It is not worth talking about the purpose of the mosquito net once again, since everyone knows about it, but many begin to think about the feasibility of its installation only when they will hold a sleepless night in the neighborhood with bloodsowing insects or detects in their housing hordes of flies. At home owners with old wooden windows, as a rule, there are no problems with how to fix the grid on them - most often it is done very quickly with the help of the stationery buttons or nails that have a grid through the stroke. The situation is somewhat different if metal-plastic windows and doors are installed in the house. The material set forth in this article will help you figure out how to measure the mosquito net and how to install it.

Grid measurements for plastic window

In order to order a mosquito net on a plastic window, you need to measure the window opening. However, you need to think in advance about how it will be installed - inside or outside the frame. This affects not only the size of the grid manufactured, but also to which the mount will be installed. If there is still small deviations in size for the outer mounting of the mesh frame, each millimeter is important for the internal. The small frame will be loosely in the opening and will remain a slot for insects, then how much it will not be possible to install and you will have to redo it.

During the order of the grid, the manager can ask, from which profile your window is made. Many people put this question in a dead end. You can get this data by watching the product passport.

Also, the mesh for the window can be made with your own hands. It is clear that something similar to the factory design at home is unlikely to do, but, nevertheless, the product will be attractive, and most importantly - protects from insects. We are talking about mosquito net on velcro. For its manufacture, it will be necessary:

1. Mosquito net.
2. Self-adhesive velcro.
3. Threads under the color of the grid.
4. Sewing machine.

If you do not have a thread of the same color as the grid, you can choose the most suitable. Take small segments of your threads you have and put them on the grid - which will be least noticeable, that and use.

The grid should be a little more window enlightenment - 1 cm on each side should be left on the champ. If you have not sewed before the sewing machine, then it's better to sew the velcro to the grid, not forgetting about the progress - it should be under the velcro, and then push the typewriter. The grid is sewn part of the velcro without adhesive base.

You can sew a grid and manually, but then the aesthetic look will suffer, and it all will go much more time.

Now it is necessary that one person put a grid with a sticky velcro to the window, and the second pencil noted on the frame of its edge. Take the remaining part of the self-adhesive velcro. Now you can use, securing the grid on the place intended for it.

Mesh on swing doors

Insects fall into the house not only through windows, but also through the doors, be it entrance or leading to the balcony. How to measure the grid on the door? As well as with the window, the doorway is measured along the inside. The fact is that the mosquito net on the door is essentially another door on which the grid is stretched. It only opens in the opposite direction from the main door and is held with magnets. For convenience, a small plastic handle is attached to it.

More new developments also deserve attention. She is a rolled mosquito net.

This is one of the last inventions. The coaching mechanism is the same as the roller, therefore, in the raised state, the grid does not interfere with anyone and is practically not noticeable, since everything hides in the box located above the door.

Also deserves the option of the grid plize.

Such a grid moves horizontally, while gathering in the harmonica. Plissa can be a decoration if the drawing is applied to it.

Pleated and roll grid are not easy to install independently, so the performance of measurements and installation is better to charge a specialist.

The above grids are inconvenient to use with frequent passage through the door. In addition, if the hands are busy, they are not easy to close, so for some time insects have the opportunity to freely penetrate the room.

In this case, the most acceptable option will be a mosquito net on magnets. The principle of its work is based on the fact that the web is divided into two parts, and the magnets are sewn along the inner edge. Even if the mesh is unscrewed, it is revealed, but after passing a person, the edge is again closed under the action of the force of attraction of magnets. It is important to measure the length of such a mesh so that it is not only not short, but not too long, otherwise the edges will cling to the floor and the sash will not be able to completely conclude.

Mesh for sliding doors

Now you can even meet more often instead of ordinary sliding doors. It is quite clear that such a mechanism is not suitable for any entrance door, especially in the apartments, but it is necessary to put the sliding loggia to the sliding loggia. In the absence of skills to perform this kind of work, it is better to charge a specialist.

Usually the cost of the mosquito net is calculated by the number of m 2. If you know the sizes of the grid, you will be able to approximately find out its cost in advance.

If the work is performed by the master, then the final price can be 2 times higher.

Video

In this video, it is described how to measure the window correctly in order to order a mosquito net for these sizes:

In this video, it is shown how to measure and independently make a mosquito net for a metal-plastic window.

There are often cases when the mosquito net is ordered after a while after installing windows. In fact, if new double-glazed windows were delivered in the fall, it is quite possible to postpone the costs of mosquito. But when the owners still decide to order this necessary window accessory, they face a problem. Manufacturers do not make standard grids. Each of them is made to order, strictly in the size of the window.

In such a situation there are three options.

• Order mosquito in the same company that you did windows. Perhaps their archive remains your order with data on sizes.
• Call to the house of the measurer. This means spending time and expenses for posting the master.
• Measure the window for mosquito net yourself.

The most convenient seems the third option. But before performing measurements, you need to know several subtleties.

Grids are different

As a rule, frame mosquito nets are installed on plastic windows. They are sufficiently inexpensive and easy to manufacture. The design of them is simple - on the frame from aluminum by section 10 * 25mm mesh mesh from a fiberglass with a cell of 1 mm. But these accessories differ in the installation method. Depending on the manufacturer, you can offer various types of mosquitors:

• plunger;
• pocket;
• with Z-like fastening.

Before measuring the lighting opening, decide which type of mosquito you are going to order.

Types of mosquito nets

The most efficient and durable is the plunger fastening. The grid frame is attached to the window with nickel-plated spring pins. They provide tight fit of the design and aesthetics outside and indoors.

Z-like fastenings - the second one by frequency of use. Here, the mosquito design is attached to the windows frame using special metal brackets adjacent to the window seal. This fastening is firmly enough. But after a couple of years of use, the staples can be loosened between the grid frame and the window will appear.

The third type of fastener - "pockets" - is used quite rare, because it cannot provide sufficiently dense adjacent to mosquito protection. The grid for this method is made with a stock in width and height of the window opening. Here, for accurate measurements, it is better to turn to a specialist. In two other cases, you are fully able to calculate the size of this product yourself.

Measures of windows for mosquito net on Z-Rags

To determine the size of the future mosquito net, you will need a roulette. Open the window and measure the width and height of the light opening. Measures need to be produced along the edge of the sealing gum, which includes all plastic windows. Write down the results exactly, up to a millimeter.

Product dimensions are calculated as follows:

• height \u003d height of opening + 20 mm;
• width \u003d width of opening + 20 mm.

To understand whether the mosquito floor frame is enough around the frame for mounting the mosquito, it is also necessary to take into account the depth of the window box. If on the side of the sash, it is too hard for a quarter, when installing the grid may occur complexity. Installation will be difficult and if the plastic window slopes are made too close to the frame paradise. Consider these factors when making a decision on the type of grid. If the frame design does not allow you to install Z-root, you can order a grid on plungers.

Measurement windows for grid on plunger mounts

The installation of a mosquito net on the pins is possible if the softener of the external protrusion of your window frame does not have a rounded shape and too large angle of inclination. Since the spring pins are attached to the profile of the window frame itself, with a strong mud, they will not be able to provide sufficient density of the adjacent parts.

To calculate the size of the future grid, measure the height and width of the light opening, as in the previous case. Next, from the size of the sizes, take 6 mm. This is necessary to leave a place for the sealing brush, which is mounted around the perimeter of the grid frame during installation. You can report the data to the office where you are going to place an order for Mosquito.

What else should be considered when ordering

Ordering frame meshes on plastic windows only makes sense if the window sash opens the apartments. For windows of other designs, there are other types of insect protection products.

When performing measurements, take into account each millimeter division of the roulette. For accessories with Z-Removal, it is permissible to round the data, but only in the most side. If the mosquito structure after installation will give a small launch on the frame from the outside - nothing terrible. The main thing is that it completely blocked the lighting opening, preventing access to insect, petty garbage and poplar fluff.

As you can see, measure the plastic window to install a mosquito net can be independently. If, after reading the article, you remained incomprehensible any moments, you can refer to one of the video instructions for measuring.

systems "Providal"

Firstly this will allow you to save money. To pay for the measurer (even if they say in other firms, it is free, but nothing happens and it is clear that the work of the measurer must be paid and paid by your money included in the product price)

Secondly

Therefore, we welcome the independent measurement, and in order for you to measure correctly, we wrotefor you this page.

To begin with, we remind the fact that the sliding mosquito nets of the "Providal" system are installed on special guides, fastening to the glazing frame (from internal) the apartment side. Depending on their length, these polishes allow mosquito net to move along the length of your balcony.

Even if you do not need it, then in this case the guides must be 2 times more than the width of the mesh, because the grid should move to not close the tightness to the locking mechanism of the window sash. Otherwise, closing the window, the latch will be behind the mosquito net.

So, if you have a balcony ceiling, it will not be caught by siding, clapboard or similar materials, the mosquito net will be reduced to 2-operations.

1. Measurement of the light opening vertically.

This is the distance from the bottom to the upper rails of frame glazing. Since the frame has several polozov, so that you do not get confused which one you need to choose when measuring, close all the sash. Now measure the distance between the visible parts of the rail, as shown in the figure.

If the ceiling of your balcony is trimmed, and the upper rail is not completely visible, measure the distance from the bottom rails to the ceiling. When you inform us the results of the measurement (in case you decide that the installation will hold our masters) necessarily

Notify exactly what measurements were held.

2. Measurement of the overall size of the grid in width.

To do this, move the sash until it stops and measure the width of the formed opening together with the vertical parts adjacent to the shifts, as shown in the figure.

Now you can make an order for the manufacture of mosquito nets. If you want to install the grid yourself, then read the rules how to install sliding mosquito nets.

But, if it seems to you all tiring, call and we will measure your windows.

The most optimal option to install a mosquito net on a plastic window - order and install it in one set with plastic windows. If this was not done on time, and the mosquito has to be ordered separately, study the design of the window and swinging sash carefully. When the order time comes, you will be able to give an exhaustive response to the wizard of the device and the size of the grid for plastic windows and the fixture device, saving time and money.

How is a mosquito net

Before breaking your head, how to measure the mosquito net on a plastic window, it is necessary to find out what kind of anti-mosquito design you prefer:

• Rollent mesh in the form of a canvas, rolled into a roll on a stationary attachment at the top of the window frame;
• Door type mosquito net. The anti-mosquito canvas is stretched on a thin aluminum frame, fixed in the window opening using canopies;
• Frame or frame type of mosquito net, the cheapest and popular among plastic windows.

Roller systems today are still part of the fashion, most companies are reluctant to install mosquito nets of such a system. In contrast to the frame or door scheme, the rolling mechanism for feeding and folding the mesh is used by a web with a special finish along the edges that ensures the durability of the plastic anti-cycle.

If it is decided to use the rolling structure, when ordering, let us know the Master of the window sizes and the way the measurement was carried out. Most often, contractors require measuring the width and height of the window lumen, as well as the width of the horizontal top and bottom crossbar of the window frame.

The door type of mosquito net is used for plastic windows opened outside, this is a fairly rare scheme, and if there is a need to install this type of mosquito, it is better to use the services of a specialist. In this case, it is important not only to measure the size of the window opening correctly, but also correctly determine where and which canopies can be fixed on the frame.

The frame version of the mosquito net is the simplest, frame with a mesh blade can be installed almost on any window if the outer slope left the reserve of free space along the perimeter of the frame at least 30 mm.

How to measure a mosquito net

For a frame type of mosquito, all measurements and calculation of the canvas can be performed with your own hands, and in the presence of carpentry and understanding of the installation technology, you can make an independently frame for a mosquito net. But first you will need to accurately determine the basic parameters for the installation:

1. What type of mosquito net can be installed on a plastic window frame;
2. Find out what kind of fastening is suitable for installing a mosquito;
3. Measure the parameters and dimensions of the window frame according to the following scheme.

Important! It is necessary to measure the window, more precisely, the size of the gum to the rubber band is the frame, and not the swinging flap of the plastic window.

Select the size of the mosquito net and fastening

To better understand the technology of markup and setting the mosquito net, it is worth understanding the main thing - the inner size of the frame frame with a strained mosquito net must accurately match the lighting access to the window. That is, the aluminum frame of the mesh should not overlap the window light opening.

Therefore, when calculating the sizes, it is required to measure the dimension of the window opening. Next to the resulting height and width add the profile width to which the frame will be stretched. Thus, the sizes of the frame under the future mosquito net will be +22 mm, the width is +15 mm. The width of the transverse profile of the frame - 22 mm, the vertical profile -10 mm.

To make it easier to understand how exactly it looks like on a plastic window frame with a mosquito net, you can look at the window frames of the first floor of the building with the basement. The first floor especially suffers from the invasion of insects, so if you wish, you can see a wide variety of mosquito designs.

After you managed to measure and calculate the dimensions of the future mosquito frame, it is necessary to find out whether an aluminum frame fit with a mosquito from the outside of the window frame. To do this, simply measure the width of the vertical and horizontal planks from the outside of the window block.

If the slopes are made according to the "liberal" scheme, then the entire plastic of the outer cladding remained open, but if the window unit turned out to be slightly recessed into the plaster of the walls, the unlocked width of the plank could decrease by 10-15 mm. This means that the places for the installation of fasteners on the outside of the frame may simply not be enough.

Fastening mesh and frame

You can install the framework on the frame using two options for fastening - Z-like and pocket type. Installation scheme and plug-in sizes are shown in the photo. It remains to measure the width of the crossing and compare with the data in the diagram. To secure the mosquito net using Z-clips on the outer part of the frame, the width of the transverse profile must be at least 26-30 mm. For fastening a pocket type, the requirements are approximately the same.

Most Masters Question to check the capabilities of the fasteners are even easier, instead of measuring the width, they immediately check the distance with applying to the frame of one z-shaped or pocket clamp.

Most installers are confident that the Z- mount holds the grid better, but in practice, the strength of fixation depends on the quality of the profile from which the frame is made. Most often, after 3-5 installations, the central plastic handles are taken away, for which the frame is held at the time of fixation on the window. Together with handles, a mosquito net is striking.

The grid itself is attached to the frame using a rubber cord, which allows, if necessary it is easy to replace the damaged cloth.

In my repair I got hands to the windows. I have a building repair, and therefore plastic windows were! (which is already happy), but there were no finishes - neither slopes nor mosquito nets, and the windows themselves are not adjusted (poorly open - close). The slopes were made (not without help), I will try to write an article later, but the question of the installation of mosquito nets. But first you need to measure them ...

If you cause a measurer + installation of mosquito nets, it will cost two times more expensive than to measure and install the mosquito net. I will definitely write about the installation of grids, and now you need to measure the grid correctly so that it closes the entire window. The measurement should be accurate, otherwise redo the grid.

So, how the mosquito net is measured.

Everything is very simple, in order to make the grid, you need to remove the size of the inner sash, on which we will hang the grid on the outside. That is, the sash that opens, as a rule, is half the windows. I measure her width and height, so as in the photo.

Then these dimensions are transmitted to production, usually grids are made by manufacturers of plastic windows, are made in 15 minutes, can do with you. The average price in our city is about 600 rubles per square meter.

I have a 1,47 meter sash dimensions 0.6 meters \u003d 0.88 square meters. Then multiply by 600 rubles, it turns out 600 * 0.88 \u003d 528 rubles

We also need to buy fastenings for the mesh on the window, they cost a penny, about 10 rubles per mount. The window needs 4 mounts \u003d 40 rubles.

That's all, so easy and simply measure the mosquito net.
