Howdy!
We finally treated ourselves to some "decent" fly screens in the new house so we can open the window in the evening without bloodsuckers coming in.
We had them measured and installed by a professional company. For 1 window and a swinging door on the veranda, about €500.
What we didn't consider was our cat. She saw "oh, window open! cool, I want to get in." - followed by "oh, what's that?" - followed by standing upright on the fly screen with extended claws.
Now the screen has several damaged spots from that - even a hole in one place. :(
I probably can't blame the installer if our cat stands on the fly screen. It probably wasn't made for that. On the other hand, I'm a bit disappointed, considering the price, that it is made of such weak and thin material. Is that normal / do we have to accept it?
I assume the screens can be recovered, but they are only 2 months old, and considering the price we paid, I'm a bit apprehensive about asking now what it costs to replace them.
