“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.”
Mosquito net for the bed or for the windows?
A bed net guards one bed while you sleep under it. Mosquito nets on the windows and doors keep the whole home clear, day and night, with nothing hanging over the bed. For a Dubai home, screens on the openings are the lasting fix; a bed net suits a cot, a guest room or a trip.

Bed net vs mosquito screens
| Bed net | Window and door screens | |
|---|---|---|
| What it protects | One bed, only while you are inside | Every room behind the screened openings |
| In the daytime | Nothing, it is for sleeping | Windows and doors can stay open |
| Every night | Close it and tuck the edges in | Nothing to do, the screen is already shut |
| Air around you | Less air inside the canopy | Room air and breeze pass through the mesh |
| Look | Fabric canopy over the bed | Slim profile in the colour of your frames |
| Price | Shop item | From AED 400 per m², measured and fitted |
We make and fit screens for windows and doors. Bed nets are sold in home stores.
Where a bed net helps
A bed net is the quick answer where you cannot fit anything: a holiday rental, a desert camp, a guest room used a few nights a year.
It also works as a second layer over a baby's cot. Its weak point is the edge: one corner left untucked and the net is guarding nothing.
Five taps to your quote
Which one does your home need?
Do mosquitoes bother you in the evening, before bed?
A bed net will not help then. Screen the windows and doors.
Then the problem is only at night. Read on.
Do you sleep with a window or the balcony door open?
Screens let you keep them open without bites.
With windows shut and the air conditioning on, a net over the bed can handle the odd mosquito.
Are you staying in this home for years?
Fitted screens stay with the home and cover every room.
A bed net or a roll-up screen on the bedroom window is the lighter spend.

Mosquito screens for the bedroom window
A sliding window takes a pleated screen or a sliding panel. A casement or tilt and turn window takes a fixed frame, or a pleated Uno if you want it to fold away.
If you open the window every evening, choose one that moves easily in the dark: a roll-up at AED 1,000 per m², or a pleated screen priced after the free survey.
- Fixed frame from AED 400 per m², for windows you rarely open
- Roll-up at AED 1,000 per m², winds up out of sight
- Pleated mesh with a 0.8 × 0.8 mm cell, folds to the side
- Pet-proof mesh at AED 800 per m², if a cat sleeps on the sill
When a bed net wins
Fitted screens are not always the right spend.
In a holiday flat or a short let, fitting screens makes no sense. Take a bed net.
An archway with no door or a room open to the corridor lets mosquitoes in from elsewhere. A net over the bed covers that.
Screens are made to measure. Until the fitters come, a bed net covers the nights.

What people ask
Do you sell mosquito nets for beds?+
No. We make and fit mosquito screens for windows and doors. Bed nets are a shop item.
Is a bed net enough in Dubai?+
For sleeping, if you close it every night and leave no gaps. It does nothing for the evening on the sofa or the open balcony door.
Can I use both?+
Yes. A net over a cot adds a second layer in a nursery with screened windows.
Which window screen is best for a bedroom?+
One you can open and close in the dark without effort: roll-up or pleated. For a window you never open, a fixed frame from AED 400 per m² is enough.
