Beneficios para la Salud y la Eficiencia Energética

  • Ventilación natural sin insectos: Mosquito nets allow you to keep the windows open at night, taking advantage of the sea breeze to cool the house without air conditioning. In the Marina Alta, this can save between 200 and 400 kWh of electricity per year.
  • Protección contra alergias: Las mallas antipolen (apertura <0.3 mm) filter up to 90% of pollen, relieving the symptoms of spring allergy.
  • Reducción de enfermedades: In areas where there are tiger mosquitoes (such as the Marina Alta), mosquito nets are the first barrier of protection against bites that can transmit diseases such as dengue or chikungunya.
  • Sin productos químicos: Mosquito nets eliminate the need for insecticides and electric repellents, reducing exposure to chemicals in the home.

Ecological Data

A family that uses mosquito nets instead of air conditioning during summer nights (May-September on the Costa Blanca) can save between 300-500 kWh de electricidad al año, equivalent to 100-170 kg of CO₂. Multiplied by the 20-year average lifespan of a quality mosquito net, the accumulated impact is significant.

    Pleated mosquito nets installed on all windows. In summer they are essential here on the coast. They are completely collected when not in use and are hardly seen. The fabric lets air through but not a single mosquito enters. They work smoothly and are very resistant.

    Glass railing for our terrace with sea views. It looks elegant and does not obstruct the view at all. The installation was quick, they finished everything in half a day.

  4. Isabel Torres says:

    Just what I needed to know. We have to put mosquito nets throughout the house and I didn't know which one to choose. The pleated ones seem to me the best option not to lose light when they are collected. Is the price very different compared to the fixed ones?

    We installed pleated mosquito nets on all the windows. Perfect! Almost invisible when collected. Essential in summer here on the coast. Good quality, they work smoothly.

  6. Pilar Álvarez says:

    We have sliding mosquito nets and they work great. The cats can't break them and they slide very well. We have been using them for 5 years without problems.
