“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.”
Which mosquito screen mesh lasts in the Dubai climate
For most Dubai windows, standard fibreglass mesh from AED 400 per m² is the right choice: it does not rust in sea air, and rescreening a frame later costs AED 200. Pick another mesh only where a window has a special job: anti-dust facing the shamal, pet mesh where claws reach, reinforced mesh on a busy door.

What Dubai does to a mosquito screen
Four things wear a screen here: strong sun on the mesh, sand carried by the shamal, salty air near the sea, and hands or paws pushing on it.
Two windows of one flat can age at different speeds. The one that takes the afternoon sun and the wind has the hardest life, so it is the first to deserve a better mesh.
Mosquito screen mesh for each condition
| Condition | Mesh | Price per m² |
|---|---|---|
| Most windows and doors | Standard fibreglass | AED 400 |
| A door you walk through all day | Reinforced | AED 600 |
| Low sun on a TV or a desk | Anti-glare | AED 650 |
| The side that takes the shamal | Anti-dust | AED 800 |
| Cats or dogs at the window | Pet-proof | AED 800 |

Five taps to your quote
Does your window need special mesh?
Does the window face the wind that brings sand?
Anti-dust mesh holds back more of it. Plan to clean it more often.
Standard mesh is enough here.
Does a cat or dog reach the screen?
Pet-proof mesh has thicker threads that resist claws.
Stay with standard mesh and save the difference.
Do people walk through this screen many times a day?
Reinforced mesh copes better with knocks from bags and trolleys.
Standard mesh is fine.
Is the window close to the sea?
Stay with fibreglass: it does not corrode. Aluminium mesh needs more care in salty air.
Any mesh from the list works.

Mesh colour and frame colour
Standard mesh comes in grey or black. The measurer brings both, so hold them against your own window and look out before you choose.
The frame is aluminium, powder coated to match the RAL colour of your windows, so the screen reads as part of the frame. Repainting an old frame costs AED 250 per running metre.
When a special mesh is money wasted
Upgrades cost more per m², so put them where they work.
It lets less air through and clogs sooner. Use it on the windward side only.
Thicker threads darken the view a little. Without claws in the house, standard mesh is better value.
Pleated screens use their own folding mesh with a 0.8 × 0.8 mm cell, so the choice there is narrower than on frame screens.
What our clients say
“Added nets to all winds and doors throughout the houset was a big job, but they completed in one day. Team of workers, very effiant. Photos attached.”
“Quick installation of nets in the kids! room. They were careful not to wake the baby during nap time = very considerate. Small jeb but they treated it with the same care es a big project.”
What people ask
Which mesh lasts best near the sea?+
Fibreglass and polyester meshes do not rust, so they suit windows in Marina, JBR and on the Palm. Aluminium and metal meshes need more care in salty air.
Is anti-dust mesh worth it on every window?+
No. It holds back more sand but lets less air through, so keep it for the side that faces the wind.
Can I change the mesh later without a new frame?+
Yes. New standard mesh in your old frame is AED 200. Metal mesh is dearer at AED 300 per screen, aluminium at AED 350.
Can I see the meshes before choosing?+
Yes. The measurer brings samples of every mesh on the free survey, so you choose by sight and touch.
