Why choose a made-to-measure insect screen in Cagnes-sur-Mer?
In Cagnes-sur-Mer, the mild climate attracts residents just as much as invasive insects once dusk falls.

A Rolheur insect screen can be adjusted to fit your openings perfectly, whether small bathroom windows, wide patio doors or front doors with unusual dimensions.

A closer look at the different types of insect screen
Choosing an insect screen depends above all on the layout of the property and on how it will be used. In Cagnes-sur-Mer, certain insect screen installations are preferred according to residents' precise needs.
Which window insect screen should you choose?
The window insect screen comes in several formats. Among them, the fixed model is particularly suitable for windows that are rarely opened, or opened only to air a room. This type of unit is robust and long-lasting — ideal for continuous protection against insects.
For those who like to air their home often, the roller insect screen is appealing for its practicality. Discreet when not in use, it unrolls easily thanks to an ingenious system. Close to the sea, this option avoids repeated dismantling and effectively protects indoor spaces on summer evenings when mosquitoes are at their most active.
How do you choose the right door insect screen?
Protecting a patio door or a main entrance sometimes means fitting a different model, one that is used far more often day to day. Here, the hinged door insect screen stands out for its strength: ideal for families with children or pets coming and going in the garden.
Another interesting option is the magnetic insect screenwhich is popular for how simple it is to fit and for closing automatically each time someone walks through. Here again, it is perfectly possible to have a made-to-measure insect screen to meet any constraint of size or style imposed by the original joinery.

More about insect screens in Cagnes-sur-Mer
The mild climate that makes Cagnes-sur-Mer pleasant to live in is just as attractive to mosquitoes, and they arrive at dusk exactly when you want the windows open. A made-to-measure screen is the one answer that does not force a choice between fresh air and a quiet evening.
Why made to measure, here in particular
Screens sold in kit form assume a standard opening. Few houses in Cagnes have one: a bathroom window in the old town, a wide sliding bay in a hillside villa and an atypical front door in a 1970s block all need different dimensions. A screen built to the measurement taken at the opening sits flush against the existing joinery, so it disappears into the façade instead of being an object stuck onto it.
The coastal position adds a second reason. Salt-laden air attacks fixings and mechanisms far faster than it does a few kilometres inland, so the materials and the frame quality matter more here than they would in Grasse.
Mousti-Rolh: what is inside the cassette
Our roller range is built around three components that decide whether a screen still works in five years.
- The internal mechanism. The springs are heavy-duty and silent, and the return speed can be adjusted with the screen already installed — no dismantling to correct a screen that snaps back too hard.
- PVC seals. One or two seals at the roller stop flying and crawling insects getting in above the mesh, which is the gap most screens forget.
- The side channels. Telescopic and adjustable, so they take up any out-of-plumb in the opening, with brushes that close the sides against insects.
Which type for which opening
Windows
A fixed panel suits a window that is rarely opened, or opened only to air a room: it is robust and needs no maintenance. Where you open the window daily, a roller screen is more practical — discreet when not in use, and near the sea it avoids the seasonal dismantling that kit screens require.
Doors and terrace access
A door used several times a day takes more punishment. A hinged screen is the sturdy answer for families with children or pets going in and out to the garden. A magnetic screen closes itself behind each passage and is simple to fit. For wide sliding bays onto a terrace, a side-sliding screen is the better arrangement.
What it costs
Four things drive the price: the exact dimensions, the type of opening, the mechanism chosen, and the fitting itself.
As an order of magnitude, a standard kit model is generally between €40 and €100. A made-to-measure screen runs from about €120 to over €400, particularly when several openings are involved or when the frame is a reinforced, higher-specification one. Fitting by a professional adds to that, and it is what makes the difference between a screen that seals and one that lets insects past at the edges.
Why use a local fitter
Fitting a screen is not stapling mesh over an opening. It needs the mesh at the right tension, no gap left at the perimeter, and respect for the look of the existing joinery. An approved Rolheur installer working in the area also knows which materials hold up in a coastal setting, can advise on corrosion resistance, and can repair a torn mesh quickly rather than replacing the whole unit.
Where screens are usually fitted
