helpInstallation & drilling
Can I have insect screens installed without drilling?expand_more
Yes! All our systems – fixed frames, hinged frames and roller screens – can be installed completely without drilling using our clip or adhesive system. Ideal for rented apartments.
Do drill-free insect screens hold up in strong winds?expand_more
Yes, absolutely. Our clip systems use stainless steel springs designed for wind speeds up to storm force. The fixed frame sits firmly in the window rebate.
Do removed screens leave any discolouration or residue?expand_more
No. Our contact materials are UV-stable and contain no plasticisers. After removal, a damp cloth is enough to clean. Your window frames remain in their original condition.
Am I allowed to have insect screens installed as a tenant?expand_more
With our drill-free systems: yes, without restriction! Since no holes are drilled, you don't need landlord permission. When you move out, you simply take the insect screens with you.
helpInsect screens for windows
Which insect screen is best for windows?expand_more
For most windows we recommend the fixed frame – it's affordable, sturdy and almost invisible. For windows with flower boxes a roller screen is more suitable, as it can be pushed upwards.
Are there insect screens for roof windows?expand_more
Yes, we offer special insect screen solutions for roof windows and tilt-and-turn windows. They seal perfectly even at an angle and can be combined with an optional heat-protection mesh.
How do I correctly measure my window for an insect screen?expand_more
Measure the clear width and height of the window rebate from the inside. We do recommend, however, taking advantage of our free consultation – we come to your home and take the measurements professionally.
Can insect screens stay installed during winter?expand_more
Yes, our fixed frames and roller screens made of fibreglass mesh and aluminium profiles are weather-resistant and can stay installed all year round without taking damage.
helpInsect screens for doors
Which system is best for balcony and terrace doors?expand_more
For balcony and terrace doors we offer hinged frames, swing doors and sliding screens with high-quality insect mesh. Hinged frames are the proven classic, swing doors are ideal for high-traffic passages and sliding screens are perfect for wide glass facades.
Are the door solutions barrier-free?expand_more
Our sliding screens are installed with a flat floor track only a few millimetres high. It can easily be crossed with wheelchairs, walking aids and prams.
Do you also offer door insect screens in Gelsenkirchen and Essen?expand_more

Can pets damage the insect screen mesh?expand_more
For households with dogs or cats we offer special pet-screen mesh. It is 7 times reinforced and reliably withstands even sharp claws.
helpQuality & material
What material are your insect screens made of?expand_more
Our frames are made of extruded aluminium – not plastic. The mesh is high-quality fibreglass that is tear-resistant, UV-resistant and weatherproof. We optionally offer particularly fine premium mesh and pollen-protection mesh.
What is the premium fine mesh?expand_more
Our premium fine mesh is made of particularly thin threads and offers excellent air permeability. Once installed it is barely noticeable – ideal for prestigious windows and terrace doors.
Are there pollen protection screens?expand_more
Yes! Our pollen mesh filters up to 90% of all pollen from the incoming air. Ideal for allergy sufferers in Gelsenkirchen, Essen, Waltrop and the Ruhr area. Available as fixed frame or roller screen.
Are special colours available for insect screen profiles?expand_more
Yes, our aluminium profiles are available in numerous RAL colours: white, anthracite, silver, brown and additional special colours on request. The frame fits perfectly with your window architecture.
