside of the profile. The top presses the frame to it. Her weight takes over the crossbar between the sides of the letter "Z". The set of holders includes two types - the upper length of 3.5 cm and the lower 2,5 cm long. This is one of the most common methods. It is easy to use and provides reliable clutch.
- Plastic or metal corners are a simplified analogue of the first option.
- Flags are plastic hooks. Such a system cannot provide reliable fixation. The only advantage is low price.
- Pins are small metal pins installed in the baguette. For them, holes are drilled in the inner side of the glass. The compound is reliable and hermetic. Each rod has a handle, with which it can be pulled out if necessary.
- Plungers are pins, the length of which is regulated by the inner spring. When pressed, they are compressed.
For corners, hooks and z-segments
As an example, consider the first option. First, remove the sizes or opening dimensions depending on which space you want to close. It is necessary to take into account all deviations and skews if they are. Then you need to know how deep the window box went to a quarter. It is more convenient to use the ruler. Roulette will have to stretch the second hand or hold. At high altitude, make it harder than under normal conditions.For Z-segments, you will need to specify the space that occupies their body. From above it is 3.5 cm, the bottom is 2.5 cm. If there is no place from above, the holders are located on the sides. If necessary, this magnitude can be reduced.
The calculation is quite simple. The size of the frame is added to the dimensions of the frame or opening. We will take it equal to 2 cm. To consider it from above, below, on the right and left, it should be multiplied by two. For example, for an area of 150, 50 cm will need a frame of 154 by 54 cm. It can be done under the order or purchase it in the store.
For pins and plungers
When using them, the installation is made directly in the opening. From the dimensions of the light opening, it will be necessary to take 1 cm above and below. Half centimeter on each side takes a gap between the glass and a baguette. It is necessary for a seal that provides complete insulation of the joints. As a rule, a sealing brush or other soft material is used. To get into the apartment insect, even a small gap. The appearance of such loops is inevitable when tightly fastened. Even with complete tightness, emptiness may appear over time. This is due to the deformations of the material during operation and also as a result of a change in temperature.
2. Calculate the lighting
To test the window for mosquito net, it will be necessary to simply calculate the lighting light. At the area of 150, 50 cm will need a frame 149 by 49 cm.
Most often, the grid in its dimensions coincides with light opening. It is necessary to add a frame thickness and a place that occupy fasteners. Depending on their device, it is necessary to calculate different values. Standard profile width is 18 mm.
What is non-standard mosquito nets
- Sliding canvases are used mainly on glazed balconies and loggias, where there is a place for moving flaps.
- Rolled - their dignity is that, if necessary, they are easily removed into the box, located at the top of the opening.
- Magnetic - these devices are used for doors. They are closed and opened with magnets, while not leaving the slots.
Measure windows for such mosquito nets are also needed, as in the previous cases.
When needed to order a service from professionals
Sometimes it is more convenient to order this service by a specialist from the company engaged in production and installation, but you can also cope with your own. With a high height, it is necessary to exercise caution. Roulette will have to apply from the outside. In order to reach the top edge, you may need to get up on the windowsill. In order to avoid an accident, it is better to bother with a rope, attaching it to a reliable basis. You can ask to inshance yourself someone from the apartment tenants.
With a strong fear of height, it is desirable to charge the work of professionals. It is better than to dug away from horror, clutching into the wall and risking to fall down.
