Mosquito Nets in MBZ City
Mohammed Bin Zayed City is a large residential area of villas and townhouses inland from the coast. People live here as families, the houses are ordinary, the windows are casements, and what is needed above all is dependable and inexpensive.
01THE CLASSIC CASE FOR FRAMED SCREENS
Rows of villas and townhouses, standard windows, rectangular openings: fitted once and the question is closed for years.
02THERE ARE MORE DOORS THAN PANORAMIC OPENINGS
Into the house and out to the yard — those take a hinged screen with a closer. Panoramic glazing is rare here.
03MASS HOUSING GIVES MASS FAILURES
Worn rollers, loose handles, a stretched cord in a pleated screen. The mesh is washed more often: the dust is coarse and rinses off.
04ONE LOCAL STORY OF ITS OWN
- Yard doors without a closer are left open — and the screen loses its point
- Here the closer is taken straight away, not after the first season
- The district is open, no passes needed
- MBZ City is easy to combine with other addresses in the emirate
What is built here
The building is rows of villas and townhouses on a rectangular street grid. The houses are low, the windows standard, and there are more doors into the house and the yard than panoramic openings.
That is the typical case for framed screens: a rectangular opening, an ordinary sash, fitted once. Plus hinged screens on the doors people walk through.
Second: the district lies inland from the water, there is little humidity and fewer mosquitoes than on the coast. The main requests concern flies, dust and small insects around the greenery in the yards.
Third: there are many houses and they resemble each other, so people here often order screens for several properties at once, for relatives on neighbouring streets for instance. That is sensible: one visit closes several addresses and works out cheaper.
Fourth: dust off the open ground between quarters is constant, and the fabric needs regular washing.
What we have done here
For MBZ City we have no accumulated statistics by address, and we are not going to invent any. The survey is free.
On the substance: if screens are needed for several houses on neighbouring streets, say so. One visit to several addresses is cheaper than three separate ones.
Getting to you
The district is open, no passes are required and parking by the houses is free. Fitting without lifts or schedules.
A trip to Abu Dhabi is planned for a specific day; MBZ City is convenient to combine with other addresses in the emirate.
What breaks here most often
Mass housing produces mass failures: worn rollers, loose handles, a stretched cord in a pleated screen. Fabric needs washing more often than replacing, because the dust here is coarse and rinses out. Separately you meet yard doors without a closer: they get left open, and the screen takes a load it was never designed for.
Common questions
Which screen is the most practical?
Framed on the windows and hinged on the doors. For this building stock that is usually enough.
Can we order for several houses at once?
Yes, and it is cheaper: one visit closes several addresses.
Are mosquitoes a real nuisance?
Less than on the coast. The commoner complaints are flies and dust.
Is a pass needed?
No, the district is open.
How often should the fabric be washed?
There is plenty of dust off the open ground here, so regularly.
