To measure a window for an insect screen in Curaçao, take the clear opening, not the glass alone. Width and height, in centimetres, plus four photos, are enough to start. Spectra Solutions still measures on site in Willemstad and across the island before the screen is built. The photos tell us which system fits, so the visit is not a guessing trip.
There is no price in this guide. Installation is included in the quote.
Measure the opening, not the pane
Stand inside and look at the hole the air comes through. The width is the distance between the inside faces of the frame, left to right. The height is from the inside of the sill to the inside of the head, top to bottom. A ruler or a tape is enough. Round to the nearest centimetre. If the frame is out of square, send the smaller of the two widths and say so.
The glass size is smaller than that opening. A screen made to the pane will not cover the gaps around the sash and the louvers, which is where mosquitoes come in.
Four photos to send
Send these on WhatsApp, with the two numbers in the same message.
- The whole frame, so the opening and the wall around it are both in the picture.
- The hinge, if the window or the door swings. A fixed screen and a hinged screen are different jobs.
- The same opening from outside.
- The threshold, if it is a door. The floor and the track decide whether a window screen is even the right product.
Say what the frame is made of: plastic, wood, aluminum, or steel. A wooden frame and an aluminum shutter take the screen differently. Custom paint is possible. The mesh on the form is black.
Window or door
A fixed window screen runs from 20 to 200 cm wide and 20 to 220 cm high. Taller or wider than that, and it may be a door or a patio, not a window screen. Door width on the sliding and hinged doors runs from 40 to 190 cm, height up to 300 cm. If you are not sure which product it is, send the photo anyway. The choice is explained in which insect screen fits the opening.
