Patio insect screen on a house in Curaçao

Blog Choosing a screen

Which insect screen fits your home in Curaçao

Which insect screen fits a house in Curaçao depends on the opening, not on a catalogue page. A shutter that stays put, a window that has to swing, and a wide glass door are three different jobs.

The first screen people order is usually the bedroom. After that, the same visit can cover the door to the terrace. Send a photo of the opening on WhatsApp and the team names the system before anyone talks about a quote.

A fixed insect screen for shutters

A fixed window screen is the usual choice when the shutter or the window stays in place. The mesh covers the gaps around the louvers and the breeze still comes through. The frame can be painted to sit next to wood or aluminum. On some openings the screen is fixed from the outside.

Shutter windows have their own guide: insect screens for shutter windows in Curaçao. Height for a fixed window screen runs from 20 to 220 cm, width from 20 to 200 cm.

When the window has to swing

If the sash has to open past the screen, a fixed panel is the wrong tool. A hinged window screen swings with its own frame. A roll-up window screen stays in a cassette and comes down when you want the mesh, so the view is clear for the rest of the day.

Both use the same window sizes as a fixed screen. The mesh on the quote form is black.

A wide opening: plissé or sliding

A glass door is wider than a window screen. A plissé insect screen door folds into a slim pack, so the opening is clear when the screen is open. A sliding screen door rides on rails and stays in view. Door width runs from 40 to 190 cm, height up to 300 cm. Two rails and two panels cover a wider leaf. A larger patio is a different product.

Patio, veranda, and a casebo

A patio, veranda, or casebo screen closes a whole outdoor room, not one door. The frame is aluminum and can be finished to the existing structure. Frames in wood, plastic, aluminum, and steel are all workable on the openings around it.

The price on the quote includes installation. Spectra Solutions measures on site in Willemstad and across the island.

Send a photo of the opening on WhatsApp, +5999 660 7193, or start from the product page that matches the leaf.
