Renting your flat? Don't want to drill into brand-new window frames? A magnetic mosquito net is the least invasive way to insect-proof a window. A slim magnetic strip frames your window, and the mesh panel simply snaps on — you can pull it off in seconds for cleaning and snap it back just as fast.
Through TrueInstaller you can hire verified magnetic net installers who cut the mesh to your exact window size, align the magnet strips neatly and finish the edges so it looks tailored, not taped.
Why magnetic nets are so popular
- No drilling on most frames — high-grade adhesive magnetic strips bond to aluminium, uPVC and painted wood.
- Removable in seconds — take the panel down, rinse it, snap it back. Ideal for monsoon dust.
- Renter-friendly — leaves no permanent marks when removed carefully.
- Budget-friendly — among the most affordable professional net options.
- Nearly invisible — thin grey or black mesh disappears against the window grille.

Frequently asked questions
Will the magnets lose strength over time?
Quality magnetic tape keeps its pull for years. If a section weakens, that strip alone can be replaced inexpensively.
Does it work on sliding windows?
Yes — the net mounts on the inner face of the frame, so your sliding shutters keep working normally. For sliding doors, see sliding mosquito net doors.
Can I wash the mesh?
Absolutely. Snap the panel off, rinse with plain water, dry in shade and snap it back on.
