How to choose Antikoshka mesh for windows

The Antikoshka nets have 2 tasks: to resist the pressure of the cat’s claws and prevent it from falling out of the window inadvertently, chasing a dove or a fly. Therefore, the main thing to pay attention to is the strength of the mesh. It is very good if it is made of metal (in this case, you will also receive protection from thieves, because it is not so easy to cut it), as for plastic, then make sure that it is durable before buying. First you need to ask in detail the specialists who will install your profile, or the seller. Also pay attention to the availability of a guarantee, so that if the cat still manages to make holes in the mesh, the company will replace it with a more durable one.

The advantage is the sun protection property of the nets, this is especially true for the southern regions of the country with hot summers and a large number of sunny days.

And, of course, make sure that the mesh is securely fastened so that your fluffy pet does not squeeze it out with the weight of its own body and does not fall out of the window.

Popular questions and answers

We talked about Antikoshka nets with General Director of Moscow Window Service LLC Gennady Ponomarev.

What is the difference between Antikoshka and mosquito nets?

In fact, the Antikoshka net is the same mosquito net, only it is made of triple-weave polyester covered with a vinyl sheath. Its main feature, in addition to protection against flies, mosquitoes, dust and other unpleasant living creatures, is that it can withstand annoying and curious attention from even the most well-fed fluffy pet weighing up to 15 kg. Plus, metal fasteners give stability to the structure.

Is it possible to install Antikoshka mesh on windows by myself?

Of course, you can install such a structure yourself; special skills and abilities are not required here. The main thing is to cut the grid correctly and get into the size of the window opening. But the most important thing is, of course, the materials from which the structure is made. Here it is advisable to contact specialized companies that have all the necessary and certified materials for the manufacture of such a grid.

How long can the Antikoshka mesh last in an apartment?

Such a mesh can last a very long time if properly cared for. It is advisable to remove it 2 times a season and rinse the cells under the shower. The procedure is simple and stress-free. You should not be afraid that your fluffy pet will set as its goal to use your net as a scratching post – after several unsuccessful attempts to walk to low tide (outer window sill), the fluffy loses all interest in this, which prolongs the life of both himself and the net for an even longer period.
