Mosquito Screens with Security Bars for Israeli Homes

Why Combine Mosquito Screens with Security Bars?

Many households in Israel want fresh air through the window at night but do not want mosquitoes inside. At the same time, many want the reassurance of bars on ground floors, balconies and rooms facing the street. Installing both separately can mean two frames, two sets of fixings and a cluttered look.

A combined solution uses the bar structure as the frame for an insect screen. You keep the protection you need and the window stays usable every day, without closing it to keep insects out.

How the Combined System Works

The security bars are built first, with a frame sized to the opening. A fine insect mesh is then fitted inside or behind the bars, held in a removable frame. This means the screen can be lifted out for cleaning or replacement, while the bars stay fixed in the wall.

• Bars carry the security function.
• The mesh stops insects while letting air through.
• The removable frame makes cleaning simple.

Choosing Iron or Aluminum

Iron is the traditional choice for strong, classic-looking security bars, and it can be finished with hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating for long life. Aluminum is lighter, does not rust and suits modern windows and aluminum frames. Both can carry an insect screen in the same way.

The right material depends on your wall, your window style and how the balcony or opening is used. We will advise you during the site visit.

Measuring and Designing the Unit

Every opening is different, so we measure on site before drawing anything. We check the frame depth, the wall material and how the window opens. We then prepare a written specification and drawing so you can see exactly how the bars and screen will sit together.

Opening direction matters. A screen that blocks a casement window from opening fully is a common problem, and we plan the layout to avoid it.

Installation and Finishing

Once you approve the drawing, the unit is produced in our Tel Aviv factory at 37 Rival Street. The steel parts are finished for weather resistance, and the screen frame is prepared to fit cleanly. Installation is done on site, with fixings chosen for your wall type.

After installation we check that the screen can be removed and refitted and that the window still opens and closes as intended.

Who Benefits Most

This solution suits private homeowners on ground floors, building committees looking for a uniform look across apartments, contractors fitting new openings, and architects or interior designers who want security and comfort designed together. Families with children or pets often choose it so windows can stay open safely.

If you are unsure whether your opening suits this design, send photos and measurements and we will tell you what we recommend.

Frequently asked questions

Can a mosquito screen be added to existing security bars?

In many cases yes, if the bars are sound and the opening allows a screen frame to be fitted. A site visit is needed to confirm the depth and fixing points.

Does the insect screen reduce airflow?

A fine mesh allows good airflow while blocking mosquitoes. The effect on ventilation is small compared with keeping the window closed.

Can the screen be removed for cleaning?

Yes, the screen is built in a removable frame, so it can be lifted out for cleaning and refitted without touching the bars.

How do I start an order?

Send photos of the window or balcony and approximate sizes, then we arrange an on-site measurement and prepare a drawing and written specification for your approval.

Common mistakes to avoid

A common mistake is ordering bars without checking how the window opens, which can leave the screen blocking the handle or the sash. Always measure the opening direction and frame depth before deciding on the design.

Our recommendation

For ground-floor windows and balconies, choose a removable screen frame behind the bars so cleaning and replacement stay simple. Ask for a drawing that shows the opening direction before production starts.

Mosquito screen security bars give you insect protection and security in one measured, durable unit for windows and balconies.
