Insect netting is an excellent way to protect yourself from insects, dust, and other contaminants.
Most metal-plastic windows come standard with mosquito nets, and many people wonder whether they should be removed during the winter.
Deformation of network frames
The material used to make the net frame deforms as a result of the negative effect of low temperature. The light construction was damaged, covered with microcracks, and rendered unusable as a result of the sudden drop in temperature. Irreparable distortions in the grid's corners are also possible.
Possible surface damage to the net
Insect nets are susceptible to frost and high atmospheric pressure. As a result, the network may become impassable due to snow or ice accumulation. It can also tear away from the frame and lose its integrity in high winds.
Snow and garbage accumulation between the screen and the window
The removal of the net will prevent snow and trash accumulation. Winter precipitation, on the other hand, can damage not only the net but also the window.
Light intensity
Another reason to remove mosquito netting is that it reduces natural light transmission. By removing the net, you will increase the amount of sunlight that enters your space.
How to maintain an insect net?
Before storing the net, it should be thoroughly washed and dried. For packing, it is preferable to use a suitable size bag or case. The grid should be stored horizontally (to maintain its shape) in a warm, heated room, but away from heating devices.
Which nets can be left in the winter?
Given the design features of the net, insect nets can be left on windows during the winter season if they are collected in a roller shutter. You also cannot remove the aluminum frame nets, which are able to withstand even the most adverse external factors due to their dependable and durable properties.
By removing the insect net during the winter season, you will not only extend its life but also provide more sunlight in your room.
