What Is a Door Mesh & Why Is It Necessary for Your Safety and Comfort?

A door mesh is a netting that is attached to a doorway to protect your home from insects, dust, and dirt.
It is used more and more often by our customers because it offers many advantages:

• A door net is the most effective way to protect your home from mosquitoes, flies, bees, and other insects.
• It allows fresh air to circulate freely in your home without letting insects in.
• Installing a door mesh allows you to create an additional barrier to criminals who may try to break into your home.
• Of course, protection from dust and dirt. Door mesh traps dust and dirt that could otherwise enter your home from the street. This is especially important during the warm season because we want to ventilate the house.
• A door screen can help you save on energy. That is, you can ventilate your home without having to turn on the air conditioner or fan. Of course, we rarely have power outages, but even if we do, you will have an additional advantage.

Materials for Doors Mesh
Different materials are used to make door meshes. But the most common are metal and plastic. Metal meshes are usually made of steel or aluminum. They are characterized by strength and durability. Aluminum door nets perfectly withstand external influences and reliably protect the door from unwanted guests. 
On the other hand, plastic nets are lightweight and inexpensive. However, they are less durable than metal ones. As a result, it is ideal for those looking for an economical option with insect protection. Your demands and the conditions in which you live should be taken into account when selecting the material for your replacement door mesh. And we’ll assist you in ensuring the highest durability and protection in return..

Signs of Need for Mesh Replacement
Over time, grids wear out and need to be replaced, just like any other part of a residential building. But how do you know when it’s time to replace it right now? To help you, we’ve compiled a list of the most common problems! Here are a few signs that indicate it’s time to upgrade your mesh:

1. Damage: If the mesh has holes, tears, or other damage, it will no longer perform its function effectively.
2. Discoloration: Over time, the mesh can become dull, yellow, or dirty. This may indicate that it is worn out and needs to be replaced.
3. Loss of elasticity: A mesh that has lost its elasticity will not fit snugly against the door. Thus, it loses its effectiveness. 
4. Difficult to clean: If the mesh is difficult to clean, it can accumulate dirt, dust, and other contaminants. In turn, this can lead to the growth of mold and mildew. So don’t neglect this point for the sake of your health.
5. Loss of aesthetic appearance: Old, dirty, or damaged mesh can negatively affect the appearance of your door.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to replace your door mesh. 

How Does the Door Mesh Replacement Process Work?
So you have decided to replace the door mesh. But how will it go? Let’s take a look at the algorithm of the replacement process from WRNYC specialists.

#1 Preparation for replacement:
The first step in replacing the door mesh is preparation. We remove the old mesh from the door and thoroughly clean the frame from residue. In fact, this is a very important step, because we are preparing the installation site and it must be absolutely clean.

#2 Measurement and cutting:
Then we measure the dimensions of the door frame. Our specialists check everything several times to make sure that the new mesh fits exactly. After that, we manufacture the new mesh according to the obtained dimensions. Or you can choose ready-made universal options from the WRNYC catalog.

#3 Installing the new mesh:
The next step is to install the new mesh in place. P.S. The most interesting and important stage! We stretch the mesh over the door frame and secure it with special fasteners. 

#4 Checking and adjusting:
After installation, we check the correct placement and tension of the mesh. If necessary, we adjust it to ensure a good look and secure fit.

#5 Final steps:
At the end of the replacement process, we check that the door closes properly with the new mesh and that it is securely fastened. After that, your door is ready for use! We hand it over to you for testing and give you further operating instructions.

How to Choose the Right Mesh for Your Door?
It’s time for a replacement door mesh, but how do you choose a new model? First, measure the dimensions of your door frame to find the right size mesh. Then choose the mesh material – metal meshes are stronger, while plastic meshes are lighter and more affordable. There is also a stainless steel option. Such meshes are the most expensive, but they are more durable, stronger, and more attractive.
In addition, door meshes are available in a variety of colors. Choose a color that will harmonize with the color of your door. The new mesh can be the same color as the door, or you can choose another accent color. It’s all up to you!
Finally, choose the type of door mesh to replace. Door grids can be transparent, translucent, and opaque. Choose the level of transparency that suits you best. Of course, if you want privacy, pay attention to opaque options.

Why is it Important to Entrust the Replacement of the Door Mesh to Professionals?
At first glance, replacing a door mesh may seem like a simple task. However, if you don’t have the experience and knowledge, it can turn out to be a failure and a waste of money. So, why should you contact a professional to repair, replace, or install a door mesh? First of all, reliable contractors have all the necessary equipment and knowledge. 
Moreover, you don’t have to spend time searching for the mesh, fitting it, and fixing it. Good contractors guarantee that the work will be done right. If something goes wrong, they will fix it for free. And finally, replacing the grid can be short-lived if you don’t know what you’re doing.
