“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 entrance doors
A pleated mosquito net for an entrance door lets the villa or townhouse door stand open to the yard while mosquitoes stay out, then folds into a cassette at the jamb. One door leaf takes Uno, from AED 670. A pair of entrance doors takes Double Centra, from AED 810, made to measure.


The busiest door of a Dubai villa
In a villa or townhouse the door that stands open most is the one to the yard. Children, the dog, shopping bags and the gardener pass through it many times a day.
Evenings after the lawn is watered bring mosquitoes straight to that door. A pleated net lets it stay open, then folds into its cassette when the door shuts for the night.
Five taps to your quote
Is your entrance door ready for a net?
Does the door open into the house?
The net goes on the outer face of the frame, clear of the swinging leaf.
The net goes indoors, and the door keeps swinging out as before.
Is there free frame beside the handle and the lock?
The cassette fits there and the door handle clears it.
Send a photo of the handle. A hinged screen door on its own frame may suit better.
Does the entrance have two door leaves?
Double Centra: two panels close towards the middle.
Uno: one panel from jamb to jamb.

How a pleated mosquito net door works
The mesh is folded into narrow pleats, and thin cords run through them to keep it straight. Pull the handle bar across and the pleats open evenly from the cassette to the far jamb.
A magnetic catch holds the bar shut. Push it back and the mesh folds into a narrow stack beside the frame, leaving the whole doorway clear for bags and bicycles.
- 0.8 × 0.8 mm openings in the pleated mesh
- Aluminium profile powder coated in your frame colour
- Italian components, low flat bottom track

What we check at a villa entrance
Inward or outward decides which face of the frame takes the net.
Front steps and stone sills are often not level. The low track needs a straight line, so the measurer checks it with a level.
The cassette has to clear the handle, the lock and any intercom panel on the frame.
When the entrance needs another screen
A front door works harder than any window.
The pleated net opens by its handle. If you often carry shopping or a baby, a hinged screen door shuts itself.
The net keeps insects out and has no lock of its own. Your main door still does the locking at night.

What people ask
How much is a pleated mosquito net for an entrance door?+
From AED 670 for a single entrance door with Uno and from AED 810 for a pair of doors with Double Centra. A sliding courtyard door is AED 1,550.
Can I still lock the front door with the net fitted?+
Yes. The net is a separate layer in the frame, so the door, its handle and its lock work as before.
Is a pleated mesh door the same as a screen door?+
Not quite. A screen door swings on hinges and shuts with a closer; a pleated mesh door folds sideways and needs no swing space.
Can children and older parents use it easily?+
Yes. The handle bar moves with little effort, and the low flat track is easy to step over with a pram or a walking stick.
Will sand from the yard block the track?+
Sandy shoes drop grit right onto it. Vacuum the track regularly, and always after a shamal, and the mesh keeps running freely.
Do you drill into the door itself?+
No. The net is fixed to the door frame with a few small screws, never to the door leaf. The measurer shows you where they go.
How soon is it fitted, and what is covered?+
The fitters come 3 to 5 days after the survey. Warranty: 5 years on the frame, 2 years on the mechanism, 2 years on fitting.
