Insect screens for windows and doors: types and price (2026)

Types of insect screens — fixed, roller and pleated — when to choose each, and what affects the price. Made to measure across North Macedonia.

Insect screens for windows and doors: types and price (2026)

Quick answer

Made-to-measure insect screens (komarnici) come in three types: fixed, roller and pleated. Fixed screens are the most affordable, while roller and pleated cost more because of the mechanism. The price already includes on-site measuring and installation. Which type to choose depends on the opening — window, balcony or terrace door — and how often you open it.

Types of insect screens

Fixed screens

A frame with mesh that attaches to the window — removed in autumn, refitted in spring. The cheapest and simplest solution for windows that are rarely opened, such as bedrooms.

Roller screens

The mesh is rolled into an aluminium cassette and pulled down only when needed. Ideal for balcony and kitchen doors and places with frequent coming and going.

Pleated screens

Accordion mesh for wide openings — terrace and French doors — where a roller isn't practical. The same pleated system as pleated blinds, but with mesh instead of fabric.

The price also depends on the dimensions, the frame colour (white, cream or anthracite) and the mesh type — standard or pet-resistant for households with pets.

What affects the price

  • System type — fixed, roller or pleated.
  • Dimensions — charged per m² of the opening.
  • Frame colour — standard or custom.
  • Mesh — standard, ultra-fine (better visibility) or pet-resistant.

When to choose which type

  • Bedroom and rarely opened windows → fixed.

Frequently asked questions

How much do insect screens cost?

The type matters most: fixed screens are the most affordable, while roller and pleated screens cost more because of the mechanism. Size, frame colour and mesh also count. The price includes on-site measuring and installation.

Which type is best for a balcony door?

For doors you go through often, roller screens are the most practical; for wide terrace and French doors, pleated (accordion) screens are recommended.

Do insect screens reduce visibility?

Only minimally. Standard mesh has extra density that isn't obvious from a distance, and there's also ultra-fine mesh that's almost invisible from 1–2 m.

Can a screen go on an old window?

Yes. Screens are made exactly to the size of each opening, and for old wooden frames we use special clips that don't damage them.

How long do insect screens last?

The aluminium frame doesn't rust and lasts decades. The mesh, with regular spring cleaning, lasts 8–10 years before replacement; pet-resistant mesh lasts even longer.
