Screen those pesky little intruders

Nowadays, a good house with luxurious interiors does not make for a happy living. With garbage piling up in the neighbourhoods, insects often find their way to our homes threatening our well-being.

It takes quite an effort to keep them at bay while at the same time ensuring that ‘the look’ is not compromised.

Aluminium framed screening systems offer some relief from flies and mosquitoes buzzing in, crawling cockroaches and lizards, spiders weaving their webs besides other insects that have the habit of invading homely spaces.

Aluminium does not rust, is light-weight and is cheaper than other metals.

Powder coated frame screening systems are sleek, sturdy and long lasting, says a manufacturer of aluminium screening systems.

Given these advantages, this screening promises to last longer than other options available in market and are considered seven times stronger than the ordinary insect screens.

Most countries around the globe have adopted aluminium screening systems for they are considered safe, do not warp or shrink as plastic meshes stuck to windows do. Moreover, they add to the elegance of the interiors given their classy finishing. In case of aluminium door frames they not just preserve the exterior view but at the same time keep households secure.

The screens are offered in different models like open-able mesh shutter system, fly mesh door, roller screening system (space saving) and sliding mesh system (for French windows).

It is virtually maintenance-free as most of these models available in the market are vacuum-cleanable. Durability factor adds to the flexibility and they can be fitted to existing stainless steel and fibreglass netting as well as on all frames.

Aluminium coated nettings cost around Rs.125 to Rs.325 per square feet which going by market trends is cheaper than wood.

Aluminium tears easily when stretched during moulding of certain complex shapes.

Experts caution against buying pure aluminium models as they are lightweight and can are prone to wear and tear.
