Once you’ve decided you want mosquito nets, the next questions are always the same: how does it actually happen, how long does it take, and what will it cost? This guide walks through the whole process in Dubai — from the first call to the finished, insect-proof opening — and explains exactly what drives the price so there are no surprises.

The installation process, step by step

1. First contact and instant estimate

It starts with a quick enquiry. You can get a ballpark figure yourself in seconds using our price calculator — enter the width, height and quantity of your openings and it returns an estimate in AED. This is enough to plan a budget before anyone visits.

2. Free on-site measurement

An accurate measurement is the single most important step — a few millimetres off and insects find the gap, or the net doesn’t sit flush. A technician visits your home, measures each opening precisely, checks the frame type and track space, and recommends the right screen (fixed, roller, sliding or pleated) and mesh for each. There’s no obligation at this stage.

3. Manufacturing to your exact sizes

Each net is built to the measurements taken at your home, in the frame colour you chose. Because they’re made to order rather than cut from a standard size, they fit the opening cleanly with proper edge sealing.

4. Installation

Fitting a window net is quick — often just minutes per opening. Sliding and pleated systems for large doors take a little longer because the track has to be aligned so the screen runs smoothly. The team leaves the openings clean and the mechanisms tested.

How long does it take?

The measurement visit is short. After that, most jobs are completed within a few days — typically 1–3 days from measurement to installation, depending on the number of openings and the type of system. A single window can be same-week; a full villa with large pleated systems takes a little longer to manufacture. The actual fitting itself, once the nets are ready, is usually done in a single visit.

What does it cost — and what drives the price?

Pricing in the UAE is calculated per square metre of the opening, which is why a small window costs far less than a 6-metre glass wall. The main factors:

  • Size of the opening — the biggest single factor, since you pay by area.
  • Type of system — fixed nets are the most economical, then roller, then sliding, with pleated systems at the premium end. See the four types compared for the trade-offs.
  • Mesh — standard fibreglass is the baseline; finer “no-see-um” or pet-resistant meshes cost a little more.
  • Frame colour — standard colours are included; a custom RAL-matched shade may add to the price.
  • Access — high or hard-to-reach openings can affect fitting time.

The most reliable way to get your number is to use the calculator for an instant per-square-metre estimate, then confirm it with a free measurement — the visit catches anything an estimate can’t, so the final figure is firm.

Why professional installation is worth it

A net is only as good as its fit. In Dubai, openings are often large, high up, or non-standard, and the difference between a screen that seals completely and one that leaves a gap comes down to accurate measurement and correct edge sealing. A proper install also means the mechanism is set up to run smoothly in dusty conditions — which is what keeps a roller or slider working years later. If you’re still weighing up which system to order, start with how to choose the right mosquito net.
