Every year, many people look forward to summer, and perhaps you are one of them. Evenings with friends, sunbathing on the beach, swimming in the pool… So many opportunities to make happy memories.
Yet there are some who have decided not to let us enjoy these moments of happiness, choosing instead to spoil the mood – and even our sleep. We are talking, of course, about mosquitoes.
Fortunately, there is a tried-and-tested solution: the insect screen. It is the ideal, non-toxic choice to help you sleep soundly. Yes, but… which insect screen should you choose for a window? We help you make your choice!
Why choose a Neher insect screen for your windows?
Neher insect screens are renowned for their sturdiness, durability and effectiveness in keeping insects out.
Ideal for protecting your home, they feature a sturdy frame and fine-mesh fabrics that offer unrivalled protection against all kinds of unwanted visitors: mosquitoes, wasps, bees, moths, flies… And all without stopping air and light from circulating.
Unlike simple self-adhesive insect screens, our insect screens are designed with durable aluminium frames combined with functional fabrics.
Neher insect screens come in several types:
- made-to-measure insect screens, for a precise fit to the dimensions of your window;
- opening, roll-up or removable pest screens, depending on your needs.

What are the different types of insect protection for windows?
All models are installed by screwing the insect screens onto your doors, windows or facade. The obvious exception is removable frames, which are held in place by practical suspension hooks.
Removable-frame insect screen
Looking for simplicity and effectiveness, while still being able to remove your insect screen easily from its mounting? Then choose a model with a removable frame!
Whether your windows are made of wood, plastic or aluminium, tension-frame insect screens fit all models. They are mounted without drilling, using stainless steel brackets. This means you can remove and refit the insect screens whenever you like!
What’s more, the sleek design blends harmoniously into the window and provides effective protection against pests. The view remains unobstructed, even with large windows.
Finally, the perimeter brushes between the window and the insect screen ensure an excellent insect-proof seal.
More than 100 different installation variants.
No additional stiffener required up to 190 cm, or even more in some cases.
An undeniable advantage of this solution is its simplicity, since installation requires no drilling or screwing. Naturally, this is also reflected in the price.
Roll-up insect screen
Besides removable frames, you can also opt for a roll-up pest screen. This type of insect screen opens and closes as you wish: you can open it if you need to pass objects through, for example, and close it again as soon as you have finished.
These insect screens have a mesh that retracts very discreetly into its cassette.
To this end, and for greater ease of use, a one-handed operating handle and a brake are built in.
The insect screen also has a removable service panel, which can be used for minor installation adjustments, as well as brushed side guides to prevent the mesh from coming loose in windy weather.
Beware of very strong draughts: in extreme situations, the insect screen mesh can be pulled out of its guide rails.
Light well covers
Fed up with dirt and insects falling into your light wells? Opt for light well insect screens that keep insects and dirt away from your home.
These sturdy, elegant solutions are slip-resistant and made to measure with millimetre precision. As a result, they fit all types of light well.
The covers can be rectangular or slightly slanted.
They are suitable for light wells in cellars, terraces, house entrances, inspection hatches and much more.
Which insect screen should you choose for a roof window?
For roof windows, choosing the right insect screen is a little simpler. However, knowing the window’s reference is not enough. Because roof windows can open outwards, the insect screen may tilt along with…
The solution? Install the insect protection on the inside, either in the recess or in front of it. Roll-up insect screens are best suited to this kind of situation.
In particular, are you looking for a solution that offers effective protection from prying eyes and the sun, as well as a foolproof defence against mosquitoes and insects?
Choose “two-in-one” insect screens! These pest screens combine two cassette blinds using lateral guide rails. The upper cassette contains a blackout fabric, while the lower cassette is fitted with an insect mesh.
Both components have continuously adjustable finishing profiles. This allows the two fabrics to be positioned over the entire window surface, or in specific areas for each of them. The two profiles join together by means of integrated magnetic strips, and can be separated effortlessly when needed.
Take care on very sunny days. Raise or lower the blackout fabric fully to prevent uneven heating of the glass from causing stress cracks.
