Advantages and disadvantages of the anti-polka mosquito net

Having installed plastic windows in an apartment or a country house, we often think about which mosquito nets are best to install. Some window manufacturing companies immediately propose the installation of conventional framework structures that will protect unpleasant insects from entering the house.

It is important that the anti-dust mesh is well protected not only from dust and unpleasant insects, but also from plant pollen.After all, it is no secret to anyone that many people suffer from allergies associated with the seasonal flowering of some trees, grasses and flowers. So, a strong allergic reaction can be caused by pollen of alder and birch, flowering of field grass, poplar pollen.

The “Antipyltsa” grid is produced by various companies, but the manufacturing technology is everywhere similar: The mesh material is a dense fabric of thin polyester yarns with very small cells — only 0.25x1 mm (cells of a conventional mesh, as a rule, have a standard size of 1x1 mm). Neither dust nor pollen can penetrate such small cells, not to mention annoying insects.

Dust construction recommended to install in homes where there are young children and people with allergies. They are perfect for those owners who are not worried about allergies, but they care about the comfort and hygiene at home. "Antipyltsa" perfectly keep any dirt trying to enter the house from the street, and if your house is located on a busy street where cars are constantly driving, these products are the best choice.

Grids "Antipyltsa" have undoubted advantages.

• Mesh made of polyester. It is a material safe for human health, which has undergone various tests not only in our country, but also abroad.
• Polyester canvas has electrostatic properties, which allows you to create a reliable barrier to the penetration of plant pollen into the room. This is due to the fact that the nylon synthetic fabric carries a partial positive charge, and organic dust particles and pollen carry a partially negative charge. So, thanks to electrostatics, all dust and pollen, trying to enter the room from the street, settles on the grid.
• Small cell size. Thanks to microscopic cells, the material copes with its duties perfectly, excluding the ingress of even the smallest pollen particles of various kinds into the room.

• Long service life. If you use the product carefully, avoiding contact of the grid with sharp objects, then it will serve you for at least five years.
• On the hot summer day of "Antipiltsa" will save from the scorching sun, because it slightly darkens the room.
• Possibility of airing, even if the house has allergies.Airing the room is very important, as a person inhales oxygen and exhales carbon dioxide. In about 12 hours, the lungs of an adult will let through about 70 thousand liters of air through themselves (as much air is contained in a room of 25-30 square meters). Only airing will reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide and replenish the amount of oxygen the person needs. In a ventilated room it works well and sleeps better.

• Mesh against pollen is an excellent alternative to chemical mosquito aerosols and fumigators. Do not forget that toxic fumes and gases contained in various insect repellents do not allow them to be used all the time, this can be harmful to health. In addition, an aerosol or cream will most often scare away the blood-sucking directly from the body parts treated with the agent, but the mosquitoes will curl around you anyway, making annoying sounds.
• The undoubted advantage is possibility of using a dust construction not only on windows. It can be installed in doorways, on balconies, terraces and even used to protect baby carriages.
• Easy to operate. "Anti-dust" is easy to clean with water and laundry soap. After washing the material retains all its unique properties.

• Easy installation. Most often, the construction of "Anti-dust" is offered by manufacturing companies already stretched on the frame, which is easily attached to plastic windows. However, the material can be purchased separately and installed by yourself - this option is suitable for those who live in a wooden house or in a house with wooden frames.
• Maintainability. If the net turned out to be accidentally torn or cut, then it is quite possible to cope with the repair at home, just by sewing the cut or gluing it. The performance characteristics of the material will remain after the repair.
• Polyester fiber, which is made of mesh, resistant to temperature changes, direct sunlight and other aggressive environmental influences.

Like any material, polyester, from which the mesh is made, has its drawbacks. All extraneous particles, soaring in the air, will be attracted by this material, dust and dirt will constantly accumulate on the grid.However, it is not difficult to take care of it, and even an elderly person will cope with its washing. On average, the net is washed once a week, but the frequency of hygienic procedures will depend on the place where the housing is located, and on the pollution of the atmosphere around it.

Depending on where the structure will be installed, the specifics of its installation will also depend. As already mentioned, most often the structure is installed on plastic windows and is a separate light frame, which is securely fastened and easily removed from the main frame.

If the frames in your house are made of wood and do not involve the installation of a mosquito structure, you can take advantage of the new offer of some companies,engaged in the installation of mosquito nets - installation of the grid by the "blinds". The grid "Anti-dust" can be installed in balconies and loggias, it is able to protect door openings from pollen and dust. For doors a special box is hinged, in which the mesh is fixed.

Most of the companies involved in the installation of plastic windows, offer their customers to immediately purchase and install the construction of "Antipyltsa." This option will significantly save compared to installing the grid over time.

If you still had to order the mosquito net separately from the windows, then we recommend that you contact specialized companies that offer a mandatory free exit for the measurer. This will eliminate errors during independent measurements and provide an opportunity to contact the company for warranty service if something does not suit you.

It is easy to care for the mesh, but because of its ability to attract dust particles and pollen, it must be periodically washed. How often you have to do this depends on many factors. Thus, structures installed in houses located close to busy roads or highways,you have to wash about once a week. This is done with the help of a soap solution (laundry soap is perfect). In environmentally comfortable areas, the net is washed no more than once a month.

Dust net produced by many companies.

• One of the most famous manufacturers of nets "Antipyl" - Canadian company Saint gobain. The company produces the highest quality mesh from Micro-Mesh nylon fabric. It is distinguished by especially small cells, which do not let in either pollen or dust, and at the same time it looks like a regular mesh, which passes light and fresh air well.
• Production of the company Poll-tex origin from Holland. Van Heek Textiles, which “invented” the grid, repeatedly tested products at medical clinics in Holland and Germany. Today, however, these technologies are already producing meshes all over the world. Poll-tex has earned numerous positive customer reviews, including those suffering from allergies. These are quality products that do not disturb the air exchange in the room and effectively protect the house not only from pollen, but also from the aggressive urban environment - dust and exhaust gases.Since many companies are already working with the technologies of the Dutch company, we recommend paying attention to the availability of product quality certificates when purchasing products.

• Own production of nets of excellent quality established by the company "Cozy House". It is one of the largest manufacturers of various protective mesh structures for windows and doors in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. The company offers a wide range of products and a variety of options for attaching the design to the window.
• Anti Dust products from the company Alliance Filter (RF) is inexpensive and has good performance. The company gives a guarantee on the grid to 15 years. It is well established in the market of filter materials and produces not only the mesh, but also filter components for air conditioners, electrical equipment, swimming pools.

The mesh with anti-dust effect generally has positive feedback. It is noted that the main plus of the grid is the effective delay of birch pollen, due to allergy to which many suffer. Thanks to the grid, you can ventilate the apartment even in the “peak” of flowering.Of course, the design also does not let in any mosquitoes or even the smallest midges.

Buyers of the Poll-tex grid say that they purchased it instead of the usual mosquito and felt the difference.

However, some users noticed that after installing the grid in the room there was a little less light. But compared with the solved problem of allergy, this small drawback is quite insignificant.
