ᐅ Insect screens: Which manufacturer do you recommend? What are your experiences?

So, I just got mesh without a frame and attached it to the window frame using double-sided tape. I'm not sure if it will hold.

Otherwise, I'm considering ordering hook-and-loop tape to try that instead.

Honestly, save your money and buy something with a frame. Anything else will sooner or later stop sticking.

So, a quick update from me.
Fly screens with frames, which you cut to size yourself. It took 90 minutes to assemble, including measuring and everything... The next ones will definitely only take about 30 minutes.
I’m going to get some more from them for the other windows now.

I would really like to see that from Wunderfitz, if you're willing.

From Wunderfitz?

Here is a photo from the outside. I’m too lazy at the moment to show the interior in its finished state.

I had that in three previous apartments. Never again. That stuff never stayed in place longer than a year—sometimes not even half a year. Then the mesh came off the tape, and every time I tried to fix it again. It holds for half a day and then everything is hanging loose again.

Here, I’m not sure if the frame might affect the window’s airtightness. (I don’t know – so no judgment)

There are also roller blinds, they look quite nice but are usually a bit more expensive.

Exactly – that’s what we have. We also installed a sliding insect screen door on the patio door. At the moment, I can’t even say which manufacturer it is. We told our general contractor and the supplier what we wanted during the selection process, and they took care of everything. It was included in the quoted price. I expect to find out the manufacturer soon because we want to add screens to two more windows that we unfortunately “overlooked” the first time. That way, we can cross-ventilate in the living room through the patio door and windows without annoying insects.
