Steps to install an insect screen on a casement window

Many people think that placing a mosquito net in this kind of windows is an odyssey, nothing could be further from the truth. It is a fairly simple process if the proper indications are followed.

See for yourself! Just read the following guide:

Take action 

You have to consider that you have to adjust the dimensions of your mosquito net to the place where you are going to install it.in this case, a casement window.

You probably already measured it before ordering the screen, but we recommend you do it again (just in case). Otherwise, you could end up making a mess.

Well, this is the first step. In order to estimate your window opening, you will have to take different measurements of its width and length.

Be sure to look at them correctly: from one end to the other and at various points.

What happens if, when measuring the window, we get different results?

There is no problem with this: in these situations, you should stay with the smallest distance.

Cutting profiles

Separate the pieces that come in the box and group them by categories, this way the installation process will be easier.

Cut the profiles that will form the perimeter structure. Attention! These should be slightly smaller than the casement window frame, as you have to take into account the extra centimeters that will be added by the accessories to be included later: connecting profiles, hinges, etc.

Cleaning and joining profiles

When you have cut the profiles, removes any excess they may have. After that, you can start joining them.

Fasten the anchor piece to the connector (square). Then attach this connector to the profile, fitting it in the correct position and tightening it with the Allen key.

Repeat this process until the frame is complete. Check that their corners are at 90 degrees.

Screw coinciding with the holes.

Fixing the mosquito net

It's time to mount the hinged mosquito net fabric, so you must turn the frame around and then extend the fabric.

Go rubber in the lane (you will be able to see it easily) and fit it to the base: either from the sides, from the bottom or from the top. The only important thing is that you must leave the centers for the end.

Clarification: the fabric should be taut, but not excessively so.

Tuck the rubber in both lanes and then, cut the fabric carefully. Once you have done this, you can place the lids.

Install hingesScrew them in without overtightening, as the thread could be stripped.

Put the trims in the holes.

Installing the insect screen on the casement window

With the window in place, we tighten the screws to the hinges and to the side of the window. Do not forget the overlap, if your product has it.

Finally, sets the "self-closing".Turn it to tighten it and carefully hold its cap.
