Customised insect screens for the perfect summer!
From virtually invisible to custom-printed
Summer is finally here! We've been waiting months for sunshine, warmth and lazy evenings on the patio. We appreciate the beauty of the flowers and the buzz of the bees, bumblebees and other insects – until they wander into our homes through an open balcony or patio door, that is. Not to mention when a mosquito keeps us awake at night. That's when our patience really starts to wear thin!
The solution? Customised insect screens. Let us show you how you can effectively protect your home from spiders, wasps and other bugs while enjoying summer to the full.

Insect screens for balcony and patio doors
The first step towards an insect-free home is installing bug screens on your windows, doors and balcony and patio doors. A made-to-measure insect screen will ensure there are no more holes for mosquitoes and flies to find their way inside. Depending on your preferences and living space, there are several options to choose from. We have listed the most popular ones here.
MHZ's side-hinged frame insect screens are incredibly versatile and can be used on any type of door. In addition to being extremely durable, their compact profile means they blend in with your home without taking up too much space. Open the insect screen door by gently pressing the frame profile and close it using the concealed magnetic strip. The screen's bottom edge features a technical groove for brush seals to keep out bugs, spiders and other creepy crawlies, including on uneven floors.
Choose a swing door for a practical, convenient and child-friendly customised insect screen. The bug screen opens smoothly and oh so quietly in both directions before swinging itself back into the closed position. An excellent choice for families, especially when both hands are full. The insect screen door is extremely sturdy and durable, thanks to its innovative swivel hinge hardware.
Need a space-saving insect screen for sliding doors? Sliding insect screen systems are ideal for large door openings such as lift-and-slide doors, French doors, conservatories or balcony and patio openings, especially if you want an uninterrupted view of the outside. Systems made up of between one and six panels can be created on a continuous fabric surface of up to 9 x 3 metres. Despite their elegant appearance, MHZ sliding systems are incredibly strong and durable. Castors with high-quality stainless steel ball bearings ensure quiet opening and closing.
Insect screens for windows and skylights
Many people like to sleep with their windows open during the warmer months. If only they didn't have to worry about annoying insects biting them at night. Even during the day, flying insects seem to be attracted to window openings as if by magic: actually they are usually tempted into our living spaces by the scent of food, such as fruit or cake. A professional, customised insect screen for your windows, whether in the form of a tensioning frame, side-hung or swing window, or an insect screen roller blind, will put an end to this problem for good.
The main advantage of the MHZ tensioning frame is that it is quick, easy and clean to install in the window frame. What's more, it is just as easy to remove when necessary, for example to clean the window. Our insect screens are available in approximately 150 different tensioning frame versions. Our tip: matching your insect screen to the style of your plastic, aluminium or wooden windows will make it look great and blend in seamlessly.
The side-hung or swing window is a good choice if you want an insect screen that you can open and close quickly. Both versions are simple and straightforward to use. Unlike traditional side-hinged frames, which can only be opened in one direction, swing windows allow you to open and close the window either inwards or outwards. This gives greater mobility and flexibility compared to a side-hung window.
MHZ insect screen roller blinds are ideal as insect screens for skylights, but can also be installed on standard windows. To water the plants or air the bed, simply slide it up like a standard roller blind. The guide rails have thick brushes to ensure nothing slips through from the side. In addition, the insect screen roller blind can be customised to fit any facade or skylight.
Topic of the month: Printed insect screens
Do you love something a little bit special and want to give your bug screen a distinctive look? Then you need to know about our innovative custom printing for insect screens! We use the latest digital printing technology to apply your chosen design to the tear-resistant fibreglass mesh in vibrant colours with crisp outlines. The best part? Even when printed, you can still enjoy a clear view out. Because the inks used are specially formulated for outdoor use, they are weather-resistant and retain their bright colours for a long time.
An interior design feature...
Printing is available on all MHZ tensioned insect screen systems, including tensioning frames, sliding doors, side-hinged doors and swing doors with fibreglass mesh in the basic colours of grey and anthracite. Whether it's your favourite holiday snap, an abstract piece of art or a monoprint: RAL-print your insect screen to create a design feature and add aesthetic appeal to windows and doors.
…or a way to promote your business
The printable insect screen offers additional advertising space for business owners and shopkeepers. Company logos and marketing messages can be prominently displayed on windows, doors, display windows or facades. Not only will your insect screen keep bugs out, it will also attract the attention of passers-by. This is a great way to increase your company's visibility and win new customers.
Did you know? In addition to insect screens, we can print your favourite motif on selected roller, panel and vertical blinds, and on the SQUID adhesive fabric. The designs on the pleated blind and DUETTE® honeycomb blind collections can also be customised using digital printing.
Conclusion
With a made-to-measure insect screen, you can leave doors and windows open without fear of unwanted visitors. You can go one step further with a custom-printed insect screen. This combines functionality with creative design, offering great design options for homes and other properties.
