In the midsummer season, annoying mosquitoes are always lingering. When night falls, they swarm out from every corner, their “buzzing” sound lingering in the ears. If you’re not careful, they leave red, itchy bumps on your skin. At this time, doors and windows that can block mosquitoes become particularly important.

01
Door and Window Sealing and Drainage: The First Line of Defense Against Mosquitoes

When it comes to mosquito prevention, many people first think of screen windows but easily overlook the sealing performance of doors and windows themselves. If a window is poorly sealed, stagnant water will become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, and drainage outlets will even serve as unimpeded channels for mosquitoes to enter. Rongo system doors and windows use EPDM seamless welded rubber strips, which have no seams or adhesive joints, leaving no gaps for water or air to penetrate. This greatly enhances water tightness and air tightness, ensuring no “whistling” sound even in strong winds. Their corners adopt a continuous bending process, with uniform force around, fitting more closely with the profiles and leaving no gaps for mosquitoes to invade.

In terms of drainage design, Rongo doors and windows feature a floor drain-type drainage system, equipped with wind and insect-proof rubber covers, anti-fall water inlet covers, and leak-proof thickened rubber. This design avoids the problems of traditional drainage holes being prone to water accumulation and mosquito entry, enabling one-way drainage from the interior to the exterior. It not only solves rainwater backflow but also effectively blocks mosquitoes’ invasion paths and reduces the risk of mosquitoes breeding in stagnant water.

Choosing the Right Screen Window for Effectiveness

There are various screen window materials on the market—glass fiber, nylon, diamond mesh, etc.—which can be overwhelming. It is recommended to prioritize diamond mesh. Made of high-strength stainless steel wires woven by heavy-duty precision looms, with a spray-painted matte finish, diamond mesh not only provides basic mosquito protection but also ensures lighting and ventilation without obstructing the view, and has a longer service life.

The mosquito-proof effect of diamond mesh is closely related to its mesh count: the higher the count, the smaller the mesh holes, and the better the protection. Common screen windows have 14, 16, 18, or 20 meshes. When choosing, balance mosquito protection and ventilation—16 to 20 meshes typically block most common mosquitoes, striking a good balance. For environments with many or small-sized mosquitoes, 22 or 26 meshes are better.

Integrated Window-Screen Design for Greater Durability

High-quality system doors and windows use high-grade primary aluminum profiles for the glass sash frame, offering excellent wind pressure resistance and resistance to deformation. The matching screen sash uses the same profiles, ensuring sturdiness and durability. For example, Rongo Mate105 outward-opening system windows adopt an integrated structure, using ultra-high-precision 6063-T5 aluminum profiles. The new design features outward-opening glass sashes and inward-opening screen sashes, where the inward-opening screen sash can reach 90°, enabling larger-area ventilation and keeping the home environment clean and bright. The indoor screen sash is also fitted with embedded metal protective rounded corners to prevent child collisions—thoughtful details.

Maintenance and Cleaning of Screen Windows

If screen windows are not cleaned promptly, they become dirt traps, affecting air permeability and appearance. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to gently clean the screen surface and keep it tidy.

In addition, regularly check if the screen mesh is intact—replace it promptly if damaged or aged. Also, inspect door and window sealing strips regularly; replace or repair them if aged or loose to ensure full sealing when closed, preventing mosquitoes from sneaking in.

in summer, a Rongo system door or window can let in the warm evening breeze, fill the space with bright moonlight, silently guard your leisure and quiet moments, help you bid farewell to mosquito troubles, and enjoy a refreshing home life.
