Having your windows and doors open is an appealing option to allow in fresh air, and encourage air flow during the hot Perth summer.
However, by leaving your windows and doors open, you are allowing a wide array of insects into your home, which can lead to discomfort and
annoyance. In this blog, we outline why you should install window and door screens on your home to keep insects out.
Other than the obvious annoyance of having insects in your home, some can also pose potential health problems, or damage your property. For instance, other than causing itchiness and discomfort from bites, mosquitoes in Western Australia can carry various diseases such as Dengue Fever. This is an infection that causes high fevers, nausea, and other health issues. Furthermore, insects such as carpenter ants and termites can cause structural damage to your home by feeding on and excavating wood.
If you decide that it’s time to install screens on your home, you must first determine what kind of screens will best suit your needs. When it comes to insect-proofing, there are a variety of different screens to choose from. Our Sliding Windows and doors come as standard with fibreglass mesh insect screens. If you’re after a robust solution, stainless steel mesh is an excellent choice. Furthermore, for large openings or bi fold doors, retractable screens may be the most convenient option. It’s best to consult with our screen installers to determine what style will best suit your home.
Besides keeping out potentially hazardous and annoying insects, window and door screens can provide some bonus benefits to your home. Screens, such as the ones installed by By GOBO, can provide an extra layer of security for your home. Screens can also offer your home better ventilation and air flow, as you will be able to keep your doors and windows open more often – leading to better air quality.
