Fresh air is the ordinary way to live in a house in Curaçao. The trade wind is why the window stays open in the evening. An insect screen is how that window stays open without inviting mosquitoes in with the breeze.
A house with every sash shut heats up and feels shut in. That happens often when a guest from abroad closes each leaf. The screen is the piece that lets the wind through and leaves the insects on the mesh.
The trade wind still comes through the mesh
The mesh is not an air filter and it does not replace air conditioning. Coarser sand, dry leaves, and petals catch on it, instead of landing on the sill. Fine dust, including dust from over the Sahara, and salt in the air pass through with the wind. Anyone who expects a sealed, dust-free room will notice that on the first windy day.
A short shower can come in through an open window. After the rain, insects move. The screen is already there.
Which screen keeps the window open
A fixed window screen suits a shutter that stays in place. The louvers keep working and the gaps stay covered. A roll-up window screen stays in the cassette by day, when the view should be clear, and comes down in the evening. On a wide glass door, a plissé screen packs into a slim stack so the leaf can stay open.
The choice between those, and a sliding door or a patio, is in which insect screen fits the opening.
The bedroom is usually the first window, because that is the one left open overnight. After that, the door to the terrace. Width and height of the opening, plus a photo, start the quote. How to measure the window lists the four photos to send.
