Made-to-measure or standard fly screens – which is really worth it?
Every spring, homeowners and tenants in Waltrop, Datteln and the entire Ruhr region face the same question: is a cheap fly screen from the DIY store enough, or should you invest in a made-to-measure solution?
The problem with standard fly screens
Fly screens from the DIY store are made in only a handful of standard sizes. But windows in German homes – whether period properties in Castrop-Rauxel or new builds in Lünen – rarely have exact standard dimensions. The result:
- check_circleGaps of 2–5 mm through which mosquitoes and flies get in
- check_circleWobbly frames that rattle in the wind
- check_circleMakeshift fixings that fail after a single season
- check_circleAn unattractive look due to poorly fitting profiles
Made-to-measure fly screens: millimetre work
At InsektoSchutz in Waltrop, every fixed frame is manufactured precisely to the dimensions of your window. That means:
- check_circleA perfect fit with no gaps – no insect gets through
- check_circleSturdy aluminium profiles instead of plastic
- check_circleClean integration into your window architecture
- check_circleDecades of durability rather than yearly replacement
Cost comparison: cheaper in the long run
A standard fly screen costs 15–30 euros and, with intensive use, often has to be replaced every one or two years. After several seasons the costs add up and the fit often remains unsatisfactory. A made-to-measure fixed frame from InsektoSchutz, made of aluminium and high-quality fibreglass mesh, is designed for a significantly longer service life.
