“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.”

Pleated mosquito net for balcony doors
A pleated mosquito net for a balcony door folds into a slim cassette at the side and draws across the doorway when you open the glass in the evening. In Dubai towers it usually goes on a sliding balcony door: AED 1,550 per door, made to measure. A single hinged balcony door starts from AED 670.


The balcony door in a Dubai tower
In Marina, JLT and Business Bay towers the balcony door is usually a glass slider. The air conditioning keeps it shut through summer, and it opens on cool evenings and in the winter months.
The pleated net goes on the door frame from the inside, held by a few small screws, so nothing changes on the facade. Folded, it waits in a slim cassette beside the glass.

Check your balcony door first
When you slide the glass open, does the gap start in the middle of the frame?
Centra: its cassette sits on the meeting post and the mesh follows the moving leaf.
The gap starts at the wall, so Uno goes on the jamb there.
Is the flat rented?
Ask the landlord first. The screen takes a few small screws in the door frame.
Check only the building rules, then book the survey.

A balcony door net in use
What we measure on a balcony door
The cassette must sit clear of the door handle and lock, so he measures how deep the frame is.
The low track needs a level line. Balcony tiles often fall towards a drain, so he checks the fall.
He matches the profile to your frame, shows mesh samples and writes down how the screen is fixed, for your NOC or your landlord.
What a balcony mosquito net will not do
Three honest limits before you book.
Mesh stops insects, not a child or a pet leaning on it. Keep the glass door locked when small children are about.
Sit outside and mosquitoes still find you. Screening the balcony itself is a separate job.
On a windy floor keep the mesh in its cassette while the door is shut. A closed panel in a strong gust takes the whole load.

What people ask
How much is a pleated mosquito net for a balcony door?+
AED 1,550 for a sliding balcony door, made to measure and fitted. A single hinged balcony door starts from AED 670, and the free survey confirms the price.
Is a retractable pleated fly screen something different?+
Many Dubai companies sell it as a retractable pleated fly screen or plisse. It is the same thing: mesh folded like an accordion that pulls out of a cassette and folds back.
Does the net survive the wind on a high floor?+
Closed, it is held by a magnetic catch at the jamb. On shamal days keep it folded in the cassette, and it lasts for years.
Will anyone trip on the bottom track?+
It is a low flat profile you step over without thinking. A pram, a laundry trolley or a robot vacuum rolls across it.
Does my tower need to approve the net?+
Some towers ask owners for one for anything fixed to the frame, and tenants need the landlord's consent. The screen sits indoors and changes nothing on the facade.
Will the screen keep a toddler or a pet off the balcony?+
No. Mesh is made for insects and gives way under weight. Lock the glass door when children are near it.
How quickly is it fitted, and how long is it covered?+
Fitting follows the survey within 3 to 5 days. The frame carries a 5 year warranty, the mechanism and the fitting 2 years each.
How do I keep the net running smoothly?+
Vacuum the low track when sand builds up and brush the pleats now and then. Worn cords and handles we replace on site; a new handle is AED 50.
