“The roller mechanism on our existing net broke. They replaced it with a new upgraded system that rolls smoother and locks in place better. Much better than the original.”
Barrier-free mosquito screens: no threshold underfoot
A barrier-free mosquito screen leaves nothing to trip on at the door. Our pleated screens run on a low flat bottom track that you step over, and a hinged screen door has no floor track at all. For a sliding patio or balcony door, a pleated screen costs AED 1,550 per door.

What barrier-free means for a mosquito screen
A door screen needs something to run in. On a pleated screen that is a bottom track, and the lower and flatter it is, the less you notice it.
Ours is a low flat profile. You step over it barefoot or with a trolley, and the pleated mesh folds away to the side.
A hinged screen door works differently. It hangs on hinges like a normal door, so the floor stays completely clear.
What each mosquito screen puts underfoot
| Screen | On the floor | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Pleated screen | Low flat track | Folds to the side, no swing space needed |
| Hinged screen door | Nothing | Needs room to swing open |
| Sliding screen door | Runs in a track | Its own rail or a spare channel of the door track |
A pleated screen is AED 1,550 per patio or balcony door. Other door screens are priced after the free survey.
Five taps to your quote
Check your threshold first
Is the floor level across the whole doorway?
A low flat track sits evenly and the screen runs straight.
Tell the measurer. A low track needs a level floor, so a hinged screen door may suit better.
Does anyone at home use a wheelchair or a walker?
Say so when you book. The measurer will weigh the low track against a hinged door for your doorway.
Stepping over a low flat track takes no effort.
Is there room for a door to swing open?
A hinged screen door leaves the floor completely clear.
Choose a pleated screen: it folds sideways into its cassette.
How the measurer checks a doorway
Checks that it is level from jamb to jamb, where the track will lie.
Finds a firm place for the cassette and the magnetic catch on your door frame.
Low flat track or a hinged door, side by side for your doorway and the way you use it.
Mesh samples and frame colours, so you decide on the spot.
Where barrier-free has limits
A few honest points before you book.
Low and flat still means something on the floor. If the doorway must stay bare, choose a hinged screen door.
The door swings open, so furniture and plant pots have to stay out of its way.
A terrace that falls away from the house can stop a low track running straight. The measurer tells you on site.
