Insect Window Screens That Let the Breeze In and Keep the Bugs Out
Enjoy natural ventilation year-round with custom-fitted insect window screens that keep insects, mosquitoes, and dust out of your home without blocking light or airflow.
The Right Insect Screen for Windows in Every Room
Insect window screens are one of the most practical and cost-effective upgrades you can make to your home. Designed to work with your existing windows, they allow fresh air to circulate freely whilst keeping insects, mosquitoes, bugs, and allergens outside. Each screen is custom-manufactured in an aluminium frame to suit your exact window size and type.
Our range includes four screen configurations to cover virtually every window in your home: sash (removable panel), sliding, spring-loaded cassette, and side or top hung screens. Frames come in a full range of powder-coated colours or natural anodised aluminium, and are compatible with aluminium, steel, and wooden window frames.

Where This Product Works Best
With four screen configurations available, our insect screens for windows cover every window type found in a typical South African home; from sash windows in older properties to modern sliding and top hung configurations. Below is a guide to which screen suits which window.
Side or Top Hung Window Screens
- Custom-fitted panel screens designed for casement-style side hung and top hung windows
- Allows you to leave these windows open on warm days without insects entering your space
- Compatible with aluminium, steel, and wooden side or top hung window frames
Sliding Window Screens
- Designed for horizontal sliding windows and larger openings where a robust mosquito screen solution is needed
- Manufactured with a sturdy aluminium profile to maintain shape and smooth operation over larger spans
- Available in both internal and external mounting configurations to suit your window layout
- An effective insect screen for windows in kitchens, living rooms, and any room with wide horizontal sliders
Cassette Window Screens (Retractable)
- Spring-loaded retractable insect screen (the mesh rolls up into a compact cassette head box when not in use)
- No central mullion means completely unobstructed views through the window when the screen is deployed
- Ideal for insect and mosquito prevention; not recommended where monkey-proofing is required
- A popular choice for bedrooms and living areas where a discreet, low-profile screen is preferred
Sash Window Screens
- Externally mounted removable panel screen – ideal for vertical sash windows and vent openings
- A sub-frame is fitted within the window reveal; the screen panel clips onto it with turn buttons
- Can be removed quickly when window cleaning is needed, then re-secured afterwards
- Mounted externally, so there is no internal obstruction. The window can be opened or closed without adjusting the screen
FAQs
What types of insect window screens do you offer?
We offer four configurations: sash (removable panel), sliding, spring-loaded cassette, and side or top hung window screens. Each is custom-manufactured in aluminium to fit your specific window type and opening.
What is a cassette window screen?
A cassette screen is a retractable insect screen where the mesh rolls up into a compact head box when not in use. Because the mesh runs in a side channel rather than a rigid frame, there is no central bar across the window – giving you full, unobstructed views. These screens are ideal for insects and mosquitoes, though they are not suited to applications where monkey-proofing is required.
Can the screens be mounted internally or externally?
It depends on the screen type. Sash screens are mounted externally to avoid any internal obstruction. Sliding window screens can be mounted either internally or externally. Your Sequ-Door sales representitive will recommend the best approach for your specific window during the measurement visit.
Are insect window screens compatible with my existing windows?
Yes. Our screens are compatible with aluminium, steel, and wooden window frames. Because everything is custom-manufactured to your window dimensions, the frame material is rarely an obstacle.
Can insect screens for windows help with dust and allergies?
Yes – as well as keeping insects out, screens reduce the amount of dust, pollen, and airborne particles entering through open windows. This can make a noticeable difference for households with allergy sufferers, particularly during spring.
Will screened windows save on electricity?
Screened windows allow you to ventilate your home naturally without the discomfort of insects entering. Many homeowners find they rely less on air-conditioning and fans when they can comfortably leave windows open during the day and overnight.
What colours are the frames available in?
Frames are available in a full range of powder-coated colours as well as natural anodised aluminium. A natural mill finish is also available and is commonly chosen for inland installations away from coastal environments.
What warranty do the insect window screens carry?
We offer a 12 months warranty on insect screens for latent product defects, 12 months on hardware, and 12 months on installation workmanship. Warranties do not cover misuse or neglect.
